"Insanity" + Long Run = Ouch!

The day after Christmas, my aunt talked me into trying out one of her workout DVDs similar to p90x called Insanity. During the workout, I was frustrated mostly with my upper body strength because I can hardly do pushups and it had a significant amount of them throughout the session. It was a good workout and I could definitely tell this morning! I rarely do strength or circuit training and my body told me so... I was very sore!

Today I had a run scheduled with a friend from home, Ashley. It was really nice because I know I wouldn't have gotten a long run in if she hadn't been here to do it with me. We met at the 5-mile-corner in Presho and ran towards town. The original plan was to run 10 miles, but my hamstring and out-of-shape-ness really got the best of me and we did 8 instead. I feel good about getting that much done to say the least!

The rest of the week, I want to try to get in some yoga and possibly another shorter run! Once the new year rolls around I'll start trying to drop a little more weight, especially since I picked up some I had already lost from the holidays :(. I also plan to start getting into a triathlon training routine too. It's going to be hard, but fun! I'm ready!
