I hate to admit this...

but the 30 Day Challenge isn't going so well.  I haven't exercised formally since Tuesday.  However, on a positive note, the scale is being nice.  It's not down to where I was a few weeks ago, but it's down from a couple of weeks ago.  Maybe the rest is actually helping my body or something.  At least that's what I can think to myself. 

Anyway, I don't think Turbo Fire is going to happen just yet...finances.  I told my husband that maybe he can just get it for me for Christmas.  That will probably work better anyway because a) it'll be too cold to run outside much, and b) he might be able to find it on Ebay for cheaper because it will have been out for 6 months by then.  I might invest in some new running shoes, but we'll see. 

I'm going to make a goal for next week to run at least 3 times since I have a 5K race on July 17th.  My plan is to do a 5K distance, aiming for a PR, then do a longer run for endurance's sake, plus some speed work on the treadmill.  I'll probably add in 30 Day Shred too.  I'm going to try and get as many days of that done before vacation (last week of July) since I haven't dropped out of this challenge.  I'll throw in some Turbo Jam too.  Oh, the best part of next week and for several weeks after that is I am done teaching for a while, so I can run whenever I want.  Maybe that'll help me get more runs in.  I sure hope so.

Enjoy your 4th of July!  I am sure we will!

Later...
