I'm trying as hard as I can to fit in some workout time into my crazy days. I didn't do much at home today, but we did run sprints in class today (8 laps), so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad. I had the intention of doing a really good workout today, but group project problems sucked that time right up. 

 Exercise of the Day: 

Incredible Abs 2

I realize that I've been a horrible blogger this month. I still jot stuff down, but I've gotten so lazy in posting (caught up today)...I really want to be consistent as soon as finals are over. I'm almost free! 

Exercise of the Day: 

none really

1 mile in 7:36

*I had my 4th mile run test today. I'm really upset because I actually increased my time by 5 seconds. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I pulled an all-nighter last night and I had no energy...regardless, this is not cool and I hope it doesn't ruin my grade in running class.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm not a huge fan of meat either. And although I've had a burger here and there, and sandwiches, pepperoni, blah....I hadn't had a piece of meat as a side or a meal for a very long time..maybe for a year or so. Well yeah, I had steak today...and it was odd. I was full all day...and then my mom made quesadillas for dinner. I wasn't hungry, but I had some anyway. I really need to learn to say no to random hunger-less eating, especially late at night.

Exercise of the Day: 

Ran 21:38 (loop) + 12:26

Incredible Abs 5 & 7

I'm very insecure with my tummy area because no matter what I do, the tubbiness just won't go away. BUT when I exercise, I can totally FEEL the muscles and it feels so much harder when i poke at it! It's not visible, but I'm starting to feel it...and it's all becoming more tangible. That's a step in the right direction...yay!

Exercise of the Day: 

Ran 22:08 (loop) + 12:59

The weather was extremely crazy and unmotivating at first. However, once I got out and started my run, that completely changed. It was pretty warm out... but foggy.... Then it started sprinkling. Never thought running in the rain could feel so amazing!

Exercise of the Day:

Ran 9:57 + 18:58 (half loop and back)  + 13:06

Sprinting (part 2) in class.

I had a pretty active day today. It started off pretty sluggish because I overslept, so my morning run was extremely delayed. I didn't leave my house until 11:00, and it already felt like 90 degrees out! I was out for about an hour and I tanned like crazy! 

Exercise of the Day: 

Ran 9:47 + 22:29 (loop) + 9:04

Incredible Abs 1 & 7

*I also cleaned my car today..and let me tell you! That was more of a workout than my workout itself. I died. I later accompanied my mom on a long walk around the park. The heat and everything else combined= an extremely tired Jackie.

Today has to have been the hottest day 2012 has had so far. Maybe not, but it sure felt like it. My run was a struggle because of the heat, but I was energized after, so I had a pretty good and intense workout. 

Exercise of the Day: 

Ran 10:00 + 21:29 (loop)

Incredible Abs 3 & 4

*I'm really bad at drinking water during winter. I absolutely love the ease of hydrating during hot days. I must have drank gallons and gallons of water after my workout. Yay

Thursdays are really long days. I hung out with a friend after work...we went to eat. I'm not a huge fan of eating out because if I buy food, I want to eat my money's worth, even if I'm not that hungry anymore. It's a problem. But whatever...I had a spicy chicken sandwich from Stone Oven and it was yummy. 

Exercise of the Day: 

Ran 1 mile gym (9:56)

I didn't technically exercise today. I did have a mile test in my running class though.... I got a time of 7:31 and I struggled a little. My goal is to get to about 6 minutes by the end of the semester. I have 2 more tests to go. But I'm definitely scared of regressing and failing my final. These are my past times: 

1st test-8:46

2nd-7:45

3rd-7:31

Exercise of the Day: 

none
