- W7D1 (Wed)
- Walk 5, run 25, walk 5 (days 2 & 3 are the same)
- It’s that awkward time of year when it’s just a touch too chilly for shorts and short sleeves when I head out, but not cold enough for long pants and long sleeves once I get going. Have compromised with running shorts and a hoodie these last couple of runs. Seems to be working fine so far.
- REST DAY (Thurs)
- P90 Sculpt 1-2
- W7D2 (Fri)
- Legs felt a little tired. Willing to chalk that up to poor sleep thanks to the take-home sleep test I did the night before.
- Wanted to stop for a walk break at the half-way turnaround point, but pushed through.
- REST DAY (Sat)
- P90 Sculpt 3-4
- Felt like I was having trouble sticking with P90, maybe because I was getting bored with it, so decided to try the Level 3-4 DVD.
- First three rounds are the same as the three rounds of Level 1-2, except at a quicker pace and with a major increase in push-up and squat reps. Fourth round is new exercises.
- Kicked. My. Ass.
- P90 Sculpt 3-4
- W7D3 (Sun)
- SUCKED. Serious DOMS in my legs – particularly my thighs – from the new P90 routine. Felt like I was fighting for every step. Made it through, though.
- Also, if you find yourself wondering the night before a run if you’ve charged your running headphones? Just charge them anyway. Made it *almost* all the way out and back before they died.
- REST DAY (Mon)
- Actual rest day. Okay, maybe a walk before dinner. But that’s it.
This week’s rediscovered running music is Venjan by Hurdy-Gurdy. Helped me find my zen place at the end of W7D1. I can’t find it streaming anywhere, but you can check out a snippet here.
