Uh oh... 10 weeks left!

Crunch time people!!  So here I am 10 weeks from race day and I do not feel much more prepared than I did 3 months ago... woops!

1/6/13 - 2.25 miles on treadmill, day 5 burpee challenge; late night 15 minute blast cardio (50 jumping jacks, 30 seconds high knees, 30 seconds rapid butt kicks for 4 rotations) - I was about 400 Fuel points away from my goal at 10:30 tonight, so I did this high paced cardio workout, and finished the day strong

1/7/13 - Day 6 Burpee challenge, 60 minute Zumba class with my new glove weights!  WOW - I have been going to Zumba 1-2 times per week for over a year now and MAN that was tough.  I didn't think that it would make as rastic of a difference as it did.  I was EXHAUSTED!! So excited to keep moving towards my sculpted shoulders goal :)

1/8/13 - Day 7 burpee challenge, Feeling sore and sluggish today, didn't run like I wanted to.. got sucked into Friends re-runs haha!  I did a late night cardio blast for about 20 minutes at around 10:30 when I realized I wasn't going to hit my points goal for the day.  And I was so glad I did!



1/9/13 - Day 8 burpee challenge, 60 minute Zumba class with weight gloves - Also had a NikeFuel Best Wednesday :)

1/10/13 - Day 9 Burpee Challenge, 40 minutes on treadmill doing the: Infinite Infinitesimal Interval Increases (The Four I's Workout) - Short intervals increasing speed with each repetition
HOW TO:  Starting at a pace that's barely distressing (perhaps 30 seconds slower than marathon pace), run 1 minute then back off to a recovery pace for 30 seconds. On the next interval, move the speed up 0.1 miles per hour. Continue increasing the speed each interval (while maintaining the same rest period) until you're running close to your 5K pace. Once you've hit a speed that you can no longer sustain on 30 seconds recovery, your workout is over.

1/12/13 - Worked at the restaurant.  Walked a total of 4.65 miles that day; it was a pretty slow night, so not bad, all things considered!
