“It isn’t where you came from. It’s where you’re going that counts.”- Ella Fitzgerald
Week four was the beginning of what would become my new normal routine each week.
Through my AF membership, I was able to attend any classes held at the gym. For me, this would mean the 5:30am boot camp class every Tuesday and Thursday morning to compliment my Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday running.
Monday was a two and a half miler outside with my boyfriend, I felt good physically, and it was a beautiful day, but we still stopped three times because I just didn’t feel like pushing myself. I know that’s lame, but I didn’t care and just didn’t feel like being miserable.
Tuesday morning was my first 5:30am bootcamp and whew it was early!! Pretty tough to get up, but so worth it afterwards. It was a great feeling!! Highly recommend morning workouts if you can stand it!
Wednesday brought a two miler at AF, once again I stopped a few times, but still completed the mileage, and was pretty sore from the morning class the day before!
Thursday morning was my second early morning class, tough to get up, but so rewarding again!
Saturday was my first four miler. I worked 9-3pm and then ran outside afterwards with my boyfriend. We ran about 1.25 miles before the first stop, and then I got moody and struggled for the remaining mileage. It was pretty much an interval run after that of .25 miles at a time with walking in between. Got the mileage in, but it wasn’t pretty.
At the close of week four, I’m disappointed in myself and the effort I’ve been giving in the last two weeks. I have to have a turning point here soon before things start to ramp up.
