Wow, life in October has been busy!!!
October 9th I ran my second Half Marathon and finished in 2 hours 9 minutes. Not bad! I beat my first marathon time by 10 minutes. I know I could have done much better, but my hip flexor gave out at mile 6-7 and I was pushing myself despite the large amount of pain. Under perfect conditions--good weather, good knee, good trails....I really think I could get just under 2 hours. Put a cheesecake at the end, and I'm golden. Goal for 2011 baby!!!
Also on October 23rd I got officially certified to teach Turbo Kick!! I love Turbo Kick-- its fun, its a super high intensity workout with lots of booty shaking. Definitely my kind of workout! :) The certification was an all day process and I had to not only take a written test but also a physical test. Not to mention we did 3 Turbo Kick rounds---each about 50-60 minutes each. So, you know...working out for 4-5 hours straight. I burned some mega calories!! So, right now I am helping a girl teach her TK class...which is really good experience for me!!
Right now I am very happy to be doing a variety of workouts. Otherwise I get sick of it...just like I'm sick of seeing Charlie Sheen's face everywhere lately. Like seriously?! Why waste up space gossiping about him when there's much bigger and better gossip on...like WHY in the world did Rick Fox get voted off of DWTS? ....I digress...
So, this week has been:
Monday-- light walk (recovering from flu)
Tuesday-- Turbo Kick class & prep 100 minutes
Wednesday-- ChaLean Extreme & 5 mile run
Thursday--Turbo Kick class & prep 100 minutes
It feels amazing! I just need to get this hip flexor strengthened so I can maintain my long distance Saturday runs!!!
Well...time for a shower...I smell funky... peace!!
