Work Something - Draw Something

This week was supposed to be one of my best weeks ever - instead I had a certain game take over my life. (I highly suggest everyone download it)

I tried to start adding in a bit of running into my routine - and let me tell you. My body is not used to running. I don't know how you runners do it.

I did a short 1.5 mile run on Saturday and it felt great the first 20 steps - after that my body basically shut down and I had work hard to stop myself from turning around and walking home in tears. Let's just say I didn't run the entire time.

I used a pretty good app to monitor my run (mostly walk) using the iPhone called Map My Run. It keeps track of your time, the rate of your run, and provides a map of where you ran (with elevation) when you complete a workout. Pretty cool stuff - and it's free! I think it will give me an extra level of motivation as I try to sprinkle in a few good runs during the week.

Here is my report:

Mon: Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X = 75 mins
Tues: Plyometrics = 60 mins
Wed: Shoulders and Arms + Ab Ripper X = 75 mins
Thurs: 0 mins
Fri: 0 mins (unless we count walking a golf course as exercise)
Sat: 30 mins running + Yoga X = 90 mins

Total = 5 hours 30 mins
