So it is April 1st 2011....we are now 12 weeks into the new year. I wish I could say I accomplished my whole 8 weeks lost challenge and that I am now sporting a killer pair of abs. I am exercising more than I have in the past. I started doing the couch potatoe to 5k with my friend Michelle. It is a 9 week program that trains you for your first 5k. It is somewhat made for people like me who have never ran a day in their lives, but it also works if you used to run and now want to get back into it. I'm enjoying it so far....weeks 1 and 2 were cake, 3 I did twice and 4 is a little rough. Our goal is to run a 5k at the end of May.
Here is the link if you are interested in the program. There is also an app for your iphone or ipod.

You can also like them on Facebook, which is awesome because the people on there are really motivating.
So I'm setting up a mini challenge for myself...we are going to California May 1st. I have four weeks to really crack the whip. My goal is work out six days a week, 3 which will be running, 2 are will be Zumba and then 2 to 3 days of strength training. Yes that is more than 6 workouts, but the strength training can be combined on any of those other days.
I will try to update more regularly...hoping it will help keep me accountable.
Happy Exercising People!
