I Love Running--I Love Running--I Love Running

Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.  I am kind of in a dual training mode... I'm running to get myself ready for my 1st 5k in years...as well as getting myself physically ready for my next belt test.  I got in touch with my trainer and let her know exactly what was on the physical portion of my test and asked her to help me design a program that would help me with both goals. 
Soooooo - be careful what you ask for!   I got a kick a$$ workout program that had me really pushing myself from day 1.   


Here's a small sample. This was yesterday's workout:
Warmup (!!!) 1000 Reps of jumprope
100 crunches (3 sets - 33/34/33)
3 sets of 10 hanging leg lifts
100 pushups (did this in 4 sets of 25)
20 Hindu Squats/30 Iron Cross Squats/20 Bootstrappers
Tricep Extensions (4 sets of 12 each arm with 5lbs)


Today was cardio only - Ran 1.72 mi in 30 min.  Keeping track of this so I can gauge my 5k progresss. 
Nutrition was right on yesterday-- 1572 calories   Carbs-52%/Protein-30%/Fat-18%


End of month weight loss for March sucked... I lost only 2 lbs.   The small upside is that I didn't gain any weight... and March was a challenging month for me mentally.  So, we'll just look forward from here.


Have a great week!
