McSlacker

Ugh, so after feeling a bit under weather for a week or so and getting crazy busy at work with new deliverables and massive amounts of progress notes I got quite slackery.

And by that I mean, I have not been to the gym at all in like two weeks.

I feel chubby & lazy and not myself.

I have been doing some crunches and things at home, but its not the same as getting in a great workout at a gym.

I feel like I have been hanging out eating McDoubles all day.

Blahhhh.

So here is my motivation to get my butt to the gym from now until the wedding!

Work out Schedule:

Monday: 6 am Workout
3 mile run & 30 min abs & 30 min arm/ shoulder workout

Basically, I'm not giving up this time!!!

Reasons To Be Fit: Weekly Workouts

I get a lot of comments from my other lovely bloggers stating to come how give them motivations for their workouts or to get them to the gym.

Well these are my motivators, so hopefully they can motivate you all!!

Monday:

Double work out this past Monday. 

Miles: 3:23 & 3.10

Time: 30 minutes for both

Pace: 9.17 & 9.40/ mile

Both really good runs. Was going to take it easy for the second time I went to the gym but decided after the first mile that I was just going to go big or go home. Felt pretty good during both runs though. No cramps, no pains. Would have kept going if it wasn't for people signed up for me after me.

First round did a nice arm work out, second time to the gym did some crunches left feeling pretty sore and loving it!!

Tuesday:

Miles: 3.17

Time: 30 minutes

Pace: 9:27/ a mile

Made the stupid mistake of wearing pants to the gym. I was like dying of heat exhaustion! It was awful, so I can imaging that if I had shorts on the run would have gone a bit better. The beginning started off really well though. 

Worked out some legs after this.

Wednesday: 

Miles: 3.34

Time: 30 minutes

Pace: 8:58/ a mile

Wooo!! Sub 9!! Hardly made it under 9 but made it none the less!! Learned my lesson with the pants so wore shorts and really felt pretty good the entire time. The last 5 minutes were a little hard breathing which is a first for me. Not really sure what was going on with that.

Did a nice arm/back workout after that.

Total Miles: 12.84

Was hoping to work out just as much but unfortunately I have a dentist appointment right after work tomorrow. Hoping to get in 3 times if I can get myself to wake up at 5:30 am to get my butt to the gym!1

Monday Rundays

Well I accidently took off from working out for a week in a half from Thanksgiving. 

My bad.

 I really like these to be fit picture. 

They motivate me quite a bit & I hope they are hoping some of you find some motivation as well!!

Wasn't able to get to the gym too often this past week & since it was raining or snowing so I wasn't able to get out side much for further runs. 

Tuesday: 

Miles: 3.15

Times: 30 minutes

Pace: 9:31/mile

I am not very good at running long distances on treadmills. I find them very boring and I get eager to get off. However, I am trying to increase my speed since some of my runs with my running partner were on the slower side. So I decided to try and run 30 minutes for each time that I run to be able to get down to a faster and further time with each run. Wasn't a bad run at all. I felt pretty decent the whole way, no pains, nothing. Good overall.

Wednesday: 

Miles: 2.18

Time: 20 minutes

Pace: 9:15/mile

Ugh, when I got to the gym all of the treadmills were filled and I had to do 10 minutes on a step machine before I was able to get on a treadmill. Well I only had an hour at the gym so I had to cut it down to 20 minutes because I am trying to incorporate weights into my gym nights to tone up the other parts of my body as well. My friend was running next to me and I was trying to increase my speed to catch up to her where she started 10 minutes before me. Almost had it to!!!

Total Miles: 5.32

♥

Hopefully this next week I will be able to get to the gym at least 3-4 times if not be able to run outside at least once or twice. I have also been trying to do a lot of planks since my abs are my target area. Ugh. 
Also, I am on 1 weeks without soda!!

But hey 5.32 miles is better than no miles that is for sure!!

Monday Rundays

After more than a week of being sick, I finally got my stride back!!

I ended up having a horrible sinus infection, so I started off a little rough, 

but I feel like I will be back to my normal self by the end of next week.

Tuesday: 

Miles: 6

Time: 1:07

Pace: 11:09/mile

First run after being super sick. It was a nigh run which are never my favorite, but due to it getting dark at 4:45pm there is not much time to do anything else. I always have to go kind of slower due to the fact that I can't really see where the sidewalks are uneven or rocks. I tend to stumble like 20x. A good start nonetheless. A nice long distance!

Wednesday:

Miles: 5

Time: 55:00

Pace: 11:05/mile

Another night run. Hardly a faster pace than the last run, but a little better. Felt pretty good during this run and had I been running in the day time, I bet I would have been around a 10 minute mile pace. If only New York State could even out their sidewalks!

Saturday:

Miles: 7:56

Time: 1:20

Pace: 10:34

Ohmygoodness. The first half of this run was STRAIGHT up hill. My legs hardly felt like they were moving. They were heavy and hurt. I thought I was running at a snails pace. In fact I am pretty sure I saw a snail beat me. But the second half was nice and flat. My pace picked up quite nicely, enough to bring in a nice average pace at the end. The furthest I have been since my half marathon!! I am sore now, let me tell you!! Even my abs hurt, which NEVER hurt after running! I am gonna have to find me so more hills!

Week Total: 18.56

Honeymoon body here I come!!

Ps. Today marks only 5 more months until our wedding!!!
