OK, so I've completely lost my mind...in a good way, I think. Today was the day I tried running on the treadmill before doing my Insanity. I picked today since it was cardio recovery. I ran an easy 3 miles, staying at 5MPH & the last 1/2 mile I went up to 5.2MPH before coming back down & cooling off. It felt good & I think it was a bit more relaxing since starting Insanity. The only problem was that my shin hurt. I think I strained it during the Frostbite race & it hasn't really healed. Part of the problem is that I really need new running shoes! I ordered a new pair of Nike iD (Structure Triax+ 13) so they should be coming in a few weeks. In the meantime, tomorrow I'm going to check Marshall's &/or TJ Maxx to see if they have any deals on some cross-trainers. I heard they're the best for Insanity, and maybe I can use them in the meantime with my running, too. Or if they have some good deals, maybe I'll just get new fill-in running shoes, too. :)
So the run went well & I came home to do cardio recovery. The first 10 minutes or so felt great! I was thinking "wow, this is going to be so easy". HA! Then he went into all those deep stretches & I was like "what the hell??". Forgot there really is no "recovery"!! LOL But it felt great compared to the usual INSANITY!!
Then to top off my day, because I'm just crazy like that...I did cardio abs!!!! And this is supposed to be my recovery day???? LOL Not only have I never worked out 6 days a week, but I've surely never done 3 workouts in one day!!!! Shaun, you have completely changed my life...and I thank you from the bottom of my ♥!!!! I did have a piece of cake at work today, and two pieces of pizza, so I guess I felt the need to do a little extra, too. It was a co-workers last day so we splurged a little. But I did bring a spinach salad to have with my pizza so I was thinking about my veggies!! :)
I'm feeling great after all the work I accomplished today & I'm ready to come back strong tomorrow!!
