Week 2 day 6

So, the internet was down on Thursday, so I couldn't blog. Yesterday, the internet came back on, but only temporarily. Grrrr. This morning my awesome husband found out the problem and fixed it! He's so awesome <3 So, here's my update:
Thursday I did that R.I.P.P.E.D. class and it was pretty intense. I had to do modified movements about 1/3 of the time because some of them were so hard. I got a really good workout, and I've decided to continue doing Muscle Boot Camp on Tuesdays AND R.I.P.P.E.D on Thursdays. So, pretty much, I had to change my whole training. This is my new training plan:

I put my long run on Saturdays instead of Wednesdays. I thought it would be best to have an easy workout day right before the long run day. Yesterday I did 2 miles in just under 20 minutes, which is my best time ever! I tried to start out really fast, but after the second lap, I was so out of breath! So I ended up walking the 3rd lap, and then continued my run. Instead of trying to run really fast, I decided to run just a little faster than normal. I sprinted the last lap and ended up with a really good time, especially for walking one of those laps! This morning, I ran 4 miles and feel really good. It wasn't hard, and I could have kept going, but I figured I really need to pace myself and follow the training plan as much as possible. But I feel so good that I ran 4 miles and could have kept going! Me! I really feel like a runner!

My diet is a bit better. I'm drinking more green juices, fresh veggies and fruits, and trying to do as much low fat as possible. Last night I made a dish from the Biggest Loser Cookbook that I have, peppered chopped steak. It was really good! I made some roasted new potatoes and a Caesar salad. Yes, I know that a Caesar salad is not low fat. But the rest of the meal was! =)

I won't be posting tomorrow, it's my rest day. Monday is my weigh in day ..... I'm curious to know how my weight is doing =)

Have a happy weekend, everyone!
