Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge || Week 2 Review

Week 2 Review After kind of a crappy start to the week (with almost every workout being a conversation with myself about how much I didn't feel like working out) I ended the week with the best run I've had in about 3 weeks! 6 miles, with the exception of mile 1, at an average 9:32 pace! It felt so good to begin feeling like I wasn't recovering anymore. I smiled while I ran and for the rest of the day!

This was the second Saturday of joining a new running group. We started together but didn't actually run together this time. They were doing track work and I just wanted the mileage. No worries. I felt great, ran a new route and enjoyed myself the entire time!

Week 3 Goals

Workout Plan

Sunday - run 5, Stretch X
Monday - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps ; Ab Ripper
Tuesday -  run 6, Ab Ripper
Wednesday - Back and Biceps; Ab Ripper, Interval Plus
Thursday - Yoga X, run 5
Friday - Legs & Back; Ab Ripper, Kenpo
Saturday - run 10, Ab Ripper, Stretch X 
(all strength training, cross training and most core workouts are P90X and P90X Plus)

Continuing with the same Nutrition Goals from last week. 

• Shakeology smoothie - 7 days
• vitamins - 7 days
• stick to the weekly plan everyday! (the holidays and 2 December birthdays in the family make this tough but worth it) 
• more water (I can't seem to get enough water)

Adding One More Goal this week.

• more sleep 
• no matter what time I wake up I will not get out of bed until my actual wake up time of 4:00 am

And lastly, I leave you with this because I'm a sucker for Nike ads and I wish this was my lunch hour.

I too had a wierd week with my workouts, just didn't have energy for some reason...until yesterday I started seeing my times swing back in the right direction. Five miles in rain and wind at a 9:51 avg pace. Yay! Not my fastest, but at least not total digression like the rest of the week. :) Jessica

Awesome job with your 6 miler! I have the same conversation with myself. In fact this weekend has been a workout bust so far:( I will turn it around next week for sure! My only hope is that the weather here gets warmer so I can run outside instead of on the treadmill! Have a great day!

[Toni Church]

Great job on your training!! Thanks again for the link-up!!!

[Jamie @ couchtoironwoman]

Great pace for your 6 miler! I hope I can hold that pace in mid distance runs sometime soon!

Thanks for the link up!

I wish I had hope for warmer weather. I'd be happy if it would just stop raining. Cold I can do. Cold and wet not so much. Here's to a new and better week :)

Hi Jamie and thank you. Keep at it and you will. I remember when I was happy to run 5 miles (at any pace) without walking :)
