After registering for a bunch of mud runs a month or two ago Tom and I decided to hit the cold weather running pretty hard.... at least that's what we decided. In reality I think we have been running a grand total of three times since then... but hey its better than nothing.
One of the mud runs, the Spartan Race, posts a workout of the day and sends you an email at 10 pm each evening with the following days workout. Most of the time I laugh as I read the ridiculously hard workout while I lay in bed. However, Friday nights email (with Saturday's workout) actually sounded doable so I hit the gym Saturday morning to give it a try:
12 burpees
400 meter run
11 burpees
400 meter urn
10 burpees
400 meter run
well you get the idea... this nonsense kept up until you got down to 0 burpees.
I did it! And this spurred me to get back on the workout bandwagon. Sadly I was feeling lazy and unmotivated on Sunday and Monday... but this evening I was feeling like I needed to do something. Here is today's Work out of the day. I modified it to look like this (because lets face it... a 5 minute plank was not happening... and if it was... it certainly was not happening 3 times):
10 push ups
2 min plank
50 crunches
10 push ups
2 min plank
50 bicycles
10 push ups
2 min plank
50 leg lifts
All of this was accomplished while watching one episode of How I Met Your Mother on netflix. Pretty successful evening. Tomorrow I'm headed to my brothers house to baby sitt my niece, but I hope to go for a 3-4mile run on Thursday. We'll see....
