Insane Morning

I shouldn't say it was insane... because it wasn't.  I simply could not get into the Plyo Cardio workout this morning.  Maybe it's because it was 4:35 AM (don't ask), or because I ran 3 miles last night, or because I really just don't like Insanity workouts... whatever the reason, I did not have it in me to even try to not rest.  Don't get me wrong, I do think the Insanity workouts help, but I do not prefer them over the P90X2 workouts.  I wonder if I would feel differently if it was all I was doing -- and if I actually took the fit test and could see improvements. 

However, my 3-mile run last night was awesome!  The right music and the right route, plus I'm not sick this week... all made for a nice run.  I ran faster than I did when John and I ran at the beginning of the month, but not as fast as I would like.  I'm working on increasing my speed -- and in August I am going to start up half marathon training again.  I'm planning to do the Tinker Bell Half Marathon in January, maybe the Malibu Half in November, and possibly a fun "dirty girl" 5K mud run in November too (as long as Kari does it with me!).  

Plyo Cardio Circuit

Here's the thing that I don't like about Insanity - Plyo Cardio Circuit: just when you think you're going to get a break, Shaun T. makes you do more work!

Seriously, you do a cardio circuit, which is three-four exercises back-to-back for 3 minutes, then a water break.  But on the last circuit, rather than a water break, it's two-three more minutes of a completely different kind of exercise!  It's like a bonus circuit, except you don't feel like you won a prize.

I'm still feeling exhausted and that my workouts aren't having much of an impact.  We have a ton of leftovers from the party this weekend, so we are finishing those and then it's back to cleaner eating throughout June. 

In other news, I'm officially done with school and now have a Ph.D.!
