Week 7 & 8 Mini Training

I've been on fire these past two weeks and I love it! I'm up to 7 miles already (even though my schedule says 4) I discovered two things as well. 

1. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred on Youtube. This is the one of her videos made several years ago, but I wanted to try it out. I wanted to see if I could stick to it for 30 days...well, that didn't happen. A few reasons: 1. I go out of town some weekends 2. I have roommates so I have to do it when they are all awake or gone 3. I'm running as well 4. It's kind of boring :/ I think I will try it again the future.

2. Cardio Craze at Preston (campus gym)!!! I love it! A friend told me about it so I thought I would try it out. Other group fitness classes at the gym have been kind of wimpy, but my friend told me this one kicks her butt. It totally does! It's a 75-minute class with cardio and weight-lifting. The instructor is a middle age man that is very motivating. I have a lot of fun! I'm going to try to go every Thursday night and some Tuesdays if my night class is cancelled.
