YoYo’s World

The past two days have been great to workout outside. It’s been so beautiful outside the last few days. I’ve definitely been taking the opportunity to exercise outside whenever I get the chance.

Yesterday I ran 2.1 miles in 22 minutes. I ran a whole minute faster than what I’ll need to do for the half marathon. I am pretty content for my speed since I felt like I was going at a crawling pace. I also did some strength training. I did my usual strength training exercises like planks, side planks and their variations. I also did some supermans and birdogs, as well as some jumping jacks and plyometrics.

Today was my 30 min cross training day. I went on a cardio bike at the gym and did strength training and conditioning afterwards. I went on a few of the machines working mainly my core and upper body. I also worked on my hip abductors and adductors. Afterwards I ended up walking about 2.5 miles while talking to my mom on the phone. I spent about one hour on the phone, so it was a nice and wasy walk. It also made for good conversation.

I went a little ahead of my training schedule by walking those 2.5 miles but like I said it was an easy walk so I don’t think I’ll be paying for it later. Other than that, I can’t believe I just finished two weeks of my training schedule. That means I have ten more weeks to go! It feels like a long time, but I also feel like I’ve been working out for a long time. I’ve been able to discipline myself and keep myself on track. I’m beginning to prove to myself that I can really get down and dirty and achieve my goals. I’ve been doing for two weeks and I’m confident that I’ll be able to continue for the next ten weeks.

I’m excited to find out what I’ll be able to do next!

Take it easy!
