Summer 2010 Fitness Tracker

SUMMER 2010 FITNESS TRACKER

I'm going to use this link to track my progress though out the summer!

I'm coloring in my progress. It's really little baby steps!

100 Mile Run Resolution

15 miles in! 85 Miles to go!

6/8/2010 - 1.5 miles (It was hard. I walked a bit so I went until I hit 2 miles...Man, running is hard work!)
6/10/2010 - 1 mile (Yeah yeah I know! But I also did an ab work out AND a kettle bell work out!)
6/14/2010 - 1.5 miles (I split it up. Half before yoga, half after yoga)
6/16/2010 - 1.5 miles (I think it's getting easier to run a bit farther at a time, I only have to walk every .7 miles... It used to be about every .25 miles.  It still is the most BORING sport in my mind)
6/21/2010 - 1 mile (I thought I was doing SO well.  I guess taking the weekend off was a BAD idea!)
6/30/2010 - 2 miles (I didn't die! But I alternated between longer bits of faster running and jogging)
7/5/2010 - 2 miles (I ran outdoors!! I alternated between jogging, running and walking but it felt pretty nice to run outside. Still need to build my stamina at the gym where I can keep track of my pace!)]
7/7/2010 - 2.5 miles (I was a fat-ass and ate fried food last night so I was guilted into running!! It was a longer run/jog!)
7/9/2010 - 1 mile (I did Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred 20 minute work out and that kicked my butt that I could only do 1 mile, I did do strength afterwards though...)
7/10/2010 - 1 mile (I went to a wedding and still ran at the gym. Yep motivated!)

Turbo Jam and Workout Classes

6/7/2010 - 45 minute CARDIO PARTY! (This kicked my butt...)
6/8/2010 - 20 minute AB JAM (Oh feel the burn!)
6/9/2010 - 20 minute WORKOUT (Sweaty but could have gone longer)
                 20 minute AB JAM (feeling the burn from yesterday)
6/10/2010 - 20 minute AB JAM (not as bad as the past 2 days! maybe it's getting easier??)
                   20 minute KETTLE BELL WORK OUT -not turbo jam (kicked my butt...)
6/14/2010 - 45 minute POWER YOGA (who knew yoga could be so darn hard!?)
6/17/2010 - 20 minute TURBO CARDIO (Maybe I wasn't doing it as intensely as before but it wasn't hard...)
                   20 minute TURBO SCULPT (A little resistance training.  5lb weights, squats, arm sculpt)
6/21/2010 - 60 minute POWER YOGA (Seriously kicked my little butt! Who knew I had muscles there!)
6/26/2010 - 20 minute WORKOUT (Sweaty but good!)
                   10 minute AB JAM (Ran out of time, but got a work out in!)
7/9/2010 - 20 minute 30 DAY SHRED (Level 1) (Jillian Michaels is NO joke! I am SWEATY!)
                  30 minutes STRENGTH TRAIN: LIFT WEIGHTS
7/12/2010 - 20 minute 30 DAY SHRED (Level 1) (Still breathless... panting...)

Summer Resolutions

I never do New Year's Resolutions because I KNOW I can't keep them.  I also have never set a Summer Resolution for myself.  But I'm feeling inspired.  My friend, Tiffanie, over at My Domestic Niche is currently doing a Push Up Challenge where she is doing 200 push ups a DAY! (I can't even do ONE good push up).  So clearly that isn't my resolution.

While I was writing my Summer to do list (that list is for another day), I thought of my fitness goals.  I want to try Yoga.  But that seemed too easy so I wrote "run 100 miles."  If you know me, or read my posts around the Run for the Warrior, you know that running is not my forte.  I quite suck at land sports.  I'm a fishie!  Anyway, I'm challenging myself to run 100 miles this summer!

We'll see how I do, but I have an old-school tracking device (that looks like a chart that they used to use in kindergarten where the teacher puts stickers on your paper for every nice thing you do...). 

 I'm also doing Turbo Jam.

 If you have never heard of it, it's by the BeachBody company that does the famous PX90 system.  Turbo Jam is fun though.  It's really my kind of work out.  It combines aerobic exercise with capoeira moves, kick boxing moves and dance! FUN!

This is Charlene Johnson who started it.  She is in her 40's and she is fit! What do you think??

I think Turbo Jam is SUPER fun but it's also exhausting. 

So I'm pumped. I'll be doing my Turbo Jam workout and running a few miles today!

 Do you have any summer resolutions that you want to conquer?
