Thursday Sept. 8th....little run

Yesterday morning, we were supposed to get up at 5:00am and run.  I told Jodi that I would run with her because her running partner was out of town.  Well, 5 O'Clock rolled around a little too early for my liking (I'm not sure how she does it 3 days a week...she's a real animal...such discipline!!!  Love ya!!).  And I was able to convince her that I would run with her later that night.

So...it's after football practice around 8:00pm and it's time to get our run on.  We did her regular 3 mile loop.  I haven't run in a while so it was a good pace for me for sure.  We finished up our 3 miles in 28:16.  Not too bad.

It was a good week as far as exercise goes. 

Now I'm looking forward to the football games this weekend!

Wed. Sept 7th...100-30-20 BEAT DOWN!!!

Got my new record on Wednesday in the 100 jump ropes, 30 sit-ups, 20 push-ups routine.  I completed 7 full rounds of the 100-30-20.  There is now no question as to how to fly through the rounds....just don't miss on any of the jump rope reps!!!

I only missed one skip in the jump rope section of the workout.  I was on jump number 7 in the second round and missed.  Other than that I was able to do 6 sets of 100 straight jump ropes without missing.  And the set that I did miss, I nailed 100 straight immediately after the miss.

The secret is the jump rope!!  Just don't miss.

I really like this workout....it really pushes me.

Monday Sept. 5th...100-30-20 SWEET REVENGE!!!!

Yesterday was my payback to the 100-30-20 routine.  I kicked it's butt yesterday.  I once again put 20 minutes on the timer and got busy.  Unlike Thursday, it was in the mid 60's as opposed to the upper 90's...I was able to focus on the task at hand...

Well, in those 20 minutes I was able to accomplish 6 2/3 rounds.  I finished my last sit up as the beeper went off.  I didn't have time to squeeze the last push-ups in.  It felt so good to be able to push hard and get more than 4 rounds finished. 

I like this new workout better.  Instead of seeing how long it takes me to do 4 rounds, I will shift my workout to see how many rounds I can complete in 20 minutes.  Over time I will increase the duration of the routine.  For now, 6 2/3 completed rounds in 20 minutes is my record.

Thursday Sept. 1.......100-30-20 Whipping

I'm just now posting this but it happened on Thursday Sept. 1.  I got home from school and went to the driveway to complete my 100-30-20 routine.  I put 20 minutes on the clock and went to work....or attempted to go to work...

Let me just say that it was every bit of 97 degrees out on Thursday (yes, it sounds like an excuse but it is simply a fact!!).  It was HOT HOT HOT.  Unfortunately it ended up taking me about 24 minutes to do 5 rounds of the 100 jump rope, 30 sit-ups and 20 push-ups.  What really slowed me down was the fact that I could do no less than 50 consecutive jump-ropes.  That means that once I got to 50 I was good...but if I missed on 48 then I had to go all the way back to 0 and start all over...however, once I got to 50 all I needed to do was get the next 50 to get to 100.  On consecutive times I jumped 45, 47, 43.  That frustrated me and forced me to lose focus....

But I kept at it and ended up finishing the routine.  Tough but well worth it!
