10 Miler Training Update and Shreddin' it!

It's been hot.  Like 105 degrees in the muggy, humid weather hot.  While that's really no excuse, because I have a gym membership, it makes things difficult for my friend and I to meet up together at our usual park to add miles to our training.  So I'm trusting that we are both training individually.  I'm still following the training plan for the most part.  This past week or so, I've been having really sore knees, and I think it's because I'm biking on my cross-training days, which means that my legs don't really rest.  So, I've taken up swimming at night doing laps in my pool and imagining that I look like Dara Torres.

Today, I did Day 1 of the 30-Day Shred by Jillian Micheals.  I was feeling antsy, and didn't have enough time for a run, but did have about 20 minutes to fit something in, so I grabbed my DVD and put on some workout clothes while she talks about the intro part for a couple of minutes.  I can tell I'll be somewhat sore tomorrow, but for now, I feel good.  Accomplished is more like it.

I also took BEFORE pictures.  Yeah, that's right.  Because there WILL be an after.  Wait for it....
