Yes it is Friday! Group ride class on the workout agenda and it started at 5:30 this morning. I actually made it through but don't feel like it was my best workout. I am hoping to get a run in this weekend as I need to finally see progress. My eating hasn't been right for the last couple of days just to busy running the kids around and trying to get the house together. I start my half marathon training for Eugene half next week. I need to find three other races that I would like to participate in before the year is out as my goal was to run at least four this year. For sure without traveling I can do the Eugene in May, Girlfriend half in Oct and Eweb in Nov. Where will the next one be? Maybe I will try a Portland event that is flat in June or something.

Today was a very hard day to get up and out of the bed. I wanted to keep hitting the snooze on the alarm clock because I just didn't have it in me to get up after the clock went off the first time. I slowly moved around and got up to use the bathroom with every intention on getting back in the bed until I jumped on the scale and see that I am making progress.

Now I must stay focus and consistent to reach my goal which is about 5 pounds away. I am excited to be so close that this week. I just need to push through it and resist the bad food choice to reach success.

Goal was to do 60 minutes of group power. Task has been completed. Try to do Jillian 30 day shred dvd today or intervals of cardio and weights to boost the metabolism.

Today I was off to a good start despite moving into a new place I did not let that ruin my workout routine. I was able to get up and keep moving. I got up and did an interval run on the treadmill warm – up was 4.5 speed for 5 minutes followed by a various speeds ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. I stayed on the treadmill for about 40. Once that was completed, I did a cool down for 5 minutes.

I am serious thinking about getting back out for a run this evening. We have had gorgeous weather in the evenings, sun is still shining and it is light enough to get a quick run in but maybe not since my daughter has a basketball game. I will definitely try to do something before I go to bed tonight.

This is my plan for the week:

Monday - Group power 60 mins

Tuesday – Interval run 40 mins

Wednesday - 20 min easy run before 60 group power class

Thursday – Upbeat run 5 miles

Friday – Group ride class 60 mins
