2.5
General October 2nd, 2008That’s all I could run yesterday. Started out with the slightest whisper of a headache and it only got worse. Allergy headache I’m guessing what with all of the fall weeds and pollen blowing around. Can’t believe I had to take an allergy pill in October!!! Man, that just sucked because it was a perfect run day. Cool morning breeze, slightly overcast with fog lingering just off shore. Awwww man!!! That 3 hour nap while it kicked in was nothing to complain about.
Wanted to run last night but could still feel a hint of a pounding sensation, so that was a no go.
Today we got rain. I’m going to do my bootcamp program. I got this from the Biggest Loser site. It’s Bob Harpers bootcamp so ya gotta know it’s not easy! I don’t have the link anymore, so here’s a taste. It consists of 30 full minutes of run like hell/walk circuits on the ‘dreadmill’. The run segments start at 5 mph and progress to 9 mph @ 3 min. each.. With my short legs probably not going to happen, but I must try! (help me) Next comes 30 minutes of 10 exercises, one minute each. Here’s how it goes:Push ups. Squats. Shoulder press(heavy on the weights). Shoulder press(same weights) with squats. Same weights-bicep curls. Keep the weights and alternating lunges. Tricep dips and into alt. lunges. Heavy up the weights and do lat. rows 30 sec ea. side and then back into lunges. Repeat circuit!!! Use remaining time to do crunches and stretch.
Holy smokes, do ya think this routine will kick my butt?
Will I survive?

2.5 is a great accomplishment! I used to have bad allergies before and I used to just end up not feeling like getting out of bed, not to mention exercising. So, good for you!

You’ll survive & eventually you’ll be writing about how easy the whole thing is. I picture you as this toned & fit superhero who wonders if she can leap buildings, leaps those buildings, decides those buildings are too short for proper leaping, builds taller buildings, and leaps those.

I wish I could run 2.5 any day. And I have a feeling YOU will kick ass on the workout instead of the other way around.

Wow, you’ll survive but I’ll understand if you don’t post for a while b/c you won’t be able to move your arms to type.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!

I have Bob’s biggest loser boot camp video and it is totally a kick in the ass. I downloaded it from Amazon. Hey, kudos to you for getting the 2.5 done under adverse conditions.
