. . . makes for a very uncomfortable run. \u00a0Yuck. \u00a0It was like a solid mass<\/strong> in my lower abdomen. \u00a0No, it wasn’t from breakfast, it was from the movie last night! \u00a0So sick. \u00a0As much as it tasted like heaven last night, this morning, it was a bad choice . . . “milk was a bad choice.” \u00a0A bad choice and about 8000<\/strong> calories<\/strong>! \u00a0Not really that many, but too many for sure!<\/p>\n

I woke up super early this morning (5:45), so excited to be on holidays that I couldn’t sleep in! \u00a0 So, what did I do? \u00a0Researched and read my favourite blogs of course . . . while enjoying a cup of coffee<\/strong>. \u00a0It was really unfortunate my coffee tin was empty this morning and the coffee I was enjoying was yesterday’s warmed up in the microwave<\/strong>. \u00a0Gross, yet happiness made it delicious . . . it also might have been the French Vanilla Splenda<\/strong> that I added.<\/p>\n

After I had had enough (cut myself off) I decided that my holiday resolution had to start today! \u00a0RUN. WEIGHTS. Run. Weights. run. \u00a0weights.<\/strong> I managed to succeed on day one! \u00a0One run down, 17 to go. \u00a0Uhhhhh….mmmmmight have to look into that again.<\/p>\n

I’m still on the basic run program from 2 weeks ago . . . I have been having such a difficult time getting a run in when work has been going full tilt and I’m continuing to spin up a storm. Excuses, excuses<\/strong> . . . I have none now.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I managed to do this morning . . . with my favourite spin routine pumping through my ears.<\/p>\n

Minutes<\/strong> 0-5 Warm up<\/strong> at Speed<\/strong> 4.o \u00a0(I busted out to Waka Waka <\/strong>by Shakira\u00a0. . . almost sang out loud I was so into it . . . and no one else was in the gym!)<\/p>\n

Min 5 – \u00a0Speed 5.0 – pick that pace up to a steady light jog<\/p>\n

6 – 5.3<\/p>\n

7 – 5.6<\/p>\n

8 – 6.0<\/p>\n

9 – 6.5<\/p>\n

10 – 5.0<\/p>\n

Repeat 4 more times until 25 minutes, then pick a steady speed (I did 5.8) to maintain until minute 30.<\/p>\n

Enjoy grooving on the treadmill. \u00a0Careful not to fall off! \u00a0I’ve seen that happen. \u00a0Ouch . . . mostly\u00a0hilarious<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
