day 2 of 30

Alright, so last night after Christopher went down (to bed), I pushed PLAY and did my first workout of the 30 Day Shred. As you all probably know or as mentioned yesterday, it's a circuit workout, so it's pretty much just go, go, go! Boy was it tough. I mean, I'm usually pretty good w/ these workout videos, just cuz I have like a whole bunch of them (crazy huh?!) But yes, Jillian really doesn't let you stop. I mean, you're constantly moving from one move to the next. I really enjoyed it actually. I like the fact that all the routines are easy to do.. I mean, routines that I've done in the past before. I like how the cardio portion really lets me rest (especially after an intense strength routine/s). Overall, it wasn't so bad. Of course, I started on level 1, so yes. We'll see how level 2 and 3 are like... maybe I'll do those sometime later this week or early next week. I guess for now I'll stick to level 1 just a bit longer (a few days) and see how I do. If it gets a bit boring or if I think I should move on to the next level, I probably will. Anyway, I still haven't done today's session yet... will probably do that tonight. Oh, I have a run schedule for today after work. Getting off early to take Laura to soccer practice. Utilizing that hour slot for my run. I was going to do a 5-mile run, but I think I'll just stick to the shorter 3.8-mile one instead. I'm not sure how much time I'll have... considering I'll arrive at practice a bit later than usual so I won't really have a whole 80 minutes or so.. etc. Stay tune. :)
