So, while teaching Roxy what a leash means, (she tries to walk herself, it's hilarious - and she has to be on a leash cuz she needs to learn some running commands such as "heel." Tucker is so dang good with it that he doesn't need a leash, but little Roxy... sorry babe!), and trying to make the run fun, I decided that I should be trying to get faster at running.
I never really had a goal of being faster, until I started doing more exercise, and running the races. Now that I run races, you get your time at the end, and I'm always looking to beat it. So towards the end, I started timing and racing myself and I did 51 seconds at a 6 min and 45 sec pace (.13 miles). Tomorrow, I'd like to try doing 55 seconds at a 6:47 average min/mile pace or less. We'll see how I do! :)
So that's my other new thing - doing insanity and sprints in the morning, doing biking and arms at night. Love it!
I've also been thinking a lot about what to do after insanity. People have asked me if I am just gonna keep doing work-out programs. I think it's important that your body learns different things. I can tell that I was just plateauing on P90X cuz my body was so dang used to it. So I know that the body needs variety. And work-out programs give me an ending goal. And if I don't lose the ten lbs I want to lose in insanity, then maybe I'll have to grab another work-out. We'll see. The plan now though is to lose the ten lbs, then start a daily running, biking, swimming work out. It will be winter and we will need our gym passes for the swimming, and since our tri is next July - good time to start learning. Especially because I've NEVER had formal swimming lessons and Eric has a lot to teach me.
Anyway, that's the plan Stan!
