Well my 5k is coming up in just over three weeks!! AHHHHH is all I have to say. I know I will have fun doing it because so many of my friends are, but I also know I will not be able to run the whole thing. I am just so in awe of people that can run! I just can't seem to do it! Although on Sunday my first workout in over a week since being on vacation, I ran .75 miles which is the farthest I have ever ran! So to me it is a victory but to most people it is nothing! I ran it at 5.5 on the treadmill and it took me just over 8 minutes. I was proud of myself but also felt so winded! I swear, I can walk up hill all day long but running just kicks the crap out of me!
I am headed back to the gym today to do cardio on my own since DH is still out of town so I couldn't go to my 6am class. I will either do the workout my class did this morning if i can find my trainer to print it for me or I will do one on my own and maybe try to run as far as I can. Although I am still sore from Monday's workout. i went to the 7pm class on monday night (again since DH was out of town i had to miss my normal class) and we did the strength circuit. It is a different trainer and a smaller class than mine and all i have to say is this trainer kicked my butt!! She did the intervals a little different and was much better and coming around and correcting our form etc(i am sure it helped that here were only 4 of us and in my class we normally have about 8 or so) I also pushed myself to increase the weights on some of the machines. It felt really good and it will be interesting to see if my normal trainer has changed it up at all since I have been gone. I haven't been to my normal class in over 2 week!!! We only have 3 1/2 more weeks to go and I am so sad! I love the structure and the accountablility of being in the class and I know I will not be able to take it again because it is so expensive. I will see how diciplined I am to try to keep up the workouts on my own...it is SOOO much harder on my own! I haven't decided if I will stick with the early mornings or go back to going in the afternoons after work Wed/Fri and i will go Monday mornings with Izzy. We'll see. I do like the early mornings because it is out of the way early but getting up is hard....we'll see....
Gettin up at 5am is going to be REALLY hard on Friday morning. I could barely pull my butt out of bed at 7ish the last 2 mornings!

I have the complete opposite problem. I can run, I just can't seem to do much with strength training. And I prefer to run over lifting weights. I attempted to go to the gym last night to do a quick circuit training, and everything had to be set on the lowest weight and I thought I was going to die! My arms flap in the wind like an old lady's too :)
