  • Insanity Fit Test for 35-ish minutes - hard workout!

I got a laptop for Christmas!  Funny thing is I gave one to James, too, without knowing his plans so now we will ALWAYS have a laptop around, yay!  Heaven forbid we have to walk downstairs to our desktop!

So my goals have changed a little and will be this way until I can work less night shifts.  Not what I prefer, but I know I will have many many years of running to my heart's content and will never have these baby years again...so I am enjoying them as much as I can and will run more later. :)  I need the mornings before Hailey wakes up and the naptimes to make up sleep since I work through the night 3 times a week and get up with her (if needed) the other 4.  What I have found works best is to do some kind of video on our main floor where she can watch me and practice her mobility skills and play with her toys (or "exercise" in her jumperoo...she loves to think she is copying me, it's so cute).  And I'll throw in some treadmill runs or outside runs when I can (the treadmill is in our office so it's pretty cramped...not enough room for toys and rolling around while still being a safe distance away from the treadmill). 

My goal is to work on my 5K time.  My best is 23:37 (2010) when I was in much better shape.  Well I'm already at 24:59 on the treadmill so I have high hopes.  It's kind of fun working towards beating a PR!  It makes me feel like I'm still in the game a little. :)  Can't wait to get it close to 20:00 and then get sub 20:00! 

Anyway, the cool thing is I just started doing the Insanity DVD's and it's a hard workout!  I'll blog more from now on even if it's just the Insanity workout so you can see my awesome progress LOL. :)   

Hope you are all enjoying the holidays and happy running to you!
