Yeah, that's not a typo!! I managed to run 5 miles within a 24 hour period said the girl who ran her first mile ever less than 6 months ago. I think I've managed about 12 miles total (in my life) so it's not like it took me 6 months to do this.
I was all gung-ho to become a runner until MFP forum said that less cardio, more strength to burn fat. While I'm exponentially stronger since I started training with a trainer 6 months ago, I still can't loose the last 10 lbs even though I went down to a size 8. So I decided the other day to purchase (after being fitted, having my form recorded and analyzed) running shoes!! I purchased a pair of Brook's Adrenaline GTS 14's. They're pink, neon orange, silver, grayish in color, size 7. My feet have shrunk but a 7 fit, especially since feet swell when you run!!!
So the other day I ran 2 miles. Bought shoes, and did another 2 miles! The next day (Wednesday April 2), I met with my trainer and he destroyed my legs!! Good circuit stuff but I was able to do 90 lbs on the seated bench thing where you're sorta laying down? Not the sitted one. The bar itself is over 100 he said. So later that day, I ran 1.3 miles but was pooped!!!! Exhausted after my trainer killed me, and then tired from the previous 4 miles.
Today I had to take a break even from Zumba 'cause my hamstrings? The back part of your thigh, are sore! Also with those yellow suspension string/handle ropes? I had to put my feet in them, get into full body push-up (not a girl one) and then bring my legs to my chest while maintaining my push-up upper body stance. Today, for the first time in my life, I realize I have ab muscles- never felt them before!!
Tomorrow I'm doing upper body only strength training and hopefully a 2 mile run. My goal is to be a size 6 on bottom and small on top. I can fit into some small tops but my boobs bust out in most and I still have arm chub...
