Running has been the excuse..

At work the other day someone asked me when my next run is.  A large part of me does miss running, races and getting medals. It has been officially over a year since I really ran.  Looking back it seems like the Tinker Bell Half Marathon was just a few months ago, certainly not 15 months ago.  I have not had any real activity since then. No wonder my feet ache after I am on them for to long, my body hurts after a day of cleaning the house or grocery shopping.  My first thought is I need to start running again.  Remember when I told you about the new Beach Body program I got 3 almost 4 months ago called the 21 Day Fix.  I have yet to start it but randomly I have found out several people I am surrounded by have done the 21 Day fix in the last few months, with great success. One of them in 2 rounds(42 days) of the 21 day fix lost 22 lbs and 20 inches!!!  I tell myself I really need to give this a try. Yes it is more restrictive than WW but you know what, I probably need that right now. This program requires you to work out 7 days a week with the work out DVD's the provided with the package.  7 DAYS A WEEK!?!?!  I can't even stick to the C25K lately how on earth am I going to work out 7 DAYS A WEEK?!?!?!  I think surly I must be able to skip the work outs if I do my C25K training. I am sure I must be able to count those as my work out those days.  I contacted my Beach Body Coach and found out I am very wrong.  I am welcome to do that on top of my work outs I still must do my other work outs. Well WTFrick?!?!  I don't want to work out even more!  I started searching online certain I read somewhere that you can substitute your runs for work outs. Even people training for a marathon didn't!  Well Crap!! I then tell myself well if I can't run maybe I shouldn't do this program.  Running had officially become my excuse for not using this program for the last month or so.

Well I've decided it is time to give this the full 21 days. I know so many people that have had success with this and it still has all the positive. And in perfect timing there is a new challenge diet bet group through beach body that starts on 9/5. Lots of prep work in the next couple days.
