Ran 45 minutes straight last night (5.08miles). This was an amazing accomplishment for me considering on Friday it will be exactly 5 months since I was allowed to return to fitness and that first work out 20ish weeks ago I couldn't even run 10 minutes straight or a mile without stopping.
I am at 20 miles for the month, so only half way there on my goal of 40! 10 days to go so I need to average about 2 miles a day! I've got this :)
How have I been doing on my other goals?:
(OCTOBER’S FITNESS GOALS:
Work out at least 3x per week
Run 40 miles in the month of October (did approx. 28 in September)
At least 1 race (ran in 3 in September!)
Score a 230+ on my PT test next week
Work on Push-ups/upper body strength (definitely was my weak link at the Spartan Race)
Well, I have been meeting my goal of working out at least 3x per week, I scored over a 230 on my PT test (242), and I have been working quite a bit on my upper body strength and my push-ups. The only goal I have not gotten close to is running a race this month... considering this weekend is the last weekend in October I should probably get on that and start searching on Active.com for a local race lol
OH! An amazing confidence booster:
So, last night at the gym a man stopped me on my way to the locker room and asked me
Guy at Gym: "Aren't you the lady that used to be in here all the time with her husband?" Me: "Yea that's me." (my husband and I, prebabies, used to practically live at the gym) Guy at Gym: "Weren't you pregnant not that long ago?" Me: (I was honestly surprised anyone noticed at the gym, I was only allowed to work out until I was about 18-20weeks. Granted I was showing quite a bit by then already), but I answered again "Yes, that was me. I actually had twins about 8 months ago." Guy at Gym doing a quick once over: "I thought that was you! Whatever you are doing you should keep it up! You look good for just having twins!"
What an amazing feeling to have someone recognize how much hard work I've had to put in to get to where I am already :)
So, since I am feeling confident(ish), here is how my belly is looking!
Getting there :)
