Week 2 is officially over for Ripped in 30. I am officially half way done. Week 3 starts tomorrow and I am actually looking forward to it. As I'm watching it I know that it's going to be hard work, but isn't that the point? I think that it was a good idea to take measurements yesterday because I was getting frustrated since I couldn't really see anything changing. I know I need to give it time, but it's difficult to want to see results and not see anything. Seeing those numbers start to go down gave me a second wind to (hopefully) finish the DVD strong over the next two weeks.
 
Today also marks two weeks down for my running streak. I can't believe I'm already down 14 days. I'm glad that I decided to retry my streak and that I am allowing myself to use intervals. Making it so that I only have to do one mile puts less pressure on myself and allows my body to recover even though I'm still going out. One mile daily is doable even though I prefer to do more on most days. Plus I find that once I'm out there I want to keep going.
 
Our training run was a four mile scheduled run. We decided to up our intervals from 30:1 to 45:1. We ended up doing intervals for 4.3 miles and then walked another 0.55 miles. It felt great and I'm glad that Rachel and I were able to get together for a run. I know next week we probably won't be able to run together since I'm doing 9 of the 12 miles at the race, so it's nice when we are able to get together.
