Today's long run was uneventful. I decided to run 45:1 intervals in order to give my foot a bit of a break. I felt a little tight and could feel just a slight pain in my foot around mile 2, but nothing too bad. I feel like I really hit my stride around mile 2.5 and was maintaining a relatively decent pace. I was trying to stay on the slower side, and probably would have been fine going just a little slower, but I have a tendency to get going and also get into going faster each mile.

I highly doubt that I will complete the whole week to perfection. I'm not setting myself up for failure. At least I don't see it that way. Instead I look at it as an intense challenge to keep myself going with this habit of working out almost every day.
This week is going to be busy and is sort of a base to see what I can do. If I find that I can't maintain this then I will cut back. I want to mix things up, which is why I have multiple DVDs going. The arm DVD is only about 10 minutes and I do that after my afternoon run at work. The abs, 30 Day Shred and buns/thighs are replacing Ripped in 30.
I'm also adding two days at the gym. I'm paying for it so I should be going, right? I've been going in early to work because it's necessary in order to get my job done. I'm used to getting up early, so if I get up just an hour earlier two days a week I can get in 30 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes on the elliptical and 5 minutes on the stair stepper.
I am so ready for the "after" body that I am willing and focused on putting in the work for that.
With that being said, this weeks eating has taken a turn for the worse. I've ended more days in the red than I would like, but I tracked. I tracked it all. That's such a huge accomplishment for me that I don't even care about this past week. Not just because I'm tracking it, but more importantly because there is nothing I can do about it now. I made choices, I am ready for this coming week where I can make better choices. New week = new chances to prove to myself that I can do it.
