It's Almost a Wrap!

This morning we enjoyed the last pancake breakfast of the year!  The Captain outdid himself this morning, and while we ate, we came to the conclusion that we should move our pancake breakfasts from Saturday mornings to Sunday morning while we are training for our May half marathon.  Our long runs are scheduled for Saturdays and we will be experimenting with different breakfasts before we run them.

Then I did a Last Chance workout!  And it was... literally... I did the Jillian Michael's DVD by that same name - the 5 minute warmup, the 25 minute cardio/weight intervals, and the 5 minute cool/stretch.  It is a workout I cannot quite complete so a good one for me to have in my rotation; something to work toward.



So my weekly recap looks like this:

Sunday/Christmas Day:

• rest and relax - nil

Monday/Boxing Day:

• Biggest Loser 2 warm 5 minutes
• Biggest Loser 2 functional fitness 10 minutes
• Biggest Loser 2 bootcamp 15 minutes
• Biggest Loser 2 women's sculpt 10 minutes

at this point I realized there was something really wrong in my lower back

Tuesday:

• rest and recover - nil

Wednesday:

• walk 1.25 miles

Thursday:

• walk 2 miles

Friday:

• walk 2 miles

Saturday:

• Last Chance warmup 5 minutes
• Last Chance workout 25 minutes
• Last Chance cool/stretch 5 minutes

All in all an okay week, especially since my back is getting better by the day!  My sister in law had something very similar happen to her a few weeks ago and she thinks it must be a virus.

My December Results:

• ran a total of 33.67 km
• did 2 or more strength workouts each week fairly consistently
• actively participated in 2 challenges and one virtual 5 km race

 2011 in Review:

• according to my Daily Mile calculations, I ran a total of 427.52 km for a total of 55 hours and 49 minutes
• I was unable to workout/run for a total of 12 weeks during this year due to 3 eye surgeries

So...

I am about to print our race bibs for the January 1st, 2012 Virtual Resolution Run being put on by Amanda - and end this post by wishing you  a very

Happy, Healthy, Fit and Fun 2012 !

See you next year
