round two: days 1-4

so, i was asked if i wanted to complete the MOVEment X 100 days challenge again. and i said yes. i had been thinking about doing the challenge again anyways and considering i had never felt more active or more passionate about physical activity when i was on the challenge...why wouldn't i want to do it again?

i am now thinking of ways to make this time different from my first time. i am contemplating trying more activities (because there will always be so many new things to try and tell you about!), engaging more people in my journey, and perhaps having a larger goal to work towards in the end, like a new and challenging trail run that i can be training for at the same time!

this was my first week:

07.04.11: day 1
am: 30 min five finger jog around Beacon Hill Park.
pm: upper body strength workout at the Y with a friend.
       exercises:
  • warm up
  • bench press
  • seated row
  • barbell shoulder press
  • assisted pull ups
  • dumbbell side and front shoulder raises
  • cable bicep curls
  • cable tricep press
  • stretching


08.04.11: day 2
pm: lower body strength work out at the Y.
      exercises:
  • warm up
  • barbell back squats
  • barbell dead lifts
  • barbell lunges
  • back extensions
  • oblique crunches
  • ball crunches
  • stretching

09.04.11: day 3
a gentle walk along the waterfront.

10.04.11: day 4
am: road run, 1 hr 10min. sore and tired but i'm happy to be working on longer distances again.

scrambled thoughts:
how will i make this more challenging for myself?
how will i continue to make this interesting for people to read about?
what if i can't complete it this time?
what new exciting event(s) can i train for this summer?
how can i inspire people?

do you have any ideas....?
this is just for you to enjoy...and get you thinking, dreaming, exploring...
