50 Laps, Seriously??? What did I do???

I am SO glad that I ran the 5K on Saturday - if for no other reason than it counted for 19 of the 50 laps I took on this week as punishment for not doing my goal!  So, I have 31 laps left! Well, not quite - I did 5 laps on Monday night - so now I have 26 laps left than I'm apparently going to do all on Wednesday...

I wasn't going to exercise with the team tonight because I was going to help out a friend - but that ended up not happening.  My original thought: I have an out because the team knows I'm going to be helping that friend.  My next thought: I don't want to sit at the house when I could benefit from a workout with Tyler!! We are a little under 1/2 way through the program! I paid for this!! So I came home, ate a small snack and headed to the gym!!  But I didn't eat a lot today - lots of stuff to get done at school - so I didn't stay past the workout to work on laps - I headed home to eat dinner! (And I had salmon and 3 cups of mixed salad greens with a vinaigrette :) )

So, tomorrow... 26 laps... OR Wednesday AND Thursday - but I'm going to try and do them all Wednesday because I don't want to leave them until Thursday and have something happen! I can't get to the gym until 5 on Thursday, so I was planning on doing 30 minutes of cardio before the weigh-in.

Last night at Tyler's workout, we stayed on the treadmills the whole time (except I did the elliptical) - the team did a steady incline of 15 for 50 minutes (I did zero incline because of my back and did 15 resistance) and then we each had 10 minutes of weights with Tyler.  It doesn't sound like much, but it was a hard and great workout! I had my 10 minutes first, so the remaining 50 minutes was pounding it out on the elliptical.  During those 10 minutes, I really pushed myself... I don't remember any of the names of the machines - but I did more pounds on those machines than I think I've ever done - hard, but worth it!!  

Before the workout, I did the 30 minute cardio workout on the elliptical and then did my 5 laps on the track and then back down for the hour-long class! It was great!! So I was working out for 1 hour and 45 minutes!! :) GREAT Monday workout!! :)
