Semi Private training

As part of my winning the Y's Slim Down. My team won semi private training.

We've been meeting with our trainer 2 times a week for the past couple of weeks.

Today we got to BOX!

it was so tiring ~
it was so physical ~
but it was so much FUN!

Says it all....


Prairie Punisher 5k

This morning G and I were up and out the door by 5:45am.


Our Prairie Punisher 5k started at 7am.


Our before race picture .....
AFTER ...


G did his 5k in 37.02
Me in 40.35 minute



This Race is really a Dualthon. That's the main draw for people who do Triathlons.
A Dualthon is running a 5k, biking 21 miles and then running a 5k again!
Crazy people! Fun to watch but Crazy all the same!

and SHE TAKES IT ALL!



Lost 13 pounds and 7 inches in 6 weeks!

No pills, no drinks, just by the sweat of my brow!

Y Slim Down 2011

I've signed up to do the Y's 2011 Slim Down.



It's been 2 weeks.



I started at 190.



First week's weigh in I had dropped 5 pounds to a fabulous 185!



Second week's weigh in I dropped another 3 pounds for an Awesome 182!



and I fit into my last year Capri pants! yay me!



I always do 60 minutes of cardio.....

but then have a Physical trainer session one day

Do the weight machines 2 days.



I've made the goal to run/walk/jog a 5k

every month from now until November

(I couldn't find one in December)

After a couple of months I'll switch to 10k

Update

Well, I didn't make my 1/2 marathon goal, as a matter of fact I didn't even make the 5k goal either!

I had to have shoulder surgery late January. The doctor knew of my goal and promised me that I'd be fine in a week or two! Well, obviously this doctor hadn't ever had a frozen shoulder, hadn't been my age and didn't know the recovery time.

I tried to see what I could do March 1st and that wasn't good!

I had a good 3 months of therapy on my shoulder and didn't start exercise again steady until June 1st!
