Two-a-Day

Okay....not REALLY...but I this week I have been hitting it back up with my Insanity workouts, and yes it is appropriately named. Here is a bit of history first: I ran in the Las Vegas Rock and Roll Marathon on 05DEC2010 which was followed by Fitness Week at my unit where I had a couple of decent workouts, including a good spin class at 24Hour Fitness. That last event was mid-December and I havent done a thing since. What I have been doing was eating! And I felt like lost a lot of ground.
Then the Hammer Sponsorship came through and this week I have had to get back the motiviation to workout. So...I committed to running the Angel Half Marathon this weekend and threw down on Insanity. The funny thing is, I talked with my coach I knew he was scheduling me for runs, but the never populated in Training Peaks. Hence the Insanity. I actually was getting worries about him and after a quick email to ask if he was okay, we linked up, got back in tune, and I found out he accidently posted the runs on the wrong week. So....having said all of that, I have two day this week where I am doing an Insanity plus a run. And trust me he is not going light on me. Its like....."oh you decided to eat all of December huh? Well, lets see what all those caliroes did for you, shall we?"
So...this week consisted of the following: Monday: Plyometrics. Tuesday: Cardio Power and Resistance. Wednesday: Cardio Recovery (which really isn't) plus a four mile run @ 8:00min/mile pace. Today: Pure Cardio and later a 6miler @ 8:00.
The end result: Yup! You guessed it. I hurt. In the end though, I have three races this month, followed by three next month, school, and work that will be closing up in three months time. Finally, I am looking at my first 50 happening on 07April. Should be a very busy three months.
