Ragamuffin Top Week 3
February 15 – February 21 2009:
Sunday: Rested
Monday: Ran 2 miles in about 20 minutes
Tuesday: Ran 2 miles 20 min 54 sec
Wednesday: Ran 3 miles in 31 min 29 sec
Thursday: Rested
Friday: 3 miles in 28 min 19 sec! Woohoo!
Saturday: 0.5 miles in 4 min 59 sec
As you can see, this week went pretty well; however, I didn’t keep up with the Cardio Max and Powersculpt DVDs. It’s been hard enough keeping up with just the running, let alone the DVDs, so I might just do the DVDs 2-3 times a week.
Also, here’s my progress report on Nike+.

P.S. I didn’t have lots of time this week, so I don’t have a video. Though I just bought a Nike+, so I will be able to track my runs! This most definitely makes my heart happy.

Raggamuffin Top Challenge
Over Christmas break, I have seriously gotten out of shape. Now that February is almost here, I’m completely up for a new challenge. I’ve been reading Ragamuffin Soul for a while now and decided this could be a fun thing to participate in. Here are the rules:
1. You must have a measurable goal.
2. You must place a photo or video on your blog each weekend and give us the scoop on how you did.
3. You must link back here so that the readers of your blog get to see how the rest of us are failing or succeeding.
4. You fill out the linky thing below and then people can get to your blog from my front page and we can cheer each other on.

These pants may look fine, but let me tell you… they are way too tight to wear all day. I’m a BIG fan of comfy clothes, hence why I usually wear stretchy pants and NOT jeans. So I’d like to fit comfortably in these again. Along with this goal, I want to be able to race a half marathon by the end of spring. The rest is measurable. 4 miles of running and 2 miles of swimming. I also want to continue the Biggest Loser 6 week program–cardio four times a week and the power sculpt three times a week. Ragamuffin Top Challenge, here I come!
