Howdy! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was superb. Brad and I finally got to see the Frida exhibit at the AGO and then we went for fish and chips. On Sunday we slept in but got promptly to our chores. I’m so happy to report that we have clean laundry and a fridge full of groceries 
I’m so ready to start this week. Ssshhhhh I have a secret to tell you. Although I wasn’t supposed to start working out until today, I had a bit of a sweat session yesterday. Me and my Nike Frees tried out the new Brooke Burke workout DVD.
Now that I’ve got that workout in the bag I’m ready to official start:
Go The Distance – Week 2!!!!!!
(feel free to grab this if you’re blogging about / participating in Go The Distance)
Let me give you the reader’s digest of the video. One of the things I mentioned was that I’m joining the running group at school. I’m apprehensive about this because I never think of myself as a runner and I’ve got my joint problems and let’s face it, a billion other excuses. But it’s just 5k, and we’re building up to it slowly. The first week we’re probably only doing a couple laps.
Next – the week 2 PRIZES!!!! I’m honestly so excited to share these two amazing prize packs with you.

This week my cardio/going the distance goals are: 10km total of running and 35 minutes of treadmill intervals.
Woo! I had to seriously scale back my goals from last week because of tight and sore calves. I took the week to take care of myself and this week I’m back in action because it’s do or die time – my Tinker Bell Half Marathon is this Sunday!
That said, my goal is 21+ kms of running and an hour or two of yoga.
Oh, and here’s my tweet! http://bit.ly/X7SfTZ
Assuming the gym schedule I have is correct this week (unlike last week… doh!) I’ll be running 3x (about 10km total), swimming 2x (about 1.5km total) and spinning 1x (30-60 min depending on when I can sneak off to class).
And hold the phone…simply protein CHIPS?! Yum!!
I forgot to leave my goal for week 1 but my schedule is pretty much the same every week so it’s safe to assume I met my goal
Week 2 Goal:
HIIT Run Treadmill: 4x 45min
Stepmill: 2x 20min
Treadmill: 2x 20min (running)
Attend 5 60 min cardio classes this week (body step, combat, kickboxing)
