63 Days to 5k

Workout: 30 Day Shred - Level 1, Day 1

I don't know about about you guys but we woke up to a ridiculous amount of new snow this morning. One look at that and decided that it might not be the best day to start running in my neighborhood. Will I let that stop me? Nope! I popped in the 30DS DVD and completed Level 1, Day 1. I knew it was going to be hard but I was amazed after I realized that I actually finished it! When I started last year, I had to stop several times to catch my breath.

Huge shout out to my husband for putting up with my crazy antics of just up and deciding to run a 5k in a couple of months. And he even decided to start doing p90x to get fit together. Props to him for going above and beyond. <3

Oh, and I tried drinking Pedialyte (technically, it was this mango flavored off brand pediatric electrolyte drink) as suggested for electrolytes and rehydration. I was told that it does the same job as Gatorade but with fewer calories. Whoooooweeeee. The after taste was quite mango-y and yummy but when I first tasted it, it was pretty salty. Not something I enjoyed while feeling quite thirsty after working out. I'm not sure if it was the brand or the flavor but if that is what I should expect with all of them, I'll be looking for something else. Until then, I'm sure water will be just fine.
