W2D3: Focus

In lieu of cardio kickboxing tonight, I went for the Week 2 Day 3 run, did Windsor Pilates and 10 push-ups.  My personal trainer sent me a text message to say that he and his wife were stuck in Boston due to inclement weather, so I got the wish that I made earlier today.  I didn't want to go to a personal training session today.

The run itself was challenging.  I don't think I've quite adjusted to the longer running time yet.  My body is panting by the end of the 90 seconds, but the cool-down (2-minute walking) is the perfect recovery time.  I hope I still think that in Week 3.

I used to go to an hour-long Pilates class twice a week when I was a member at Gold's Gym and Sam still lived in Raleigh.  I noticed a significant improvement in my posture and how well my clothes fit at the time and have thought recently that I need to do Pilates again.  My Windsor Pilates video is only 20 minutes, but I could definitely feel the work by the time I was done.  My core has gotten so weak over the last year that I couldn't even hold the positions like I used to.  Ah well.  It'll come back...eventually.

I just need to remember to keep my goal in mind to stay focused.  Summer time.  :)
