Today I say goodbye to Workout 2. So nice that we get to switch it up every two weeks. I'm definitely looking forward to something new next week.
Speaking of new, there's a new girl at work. Yesterday I invited her to run with me during our lunch break so I could get to know her. Turns out she's a competitive long distance runner. She'd worked out with her coach the night before and did a 7 mile "shakeout" easy run that morning. We ran 5.5 miles at an 8:10 pace and she obviously could have gone much faster. My lungs were burning the whole time. I kept asking her questions so that she could talk and I could concentrate on just inhaling and exhaling. What a workout!
The big news for me is that I have a visible ab muscle! I have to suck in a certain way and twist a certain direction, but it's definitely there. This is a huge deal for me as flat abs are my holy grail for this 90 days. I've always assumed I was genetically predisposed to belly fat and it wasn't in the cards. Maybe it was just beer and bread after all that was covering me up. Doy.
Woah, I'm seriously impressed with that run...I can't do an 8:10 pace for ONE mile, let alone 5.5!!! And way to go on the ab, I'm sure they'll be shining through big time by the end :-)
