Accio Abs!

Good evening everyone! I am alive! I survived my marathon! I ended up only taking two days off from exercise. I am doing this new training plan from Kaged Muscle that is going to focus on fat loss.

This first week I did modified since I took recovery rest days on Monday and Tuesday and OrangeTheory had Hell Week! Week 2 will definitely follow the plan more.

Monday 10/21/19: Rest Tuesday 10/22/19: Rest Wednesday 10/23/19: Glutes and Hamstrings and Cardio 4 Sets, 15 Reps: Lying leg curl Banded Hip Thrusts Elevated Hip Thrusts Sumo Smith Squats Single Leg Press Wide Leg Press Adductors Abductors Cardio: 3 Mile Run Thursday 10/24/19: Back and Biceps and Abs 4 Sets, 15 Reps: Wide Lat Pull Down Assist Pull Ups Demigrip Pulldown Seated Rows Lying Dubb

I started to doubt whether or not I could actually run it. I knew I could ruin my run before it even started so I took a step back and deep breath and let it all go. Let go of all of my doubts and worries. Let go of worrying about time (well tried to). Signing up for this and even doing it whether it takes me over 4 hours, whether I walk or not, just participating is a huge milestone and accomplishment in itself. It is something to be proud of. I held onto that all week. My co-workers got me a card and made me this to wear on race day out of shrinkable paper! I was so touched! My twin sister bought me this key chain. I ran with them b
