Hi, Folks:

Like a dope, I left my cell phone in my car, which is parked 2 miles from my office; therefore, I am unable to post today's workout. I have asked Dave to step in, but anyone who would like to post it on this thread is more than welcome!

Thanks for the help!

Dee

    Just finished W5 D1! It's so far my favorite! I thought it was going to kill me but it was awesome. I felt like it went by a lot faster than the others.

    That's great! And you are giving me hope that I can get through it. :) Tomorrow is my zumba day, so I will start wk5 on Thursday.

    Just for the record, I HATED W5, D1...and, I am sure I will hate D2, too. :)

    Got through w5 d1 this morning, and loved it too @determined24girl ! I felt great- I thought I might be too sore from yesterday's zumba (she had us doing a LOT of squats!) but I was okay. I was even able to focus on my form for each 5 min run. I'm actually looking forward to d2. :)

    I think I liked it more than w4 because of the longer rests between every run. W4 was hard because the shorter run had a shorter recovery before you jumped into the 5 min run.

    @DeeDiddyGee maybe by d2 or 3 it will get easier? I did w4 5 times, because the first 2 were so difficult that I couldn't get through the last 5 min, so I wasn't ready to move on.
