Halfway thru Phase 1

I'm kind-of doing my own thing. Running is my main exercise, and I use these workouts for some strength training on the side. I've rotated through the program 3 times now. I don't do them according to schedule--usually I average 2-3x/week instead of 4, and I use running instead of the cardio workouts. I really like them, though--I've seen big changes in my strength and conditioning since I've added them.0

Finished Workout 5 & 6 this week - I spread these out over 3 weeks instead of 2 because I hurt my shoulder trying to do more than I am quite able to do just yet (did the same thing working through level 3 of 30 Day Shred so I should have known better). Mentally I was feeling tapped out. I didn't want to stop completely so I just did 2 workouts each week, plus cardio, to spread it out and give my shoulders a rest.
Workout 6 was challenging but not too bad. Workout 5 was flipping tough, at least for me. I do notice I'm getting stronger week by week. I'm also starting to see muscle definition in my arms for the first time....ever. In my family the ladies tend to have upper arms shaped like turkey drumsticks, even if small/medium everywhere else.
Bring on workouts 7 & 8....
I'll be finishing 5&6 this weekend, and also hurt myself a bit. I really strained my hip/groin doing those sumo squats. They felt fine at the time but hurt later on. Ouch! So I'm passing on those but still loving this system. We'll see what's in store with 7 & 8. Yikes!0
