This morning I did week 1 mission 1 I very much enjoyed it however the 10 minute free run was brutal, I was only able to maybe run 4 minutes of it (and those were not consecutive LOL) I thought I would do better expecially since the 15 second drills seemed WAY too easy, I was thinking I would breeze through the free run,...NOPE lol but I guess thats ok to. Oh and for anyone who is wondering I wore my blue disney pajama pants ;)

    I was cursing through the 6th 15sec drill, mentally because I didn't have the breath, and the first time I did the free walk/run I walked it all trying to get my breath back, second and third time it was easier and I was able to actually do some additional 15sec jogs during free time. So far I've been wearing jeans and a tshirt and jogging around the docking/parking area at lunch. I dunno what wearing disney pj's would do. :D

    Awesome PJ wearers unite! I rocked my Mario ones last night ;D

    That's how I felt when I started, too. I was like "Oh hell this is easy, I can do this" then the free run I thought I could just do all of. No. False. Wrong. lol.

    I also would like grown up pants however I have decided that since I always drop a bunch of money on things I never follow through with that I will not spend any more money on running/fitness/mini trampolies/ etc untill I can run at least those damn 10 minutes straight through. So I may just be in my jammies for awhile yet LOL . Let me know when you get your grown up pants :) ANd I must say OMFG 104 pounds lost Damn you are a machine and an inspiration!!!!!!

    Hahah, maybe that's a wise choice. I do that, too. I'm on week 4 and am just now like "Ehh, yeah...running stuff, I can find that in the budget.."

    I'm determined to find grown up pants that are still neat and give me the same magic running power that my pajamas do. I will surely find a picture and post it right here when I do, lol XD

    Oh my gosh, thank you!! :D
