    I've got a little contest going with some of my friends to lose 10 pounds this month so doing this 5 will help me with that as well! I need the encouragement! :)

    Just for fun: What new fitness exercise or event are you going to do this month? I just started with a trainer so I have a whole set of things to do but I'm going to either do a 5k the end of the month or a zumba class.

    Just for fun: I was going to add burpees but I'm so busy that I'm super tired and can't get around to it. SO I'm just going to make sure I'm running 3 times a week and biking at least once a week. Did that last weekend and it was long and tortuous but a lot of fun!

    I'm going to start back with my C25k training. There is a fundraiser race at the school of nursing that I graduated from that I'd like to participate in on 4/6, and then the school's alumni race is 4/20. I'd also going to try and start doing more weights and strength based activities. I am ok with cardio but want to be building muscle too and I like the good burn I feel in the days after a good session.
