    Today is my Day # 1:

    1) What I did for exercise - I walked 1.1 miles to and from work, and just now performed 100 squats for "Challenge Group (New Members Welcome!!!) 5/23-5/29" plus performed 50 push ups.

    2) Duration - total of about 40 minutes

    3) Calories burned - Unknown

    4) How I felt - I am happy that I could do 50 *real* push ups (I have a much harder time banging them out when I am doing them during my Insanity workouts, I think because I am so gassed and winded then). I am also surprised (and pleased) at how much I was sweating just from doing the 100 squats and 50 push ups (I did 20 squats, then 10 push ups, then 20 squats, then 10 push ups, and so on).

    DAY #2

    1) What you did for exercise: weights/ 3 mile run
    i ran for 3 miles and then did a back workout
    i know you're supposed to lift before you run, but today i did my run first because i didn't want to be too tired to run after lifting
    i did deadlifts working up to a set of 3 reps X 365 lbs
    then i did 100 tire flips with a 160 lbs tire and some lat pulldowns

    2) Duration: 120 minutes

    3) Calories burned: 1423

    4) How you felt:
    the first mile of the run i didn't feel great, but once i got through the wall the last 2 miles were pretty good. my legs were sore from yesterday's squats, but i was still able to finish my workout strong. i'm very sore this morning so i might take it easy tonight on my lower body and just do an upper body workout.

    Day # 2:

    1) What I did for exercise - Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

    2) Duration - 42 minutes

    3) Calories burned - Unknown

    4) How I felt - Pretty good. But still annoyed at how hard push ups are for me when I am winded (I seem to have no problem with them otherwise - nor any problems with plyo/calesthenic leg work while winded). Also, it's 85-degrees here right now and I have not set up my A/C for the summer yet (although I would rather be hot and sweat like a pig while exercising lol). I had to keep wiping the floor with a towel to keep from slipping, and wiping my eyes so I could see, I was sweating so much.

    I kind of failed yesterday due to an injury... I seriously considered going ahead with the challenge, but I'm losing weight to fix my bum knee, not to break it altogether! Looking forward to some light walking tonight though!

    I forgot to check in yesterday, but ran for 38 minutes, burning 368 calories, felt fabulous! really strong and quick pace (for me that is).

    Today I rode my bike for 23 minutes and burned 90 calories. Although its not a lot, I normally take Friday's off, so feel quite accomplished.

I also see ibuprofen and tiger balm in my future. Awesome thread! Looking for friends who are motivated so if you'd like, add me. Most of my workouts will be geared towards getting back into running :)
