    Ok ladies, this almost 60 yr old lady is crazy...I just agreed to do a Road Race (five different 5K races) series with my daughter and granddaughter which will be run from May 27 to August 6, here in Arizona. So I guess I better start training and really glad I've been building my strength with all the challenges with you ladies. 30 Day Shred and running in the heat in AZ....YIKES!!!

    @TheCupcakeCounter , Barb around here running is usually done these days as the sun comes up. I think that's the part I dislike the most. Not a morning person, especially since retirement, so getting up early to run because of the heat, not my favorite. It's 7am here and I've already done my 5 miles for today.

    Did my "hump day" legs, butt, and abs workout this morning. Tomorrow is light walking and Pilates only for recovery.

    I think it went by faster than level 1. Planks are cool because I can do them (because of our previous challenge), 5 lb weights are very difficult to raise for me in most of the exercises so I'm only raising them halfway as of now. The cardio to me is better and the weight lifting seems more beneficial.

    Just my two cents.

    I start L2 tomorrow. Not sure I'm excited about the planks - I have issues with extended time in plank position because of the injury to my back last year.

    You can always modify on your knees. Where did you get your body weight vest from?

    Ok, I thought I read that you added 18 lbs somewhere in your workout. Maybe I was mistaken

    Oh! I have a 18lb body bar. It's basically a barbell but padded and you can't add weights. I put it across my shoulder for weighted back squats
