    I am doing good thanks! A bit of pre-race nerves, but playlist is ready & just trying to stretch & rest my back. Temps here are insanely hot right now. Sunday will be a high of 22C only and sunny with a few clouds. Even at the lower temp, the course is a heat challenge, with little shade & black pavement. But it is what it is at this point, you know? Kathrine Switzer is hosting again & really hope that I get to see her. She hugged me last time!

    LOVE the 11 km run, amazing!! Yes, if you want to race, find one that you like, even if it is a long way off and sign up!! Even if you decide not to do it, you just lose the registration fee (which usually is not much). You have done this before and you know that you have to find the location, time, weather and course that suit you. Just do it my friend (if that is what you want)!!

    This may be my last “hot” race. I have always raced in the spring & summer, but as I get older, the more moderate temperatures seem more appealing!! Have planned a more laid back/different exercise regime in June & July, & we have a dream family vacation in July (more on that later). Will decide what to do after that. I want to do a marathon but need to see how my back is doing & if my life & family can support the time commitment needed. Who can say!

    Hi Friends!
    I am still here. I tried to be consistent about checking in on here but I am just busy. I have been doing great and still working out almost everyday.

    You guys are so awesome for sticking to your plans and I am so happy for you guys.

    I can't promise anything about checking in on here right now. I am here though and don't plan on leaving the group. What do you guys have left for body beast and do you have a plan for your next program?

    Total fail with my workout plan this week. I didn’t workout yesterday because it was my daughter’s prom day and I was running her around from 8 am and I didn’t work out today because I honestly hate working out on the weekends and just didn’t feel like it this morning. I should have worked out this morning but I will try to put it behind me and look to start a new week on Monday.

    I have been actively trying to up my weights during my workouts and it has been TOUGH. I am really pushing my capabilities and on certain moves reach muscle failure. I feel Like my form is good after 5 weeks at a certain weight range so I am trying to see if I can handle an increase while keeping my form good. I have noticed with the added weight I need to use pause much more than I was because I need more time to complete the reps.

    I am definitely keeping up much better than I was and I feel strong. I like the idea that at the end of the Body Beast workout calendar I could actually feel like I have “mastered” the workouts and be ready to move on. I tried to do a pull up in the park this past week and I could not lift myself up. Can anyone do a pull up? I would love to be able to. I don’t have a pull up bar so I can’t practice it but I hope to one day be able to accomplish it.

    Hope you guys are having a good weekend. Let’s kick butt in June!

    I can't do a pull-up either. I do have a pull-up bar and an assist so I do practice with our workouts and get better every week.
    Ohhhh you'll all know the day where I actually pull myself up on my own, you'll know, believe me ! lol

    What should we do after Body Beast ?
    I have enough to get through the entire month and I have no problem "waiting" for any of you who might want to start another workout together at some point.
    That being said, summer is challenging for many of us schedule wise. I thought maybe we could dibble and dabble here and there with different workout through july and august and then start September with P90X or P90X3(for you wives/mothers who has less time to get the workout in)

    Any thoughts ??

    Like we could make weekly plans with our own personal faves, like off the top of my head, Piyo Sweat and Piyo Drench, Hammer Power, Chisel Balance (love to hate that one), Beast whatever, Chalean Extreme... anyway... you get the idea.
    Also, in the summer I run so ... it would be easier to get in a couple runs (3 to be ideal) a week by doing it this way...

    Anyway, thinking out loud.

    What do you guys think ? Feel ? Prefer ?

    Thank you Krystina for your amazing support & to all of our fierce people!! So happy to have finished in 3 hrs & 15 min. Great weather & my back held up well, only acting up in the last 5 km. I reverted to a run walk for most of that last part but am so pleased my pace & finish. Here are a few pics. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement during my training!!

    No pull ups here. I use a bowlex with 180lbs. My son has been using a weighted vest and does 2 with 50 lbs. He's been showing off to me and laughing cause I can't do 1.

    I was planning on doing p90x after. I didn't like p90x3 as much.

    WOW!

    I could not imagine myself running a marathon but to see someone work for it and accomplish it really encourages me to push the limits of what I Think I can do. Thank you for the inspiration.

    I might have a plan for July and August...
    A new, hard but worthit combo of workouts with the intent of :

    Keeping the new muscles engaged and happy until The September Project and enjoying running without goals on these summer months

    I want to enjoy my summer
    Maintain - ish
    And try and enjoy what my new body can do.
    WITHOUT PRESSURE ON MYSELF !

    My plan is 21 DayFix Extreme 3 days a week and then fun runs of whatever time 3 days a week too.

    Anyone ?
