Finally...

Starting back this week on schedule!

I had a 10K last weekend that totally kicked my butt due to my inactivity (oops) but I've finally recovered and will be beginning my new workout schedule this week!

I did manage to do days 1-4 of the 21 day challenge before the race, and so went ahead and began this week with day 5 arms + back. Super hard but I noticed it was much easier to do the moves when my floor is dust-free (as it so rarely is!).

I got through the first round without any modifications (except the last workout as I don't have an equalizer).
The second round I started the first workout normally, then went to my knees by the end; the second workout I did without modifications but it was at a much slower pace; the third workout I did on my knees; the fourth I did push-ups and then rows - left out the burpee, though!
The third round I did the first workout on my knees, took out the push up on the second and third workouts, and completed the last workout the same as I did the other two rounds.

My arms are going to be dead in the morning.

It'll be worth it though! Already I've seen a huge improvement between this challenge and the last in my form and endurance.

My schedule for the rest of the week:
Monday: Day 6
Tuesday: Day 7 + 1.5 mile run
Wednesday: Day 8
Thursday: Day 9 + 1.8 miles on the treadmill
Friday: Day 10
Saturday: Day 11 + 1.8 mile run
Sunday: Day 12 + yoga

Tip of the day: Don't increase your mileage too fast, 10% is a good rule of thumb!
