Day 47 CLX/Insanity

Today was a run day, CLX Push 3 day, followed by ab burner day! I got to run without the kids again (love having Chris home on leave!), but I also ran without friends. It was just me and the road today...that and a crappy MP3 player selection. I mean, seriously, it's been so long since I ran with music that it was just pathetic. Come on who runs to "...don't wanna be all by myself, all by myself, don't want to live all by myself..." followed by "...OMG Becky look at her butt, it is so big..." Seriously! Ha, ha. And in the middle of a run is NOT when you want to be trying to figure out how to change songs and find playlists. I spent most of the run being distracted by what song was on and how to get past it. I did manage to set my watch for 30 minutes though, so I ran until it started beeping.
Overall it was a really nice run today, music selection aside. I was able to go off road and run on a lot of side trails. Those trails aren't on the maps, so I had to gestimate how far I ran. I figured around 2.9, so even though I was running solo I still managed to go the same distance as I do with the girls. That made me happy!
I think it was a day for solo workouts because I did Push 3 and ab burner alone as well. Chris was having a co-worker over tonight for a study session and he was bringing his wife along, so I did my workout early so we could all hang out. Katelynn tried helping me by half hanging on my dumbbells as I was trying to lift; Chris quickly rescued me (I mean her) by putting Peter Pan on youtube for her to watch.
Push 3 is my favorite of the Push series. I use my 12 lb dumbbells for the entire set, and could really use 20-30 lb dumbbells. Workouts like this one make me wish we were still at the base gym so we could use the heavier weights, but I should still get results with the 12's. Only two more weeks then it's time for Recovery week followed by the Lean phase of CLX. After the Recovery week our Insanity workouts will only be once a week and it'll be the Fast and Furious/Pure Cardio workout. Should be interesting; I guess it's because Insanity is only a 60 day program. We also get 2 rest days a week. I might go a little stir crazy!

Chris took this photo of me this afternoon, and I thought it made me look skinny. LOL You can really see the difference in my face/neck from before. Ah, something is working!!
