Day 89, CLX/Insanity

Tonight was Lean 3 from CLX. I tried to use my 12's for every exercise, and almost made it. My arms were screaming at me by those last 2 exercises. I had to drop down to 8's for the extreme on one set. I brought my camera along tonight and Steph snapped a few shots for me.

Here's Tabitha and me doing lunges and overhead presses.

Kneeling doing weighted crunches followed by overhead presses.

 Me :)

 And of course, Chalene's favorite, push-ups. UGH!

As we're cooling down Chalene says the following: "All you can do is your very best. Do not go through it at a comfortable level, but go through it pushing yourself as absolutely hard as you can. Then you can't do anything but succeed. You can't fail if you're giving it your all." I love that! She is so inspirational.
It's Friday so we ran this morning. It was hot and I felt so sluggish. We did 3 miles in 33 minutes. Not our greatest run, but definitely not our worst. Unfortunately, it doesn't really look like Sunday is going to be much better - weather.com says a high of 91. Hopefully it'll cool down by 7pm. Fingers crossed!
After CLX tonight Tabitha and I went to a free event hosted by the USO - bellydancing! It was actually very interesting and lots of fun. The instructor said the hip shaking is actually coming from your legs not your hips, so for a good bit of it was shook our legs (stand on your tippy toes and move your knees back and forth super fast - it really does make your hips shake) - I told Tabitha if we didn't stop soon I was going to set the place on fire from my thighs rubbing together - ROFL! I hope they do it again sometime. Here is a photo that the USO posted...

AND on another note, the North Face Challenge sent me an e-mail and in it there was a photo from the race of Tabitha and I and it let me save it. It's super tiny, but hey, here it is...
