I Did It!
I ran my second 5K on the weekend and I ran the whole thing (stopped 3 times to catch breath for a few seconds) and shaved 10min off my time! I was so happy. My cousin and I didn’t get much sleep the night before and we hadn’t been training religously so we were surprised. We’re doing more 5K this year, and aiming for a 10K next year!

US To Replace Food Pyramid With Food Plate
Apparently the food pyramid is confusing, so the US is thinking of following in the UK’s footsteps with the food plate. I’m all for improvements but I’m not sure that confusion is the reason why a large portion of the US do not eat properly. For me it’s because a McDonald’s is dangerously close and cheap(ish)….

Running Workouts
I am running my first 5K of the year on Sunday. I have to admit that I haven’t been training for it a lot. When I moved at the end of March I was running 3 or 4 times a week, but then the nice weather came and I did bootcamps, Insanity and biking by the water. So I have improved my cardio, but running on your feet is quite different then being on a bike or interval training.
MSN.com offers combo training workouts here. The idea is to incorporate into one workout the goals of 2 workouts…for instance, if you want to work on your race pace and increase your distance MSN offers a workout to work towards both goals. Also the change up is nice.
And if you are a beginner runner, or returning to running after illness or a injury, read this on how to avoid the early pitfalls of running! Helpful. Second week is harder than first….

Insanity Workout
Anyone else try the Insanity workouts? This is my favourite home dvd workout. I changed daily, constantly challenges you and gets results. I am 2 weeks in. It starts off with a Fit Test, then a schedule of workouts, which are tough but short enough to fit into your day, in the privacy of your home. No equipment needed! I tried PX90 but didn’t have a chin up bar or somewhere to secure a fitness band to. I just did the Fit Test at the 2 week mark and am impressed with how much improvement I have!
I should note that I haven’t been true to the schedule, I do what I can when I can, and also bike and do bootcamps. That said, I still improved!
