Tough day, but I made it through.

Oh if ever there was a day where I did not want to do my run, it was today. I woke up this morning and my legs where sore, not too bad, but I was feeling it.  I knew that today's plan was to do sprints and that is the last thing I wanted to do. But as always if you want to reach a goal you have to work through your good and bad days, and so I did!! 

Workout 1 - Sprint drills - 10 sprints alternating 1 min and 2 min sprints with slow running intervals in between except for 3 short walking intervals between sets. 

Total time - 47 mins 

Calories burned - 500

Fitness note - Hard day.  Ran strong up until sprint number 8, then I really started to feel out of it, but I pushed through!

Fitness note - Good day of lifting. I like the combination of lifting heavy weights with low reps and then light weights and higher reps. Glad I was able to do the bonus round today! Last P90X workout of the week and I felt strong. Looking forward to Fridays full body weight workout for a nice variation.
