Health and Fitness Friday : C25K

What a week!

I feel like this week has gotten away from me.

I had my Sculpted Abs class on Friday. Wasn't a great class for me. I was all set for an amazing workout and I couldn't do it. I was trying to do one of the exercises and my body just wouldn't let me. Turns out that I have a slight tear on one of my deep lower abdominal muscles. 

You know those muscles that my kids kick the crap out of when I carried them for 9 months? Ya, those! I tore one of those. Nothing too major though. Just need to give it a weeks rest. Back to normal for today's class.

Had my normal Skinny Jeans class Monday. Can't believe how much more I'm able to do every week I go back. I love it. No problems walking down the stair after this class. Hubs has even remarked on how my butt is getting, in his words, "solid". ha!!

I had my first sexy arm class Wednesday. OMG!! My arms were like someone had pumped lead into them. I couldn't even lift them up over my head by the end of the class. We did a circuit of 6 different exercises, 4 times. Push ups, dips, weights and resistant bands, just to name a few. Didn't think I'd be able to pick up the little guy but I felt great the next day.

Back to Saturday. Had an amazing run. Best one yet. Breathing was great. Pace was slow but steady and I finished without being out of breath. Ran over 2 miles. I couldn't have run a 1/4 of that a month ago.
I found this pin on my Fitness and Health Pin board very helpful with my breathing.

I'm still finding it hard to get in runs during the week. I may have to give in and get up early in the morning and run before everyone gets up. I just hope I don't fall asleep at lunch time.

I have also signed up for a 10k in mid-July. I think I'm hooked!!
I'm doing it for a charity called Bee for Battens, The Saoirse Foundation. You can found out all you need about that charity Here.

Health wise i'm doing good. My diet has been for the most part good. Still need to cut back on my chocolate and sugar. Didn't try any new recipes but I have one in the works for next week. 

I'm going to be posting my new recipe in my New link-up that's happening on Tuesday.

I would love it if my fellow Health and fitness crazy bloggers would come post a healthy or not so healthy recipe for me to try out.
My goal for next week is to try get in 3 runs. I need to step up my game or I won't succeed.

And that's it.
I'm linking up with Jen over at A Daily Dose of Davis for her weekly link-up.

Happy Friday Everyone!
