Up, Up, and Away!

Just got back home from our cardio/shredders (ate dinner too once we got home, etc.). Today I pushed myself harder than I ever have before. Normally for the first week Chris suggests doing 5 of the six minute shredders (I think I mentioned this in a post before, but a shredder for me is three minutes of walking, two minutes of walking faster, and one minute of jogging/running). Today we not only did that (and I wasn't all that out of breath like usual), but I surprised Superman by starting to run again two minutes after our last jog and then stopping. Then I further surprised him by running to this long flight of stairs and running up them (We also ran in the parking lot to the car, too. Probably not the safest idea in the world, but we really hauled it all the way to the car). Superman said that he has never seen so energetic before. That made me feel pretty good :) I think that maybe the extra energy may have had to do with today being a high carb day on the carb cycle.

So today I did both the thirty minute Hip Hop Abs video, and went for the run. Feeling pretty good right now. Accomplished. It's a good feeling. I look forward to continuing to improve in my physical abilities. Run longer. Run faster. I can't wait for my intensity and endurance to improve so that exercising is more of a challenge for Superman too. I will be Wonder Woman, yet!
