#FitStreak: Week 1

I think I mentioned this on Friday but today starts the official #FitStreak started by Allison @ Running Through Red Lights!  I was too excited to wait for this to officially being though so I started on Thursday when she first talked about it :)  If you want to join in and see the official “rules” jump on over to check out this post.  You don’t need a blog to participate (twitter or facebook is all!) and you only need to workout for 20 minutes a day and it does not need to be intense.  (+ it’s just 30 days)  I am planning for one day a week to be really low key and do some pilates or yoga.  So even a short walk or bike ride would count.  Oh by the way, there are PRIZES!!!!

Last week my workouts looked like this:

Monday: Walk(s) + 5 mins Upper Body Weights
Tuesday: Yoga
Wednesday: I cannot remember for the life of me what I did this day…
Thursday: Yoga + Core
Friday: Rest + Lunchtime walk about
Saturday: 10 mile bike ride + Full body weight circuit
Sunday: Tae-Bo Ultimate Boot Camp + 20 mins Pilates + Yoga with Sister

I also have a new toy that is going to make this Streak a lot more fun!  I took the plunge yesterday and purchased a road bike!  I still feel very clueless about everything to do with cycling but I am already loving it!  I had a hard time falling asleep last night because I was so excited.  Clearly I need to get out more but whatever!  I even got talked into cycling shoes and clip in peddles.  This could result in some interesting experiences as getting the shoes  IN the clips is so much harder than I thought possible…

The new bike! Do you name a bike? I still remember I had named my old bike when I was a kid, “Priscilla” ha!

It’s supposed to be quite hot today but I am hoping to get out and ride for a little while later on this evening.  It’s going to be hard to resist, that’s for sure!  I know I have not been THIS excited for running in a very, very long time so this seems to be just what the doctor ordered.  Plus it does not seem like biking will aggravate my leg issues or back issues that I am currently being plagued with. (Fingers crossed!)

So shiny and so white!

So anyways, I apologize in advance that this blog may be cycling heavy for the next few weeks until I can actually run again!  Cycling is going to be my saving grace from going crazy when I can’t run!

Want to join in the streak?  What are you planning to do to stay active today?
