Month 3 Week 3 Day 3

730am Recovery- Tiger's Milk-- I KNOW! Not the best source of protein and it's got sugar, but they are only 59 cents at Longs right now...
745am and 845am Breakfast- iced green tea and an hour later, 1 cup Ezekiel cereal, plain, with unsweetened almond milk.

1200 Lunch- 1 cup of tomato soup from Henrys and a handful of pretzel crisps
2pm Snack- Two sheets of dried seaweed

Last night, Rudy announced that we would actually have a workout on Wednesday this week. We will also have a workout next Wednesday and be off on Thursday for Thanksgiving!

So today's workout was at Tamarack at 630am! I wanted to do it, but wasn't sure if I was gonna, but with a little push from Rudy, I committed to it and amazingly, I got there.

Basically, see last Saturday's workout and replace my sprint partner with Sherri Migdol instead of Nicole Locke... and up the sprints to 3 x's instead of 2 x's... OH and I ran with my water this time ;) LEARNED MY LESSON LAST TIME!

One of the stairs on the way back, Rudy told a fwe of us who were right behind him to run up and down the stairs until everyone else got there... I only did the stairs twice before everyone else caught up, but that was tough!

It's great to see that so many people get up early and enjoy the beautiful coastline with exercise! Lots of young surfers, some old couples, friends, singles, dogs (cute bulldog today) all around! Sometimes I wouldn't notice my surroundings, but after a bit of suffering, especially on the way down the hill from the sprints, I would look out onto the water and just have an incredible calm wash over me... ahhhhh! It was so nice. I had always thought of and idealized working out at the beach and here I am finally getting a chance to do it.

I love this program. It really has helped me. My mother reminded me of where I was before the program started. It is one of the three key things that I decided to do after I was broken from my break-up in August. In it, I have gained my health back, my shape back, camaraderie, and I am doing things I have never done before... like work out at the beach at 630am on a Wednesday...
