Last week, I completed week 4 of SELF Magazine’s Drop 10…woo! Well, I felt good exercising, did extra…and yet managed to gain 3 lbs back. I don’t think I ate too terribly, but I definitely had more carbs than the week before. Anyway, I worked out everyday Sunday through Saturday – woo! I did rest yesterday before Week 5 starts (today)!
Reminder: Everyday is warm up 5 min, cool down 5 min. And, when it says “Level” for walk/jog/run it is on a scale of 1 being the easiest and 10 being the toughest. Unfortunately due to the shin splints, I still had to walk, which considerably slowed my pace. Shannon is still doing the workouts with me, and once again, she was able to walk/jog and yep, I still was jealous.
Cardio 1 – On Sunday, Pete asked me if I wanted to go for a bike ride, and I said sure. I had been thinking about doing some cardio – so this worked. We rode for 31 minutes and ended up going 4.13 miles.
Strength .5 – On Monday, since last week I was down half a strength workout, I decided to fit in half of one in the morning. Did 12 of each below, but only the one rep.

Cardio 2 – Monday night, was the official start of Week 4 with Shannon. It was HIIT workout Week 4, Day 1. I decided to push myself and do jog/walk…the whole time. My shins hurt, but not as bad as before. I decided I would have to walk on Wed.
- 8 seconds at Level 10
- 12 seconds at Level 6

That's my spybelt, not my belly, FYI!
With warm-up and cool-down we went 1.91 miles in 36.12 minutes. The actual time frame was 1.65 miles in 23 minutes.
Strength 1 – Tuesday night we did our regular 2 sets, 12 reps of the following. I did start using 5lbs weights, and Shannon used the 4lb ones. We are starting to feel like these are too easy…I mean some are still tough, but more cardio tough…than muscle tough.

Cardio 3 – I had to walk this day, Shannon did not. She did half of her intervals, then her feet started hurting and she walked the rest with me.
- 3 minutes at Level 7
- 2 minutes at Level 4
- Repeat 8 times.
This ended up being 3.17 miles in 53.40 minutes. Pretty slow, and I really cannot wait until my shin splints heal. I can tell they are improving, which is why I pushed it on Monday.
Cardio 4 – I felt like doing a mile walk before our Thursday strength and Shannon joined. It was 1.8 miles in 32.46 minutes. Oh yes slow, oh yes hot out…but we did extra!
Strength 2 – The regular drill. Again 5lb weights for me and 4lbs for Shannon. Look at us moving on up! I half wonder with some if we should do 3 reps in Week 5…

Cardio 5 – Since we had moved Day 3 cardio to Saturday, I still went out on Friday and did a walk by myself. I went 1.73 miles in 32 minutes. I should mention, I had only eaten a Cliff bar this day and that was while I was on my walk. Hah, then I had a burger for dinner. Weird and not good, I know.
Cardio 6 – Finally, Week 4, Day 3 – our 5 miler! I decided we needed a change of scenery for this, so we went to Columbia’s Riverwalk and walked that. This day was any way we like…so we just walked it….from one end to about the other end…and back. It became 5.24 miles in 1 hour, 54 minutes, and 11 seconds! Slow, steady…but it was really muggy! We were glad for the tree cover most of it, but not a lot of wind, and so muggy! But look at us…we did it…over 5 miles! It was our longest walk yet!

The good – shin splints are slowly mending…and we did our farthest distance yet! The bad – my shin splints are still here and stopping me from really pushing my jogging limits. And, I’ve gained 3lbs since the beginning of the week.
