Day 11

Well, I'm starting to feel a little bit like a failure. I didn't run again today. Really though, it was 111°. It rained again in the evening and cooled down a bit, but by the time it stopped it was really too late to go. Like 8:30 late. So instead we went for a short walk. I'm pretty disappointed. I'm thinking about trying to wake up early tomorrow to go before the heat gets too bad... but I've never been a morning person, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. It's supposed to be hot again tomorrow and cool down a bit Monday. I REALLY hope so. Not only is the heat bad for my running, but it's kind of bad for my mood too.

Today I started level 2 of the 30DS. By day 10 of level 1, I was doing the whole thing with no break and the only thing I modified was the push-ups. So I felt ready. I'm not sure I'm ready. It was HARD. Like REALLY hard. The cardio in level one was really easy for me from the beginning. That was kind of my rest time. It's not a rest in level two. I cheated a lot on the strength parts, took a ton of breaks throughout, paused the DVD once, and did the modified version of almost everything. By the end I was laying on the floor, holding my stomach in agony (both muscle pain and nausea), asking E if I ever thought level one was that bad. He assured me I did. In fact, now that I think about it, the first time I did level one (back in October when I first tried this thing) I had to pause the DVD 3 times. It was that bad. Now it's not so bad. Still hard, but pretty do-able. I can't see ever being able to do level 2 successfully, but I'm going to die trying (or at least until the 10 days are over).

Ok, here we go. Keep in mind it was 111° out today (as if you could forget with all of my whining). Who feels like eating when it's so ridiculously hot out?
