21 days into the 30 Burpees for 30 Days Challenge…
30 BURPEES.
EVERY.
SINGLE.
DAY.
FOR.
THIRTY.
DAYS.
And I’ve been back to running nearly every day.
And, I did yoga for the first time ever last night.
EVERY
MUSCLE
IN
MY
BUTT
IS
K. I. L. L. I. N. G
ME!
Well, really, EVERYTHING hurts.
That’s what happens when you go from wimpy girl who can barely peel herself off the ground to full-on She-Ra Beast Mode – it should never get easier, because you should always be pushing past limits and reaching towards new goals!
I’m stronger than I’ve been in a couple of years, looking good, feeling fabulous (except when I don’t!), and able to hold baby girl for extended periods of time despite her growing bigger EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY (the whole reason I took on the burpee challenge)…. All after only THREE WEEKS!
Burpees are now, officially, my favorite total-body workout. Thank YOU, Spartan Race for the challenge!
Now maybe I’ll be able to run my first full marathon (Spring 2014) in less than a full day! 😉
