200 Minutes of Running – Done!!

Today I had to pick a fairly simple 43 because I got up at 4:30 so that I could run over 3 hours! Then I did my 43 – crazy plan!!

I did a “dead bug” to work my abs. I laid on my back with my legs up (knees bent at 90 degrees). Then, I alternated heel taps out in front of me until I had done 43 with each leg. This is a nice move to work your lower abs!

I’m not gonna lie – it was hard for me today because I had already run 24 miles!!!

Today is my 200th consecutive day of 43s so I wanted to celebrate with a 200 minute run!! I decided that if I got up at 4:30 and started running by 4:40 I would finish at 8:00 which would leave me time to do a quick demo before I needed to take Hunter to school. Chris helped me a great deal this morning by going in late (he is usually at work by 6:00) so that he could take Jordan to school. Thanks, Babe!!

I set my treadmill at 1.0% incline and started. In 200 minutes (3 hours, 20 minutes), I watched both episodes of Dancing with the Stars from this week, an episode of Dance Moms and 2 episodes of the New Normal – hooray for DVR!!

I did a total of 24 miles in the 200 minutes. I averaged 8:00 minute miles for the first 22 miles then I used the last 20 minutes as more of a cool down.
