10 days in: Gym-sanity

Has anyone seen the movie, Running the Sahara? It was one of the motivations for me to start this 60-Day challenge and I keep thinking back and wonder HOW the heck did they do it?! Three men endeavor to cross the Sahara Desert on foot. It took 111 days of running multiple marathons a day (no days off) to accomplish, but they succeeded! It was a great movie, and it's on Instant Watch, so check it out!

So here I am, day 10, and I am sore, head to toe! I feel like such an amateur. The breakdown of my last ten days is as follows:
Day 1: 20 minutes bike, abs, legs
Day 2: 15 minute run: ~1.5 miles
Day 3: I decided to check out my girl, Amina Zena's workout videos. She's a personal trainer with a hilarious attitude for life. These are the ones I chose:  Core Workout for Beginners and  1 Minute Workout: Ass and Abs
Day 4: I was feeling lazy and couldn't bring myself to go outside in the 90+ degree weather so I did the Core Workout again plus another video, 1 Minute Workout!!

::My first Rest Day Happened here::

Day 5: Ryan and I decided to go to an 11am Saturday Spinning class at our gym, Boom Fitness. I don't usually like these types of classes, but the woman in charge made us do a lot of push ups on the handle bars and a lot of standing work. Plus she had a ton of great pop music blaring the whole time (Ryan probably hated this). This made the hour fly by. I'll definitely do it again!
Day 6: Russ, Meg and I went to a power Vinyasa flow class at Yoga to the People on St. Marks. It's a suggested donation ($1-10) yoga studio and there are quite a few locations throughout the city and the country! They even have hot yoga classes. I'll definitely go to one of those before the challenge ends.
Day 7: I needed a light day from all the classes over the weekend so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical at the gym. It's the only time I get to watch tv.
Day 8: I did the day 3 video workout again. Coming up with things to do is hard! I couldn't be a personal trainer haha
Day 9: Ryan and I went on a run in Central Park. We ran to the reservoir and around. It was about 1.75 miles. What a trek in that heat!! I'm signing up for a race on August 11th in Central Park so I better get my butt into gear! It's only a 5k but I actually want to do well. I have NO endurance and it makes me feel like I'm not in good shape. Here's my chance to shine!
Day 10: Video day again! I did the 8 Minute Abs and 8 Minute Buns workouts that were made in the 90s. I love how the guy uses the word "gang" to rally spirits. My abs and buns feel great today!

Come Day 60, Zapp and I will (not) look like Dana Linn Bailey!
