Back at it!

Hey guys! So I know some of you were following my "freshman NEGATIVE fifteen" challenge from January-April. Well now, I'm back to the blog to record another of my crazy challenges! I've had other mini challenges since completing my first challenge until now, but with the vastness of this challenge and my sister, Paige, and work out partner extraordinaire being gone in Wyoming for 7 weeks, I decided to go back to the blog so she (and all of you) can keep me in check!

The basis of this challenge is to mix things up a little by going from "gym rat" to "cardio bunny" for seven weeks to see what the result will be! Basically the main difference is I will be focused primarily on running for the next seven weeks as opposed to lifting. I have split my seven weeks up into 2 week sections and the final week.Here are my goals (not including the other stuff that I will be doing along with the running):

Week 1: total of 20 miles
Week 2: total of 20 miles
Week 3: total of 25 miles
Week 4: total of 25 miles
Week 5: total of 30 miles
Week 6: total of 30 miles
Week 7: total of 33 miles (ending with a half marathon with Paige)

My diet is not as strict or intense as it was on my last few challenges because it is important to learn how to eat normally and still make healthy decisions. I still count calories and watch what I eat, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to treat myself every now and then!

I started yesterday so here is my log for yesterday and I will post later tonight about today.
