Thoughts:
I was a little sore from yesterday, so I was going to have today be my rest day. However, Mike and all the kids wanted to go, so I decided I would give it a shot. I didn't want to do week 3 again since I have done it 5 times. Mike and the kids were doing week 2. So, I decided to give it a try but I thought I would probably not really do all of it but just see how bad the 5 min run was. :) BUT, I DID IT! I can't believe it, but I went the WHOLE time. I didn't even think I was going to die. It was challenging, but not difficult. I felt my muscles burning, but it felt pretty good. I am amazed. I love these podcasts. I like the music better in the second half of week 4 than I have in all of the other ones. They are a wonderful tool though so that you don't have to think about it.
