12 weeks down and 12 to go in my Bos training. Half way there.

Due to the trip to Indy with my 7 yr old I did two runs on the treadmill, now doubling my lifetime treadmill runs. I don't know how you guys put up with mind numbing nature of them

Just a workout dvd, 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs x 3 each so less than half hour work out. It reminds me how much of a wimp I am in every way except what running does for me (i.e, the cardio is super easy for me and everything else is a struggle). It's put on by Jillian Michaels who was a trainer for Biggest Loser (which I never watched but that's who it is).
