Running with Dad

Went running with my dad today. 5 miles. 55 minutes and 12 seconds.

Cross Train

Today I biked for 30 minutes. I did the weight loss mode (changes from 1 resistance to 4 every 4 minutes) I was able to do 6 miles.

Running in pairs

So I am a solo runner. Not because I want to run by myself and have deep thoughts. Its just how it works. Well today I was running at young arena and my friend (a personal trainer) was there too. So she ran with me for a while. Boy did she push me. I ended up doing 3 miles in 30 minutes. WOW! Can't wait to run with dad this weekend and see how we do together.

A nice walk

I have been sick. Yesterday I didn't go to work so of course I didn't work out either. So today I did a nice brisk 20 minute walk at the arena. Something is better than nothing.

Stupid Stomach!

I have been feeling crappy all week but thought I was doing better so I left for the arena to run. I made it to lap 12 (7 laps = 1 mile) before my stomach revolted. So much for 5 miles. But at least I tried. I will try again tomorrow after work.

The fun thing is I got a lap tracker. You know... one of those metal clicker things. Now I have no excuses not to run the proper amount of laps.

Plans Change

Today I was going to do the P90x class although I wasn't sure my body could take it. Well I had an 11:00 meeting so I took my gym bag with. Didn't get out in time for class but since I had my bag I went to the Y anyway. I did a simple workout of circuit training (legs only), pushups, planks, and ab work. Then a lot of stretching since I am a little sore from my run yesterday. All in all I'm glad that I went and glad that I know I didn't over do it.

Also I signed up for the Fool's 5K on March 27th. Pretty excited.

Running

I ran 3 1/2 miles after work today at the arena. So much better than the treadmill. I did it in 38 minutes. Which means I ran a little faster today than the last time at the arena.
