Feeling Great!

I just came back from the the track. And I'm feeling great! The weather is kind of cold but I pushed myself to go out and run any. I'm proud of myself. I'm still new at this running thing and I working on increasing my distance and time. I'm happy to report that I ran 1 mile straight in 12 minutes. I also ran/walk for an additional 2 miles. I think I'm making strides in the right direction. I managed workout out everyday this week and I will be start Week 2 of Body For Life on Monday.

Feeling Good

I have to be in the office early this morning but I was not going to leave without getting my workout on. It's going to be a long day and I know I would not be able to do it this evening.

Today is Day 2 of Body For Life for me...I just completed 20 minutes on the Cardio Glider. What a great workout! I'm feeling so good. I thought I would be sore after my run on yesterday but I fine.

I registered last night for a 5k on February 2, 2008.

I know that it's a little soon but I'm up for the challenge and I will run/walk my way to the finish line if I need too.

It's A Great Morning

I just completed a great upper body work out. I decided that I will follow the Body for Life Training schedule for now. It gives me both the cardio and weight training work out that my body needs. I managed to get in 16.9 ounces of water already this mornig. This is good for me because I sometimes struggle in this area.

Day 1
Upper Body Training - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Back/Biceps
4 sets


Update: The weather is so nice here today. I'm going to go out for a run. I will attempt to run 20 minutes. Wish me luck! I'm sure my body is going to love me for the double dose of exercise today.

I went to the track at Churchland High and I end up run/walking for about an hour. I ran the majority off the time. I'm very proud of myself...

Stats: 2.58 miles

Breakfast
Eggs
Canadian Bacon

Lunch
Crab Legs

Dinner
Stuff Bell pepper

Water: 50 ounces ( I need to work on this)
