It's Been a While!

It's been a while since I made an entry and since I've actually hit the pavement. I went out to the track and walk/jog from 6 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. I know my body is going to hate me tomorrow but I had to start some where! No more excuses...I've got to get back on track with my training. I feel a sense of accomplishment today! Happy Running Everyone!

It's Been A While!

Wow...how time flys...it's been a while since I've posted. Right after my first race I end up with the flu and my migraines came back with a vengance! I have not ran in a while...I have been walking during lunch. :) That has to count for something!

It's time to get back on the grind and set new goals. My goal is to hit the track at Churchland tomorrow. NO EXCUSES!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Today, I began Week 2 - Day 1 of Body For Life. I had a great lower body work out this morning and I went for a 1 mile run at the Track. I wanted to do more but when I got to the track it was almost dark and I did not feel safe being out there alone. I will shoot for more tomorrow. My eating was okay today...however, I can and need to make big improvements with my water. This really seems to be my downfall at the time. I wish push for more tomorrow.

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.

Hump Day - Week 1 Almost Over

I just completed another great workout. It's day 3 of Body for Life for me. I did 4 sets but my legs really seem to tired out on the last set...I know that's the goal but I got to get use to doing my weight training again. I've been slacking alot over the last few weeks. Oh well...the good thing is I'm back on track so I need not dwell on the past. The weather has been great here in VA. I may go for a run a the track tonight I get off before dark.

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...
