Break

With the summer months so darn hot, humid, sticky, and such poor air quality, I have put my run training on hold until sometime in late September.  I realize I'll probably have to start all over again, but  my goal is to increase my overall endurance and strength by doing other activities.

Today was my first day towards that goal.  I actually went to the gym and did my own thing.  No trainer.  No class.  Just me, my imagination, determination, headphones, and iPod.  I felt a little self-conscious at first, but eventually ignored it and just enjoyed the small personal accomplishment.  My goal is to do this on my off-class nights, which means Mondays and Fridays.  It will possibly mean this Wednesday too, depending on what time the movie lets out.  I may have time to make it to the gym since we're going to the 3:45 show.

W5D3: Long Time Since

I forgot to post yesterday. I went for a run last night around 8:00 because the temperature pleasantly dropped to 79 degrees. I attempted the W5D3 run again (20 minutes straight), but since I hadn't run since the previous Sunday, I was not surprised that my body ached the whole time and had to stop and walk once or twice.


I'll definitely try to do better with exercising consistently this week. Taking a week off from working out and eating poorly have taken their toll--I've had trouble sleeping and I miss the utter exhaustion that follows a weight training workout. Here's to a healthier week!
