Its a New week

Yesterday I ran outside for about 1.2 miles. For the majority of the run I had a backback filled with books that had to be returned to the library. After returing the books I ran to my friends house to help him load up a flat screen tv for our superbowl party. I got some strange looks from people who were casually walking.

Anyways, I went three days in a row of not working out last week. My body has been tired. Today at lunch I went to the gym, even though this morning I didn't feel like going. I did 3.2 miles on the treadmill. I think I'm going to re-do week 5 of hal higdon training since I only ran 6 miles last week.

oh well looking forward to this new week. Also this is the last week of our fitness challenge at work. I'm trailing in hours of excercise. Honestly I'm not so focussed on this right now. I think I just need to keep to a steady plan for the 9 mile race I want to do.

thanks,
Chuck

yesterday

Yesterday I got up early went to the gym. I knocked out 2 miles on the treadmill. After that I moved onto the bike. I did 22 minutes on the bike. Then I hopped on the elliptical and did 18 minutes. All together I was right at 1 hour.

Then I went to the gym during lunch and did 33 minutes on the bike. Once again when I was done, my legs were moving very slow and sluggish.

Today I have not worked out. If things go well, I will try to get to the gym late at night.

Saturday run

Sorry its been a little bit since I have posted. On Saturday I did 3.5 miles in 29:47. Yesterday I did a ab dvd workout from Billy Blanks. Thats all I have for today.
At lunch I will run 4 miles.

Short fast run

Today I did 2 miles. I decided to push it harder than I have been to see how fast I could finish. I did it in 15:41. I was pretty happy with this time. I think I'm going to try this once a week. Take a shorter planned run and push it hard the whole way.

After that I put in 15 minutes on the bike. I'm pretty tired now.

Short post

Just wanted to share that I after running 3.5 miles and doing the bike for 40 minutes. I went to the gym during lunch, did dumb bell chest press, and incline press. And did 11 minutes on the elliptical.

Later,

Yesterday and Today - 1/27/10

Yesterday I got up early and got some cardio in. I did elliptical for 30 min, 3.17 miles and bike for 25 min 7.55 mi.

Today I knocked out 3.5 miles in 30:51. After that I got on the bike and rode for 40 minutes. Bike seems to be a great workout for the legs. That might sound simple or obvious. I just never have rode the bike this much.

So we have 2 more weeks till our competition is over. yesterady I was in last place in regards to hours of excercise. But as of today (And its early in the day) I'm ahead of everybody.

I'm also looking forward to the 9 mile run in March. I have been sticking to my training plan, I'm on my 4th week. I know I can knock out 9 miles. But so far haven't ran that long in a LONG time. The closest I came was 8 miles and that was in the Summer. I just hope come race day that I'm patient enough.

all for now.
