Wednesday, 4/6: I worked out today--did you?

[MissMillie]

I'm glad you guys don't mind me posting this every day. I figure it's one way to keep me motivated. I'm sure there will be days that I miss, but I'm going to make an honest effort to workout every day, and coming here and posting (even bragging) helps to keep me honest, I think.

I did my usual track work. Today I jogged 1.5 miles and walked .2 miles. I'm thinking that for the rest of this week and all of next, I will continue on distance and duration, and after that I will start to work on picking up the pace. (My sis told me to forget about speed entirely for the first 3 weeks, so that's my plan.)

I also did the usual ab work out and then the free weights for the arms, shoulders, triceps, and pecs.

I also broke down and rented a locker. I don't mind lugging in my work clothes every day, but the shampoo, soap, hair spray, hair dryer, deodorant, etc., was getting to be a work-out too.

It's official... I'm sticking w/ the gym.

1. I did, and I love that you're running with this.

Today was back/lats day. I upped my weight on the Hammer Strength upright row machine to somewhere upwards of 300 lbs. I lost count, I admit. I'll be paying for THAT little stunt tomorrow...

Sticking with the gym, MissMillie is an awesome concept. We'll be holding you to it, so don't let yourself, nor us, down. j/k...sort of.

3. Hammer Strength makes the BEST machines.

I almost like their stuff better than freeweights.

5. A big "Me Too" on Hammer Strength -- great for my shoulder injury!

I can still train w hammerstrength in spite of my (repaired and recovering) rotator cuff injury. That makes me very happy. Terrific machines.

2. I ran 8 miles today.

That's double what I normally do in a day. I ran 4 miles this morning and then 4 miles this evening. I doubled up because I don't think I'll get a chance to exercise tomorrow. I'm bringing my son to the zoo in the morning, and it sounds like we are going to have bad weather in the afternoon.

7. Wow... I can't wait to be able to run 4 miles

Only now am I starting to believe that I'll be able to do it one day.

4. Just went for a walk.

ZenLeftyGirl is feeling like crap, so we decided to just go for a nice walk today while the sun was still out.

8. Hope ZLG feels better soon

My dad has the worst cold he's had in years. I think often the change of seasons messes w/ ya.

6. Keep Posting these threads

I enjoy hearing about your workouts, and it motivates me.

I did 50 mins on the elliptical.
