Day 1: Just the beginning

I thought I would start today out by showing you my training schedule. Courtesy of www.midwestfit.com. These guys are great and post some great workouts. Ya'll should check them out. Anyways as you can see yesterday was just a stretch and strength day. For strength I did one of the PT's that Midwest Fit had posted on their website. It was 200 push ups, 100 pull ups, and 200 squats. Well I had to slightly modify this bc I am dealing with a shoulder injury (white water rafting) so that puts my left arm out of commission for about another week. So instead I did 200 squats, and 200 lunges (100 for each leg). Then for abs I did 100 flutter kicks, 100 crunches with legs in the air, 100 leg lifts, and 100 torso twists.

Lets just say I can't move or walk this morning. I'm guessing this 2.5 mile run this afternoon is going to be difficult. I know a lot of you are thinking, 2.5 miles is nothing, but for me this is. I haven't continuously ran on a daily basis in forever, bc its something I hated so much. Cardio has always been a struggle for me. I prefer to diet and lift weights. I guess that's kind of a guys outlook on staying in shape. So this whole running thing is fairly new and something I haven't done since high school. According to the schedule I wasn't suppose to do any cardio yesterday but I decided to go on a little stroll with my sister and our dogs. We went over to the water park to walk the track. IT WAS PACKED! I was glad though that so many people were attempting to be healthy since we have such an obese society these days. I took my puppy Lolly who isn't even a year old yet, and my sister took her Bentley who is seven. My Lolly barks and tries to run after everything and everyone who walks by. So she had a hay day. Now Bentley on the other hand barely made it one mile and we had to take turns carrying him the whole second mile. Looks like Bentley wont be going on anymore walks...poor thing.  Overall I had a great workout and a great night of TV. Bachelor Pad was intense!

Until Tomorrow....if I live....Just Keep Running!
