Training Schedule

Yesterday was the first day I put shoe to treadmill according to my training schedule. It was nice to know that I have the next 144 days' workouts mapped out for me... :) I ran three miles at the NDSU wellness center because the YMCA has been giving us the run-around for days now... it's getting rather annoying... but, that's besides the point. After the (shorter than average) run, I lifted weights for my legs and then did a bit of elliptical machine. It was just dandy... and I must add that all of this occurred at 6:30 a.m. (ON HOLIDAY VACATION)... so, it was a bit of a proud moment :) Today, I will be running 5 miles (according to my training sheet) and this will, again, be completed up at NDSU because the Y still has failed to contact us... grr.. Oh, and did I mention that it's snowing... again!?!.. yeah, it is.

today mikey and i hit the gym... the local YMCA that's about a mile and a half from our house. That was my holiday gift: a membership to the Y... as it's far too cold to run outside and I also need to be doing some weight training to ensure that my muscles can take all the strain of running. Thursday we did a nice chest/upper body workout (which, I may add, I am still very sore from). Unfortunately, we got to the gym 15 minutes after it closed and had to take the day off. We were back at it today and even though I only had time to put in 4 miles on the treadmill, it felt nice to be back on track. We will be back tomorrow, but since it's a weights day, the running will be minimal, if at all.
