Before After

I'm pooped

Yesterday I did do my second workout as planned. I ran on my treadmill at home. I started C25K week 3 day 1 and it was a little challenging, however I think it was because I ran/walk earlier that day. Oh well I'm glad I finally caught up on my workouts.
 Today I did week 3 day 2 and I had the opportunity to run outside again, so I took it. I prefer running outside than running on the treadmill I enjoy the scenery, although my treadmill has a tv, it's less easier to cheat outside, lol. Today's run/walk was somewhat challenging towards the end, and I think it's because 1) I didn't get enough rest and 2) I worked out twice yesterday.
I think working out twice is going to become a way of life. Because I'm not getting in the all the workouts that I really want to. Although I only work 3 days out of the week, I work long hours and by the time I come homne, I'm ready to go to bed. So on my days off I guess I will have to work extra hard. My main issue is that I want to strength train again, I really loved the results I was getting, and getting toned is one of my goals. Or I will have to put the two workouts together, I don't know, I will figure it out one of these days. Today if the time permits I will have a second workout I will either go skating outside or do strength training, I really want to do both so it's a hard decsision. I figure I'll probably be better off strength training in the garage, because by the time I go back out it will be too hot! Well I'll catch up with you all later.

Until next time much love!

I wish

I had your determination to get caught up on the exercise

I agree about ...

walking/working out outside! On the treadmill you can just hit stop and hop off but if you have walked a mile or 2 down the road you gotta turn around and walk em back lol.

Great job on workouts! I understand about long days. Doubling up should be fine just take care of yourself so you don't get any overuse injuries.

Keep up the great work!

Strength training

For some reason Im thinking maybe I read on your blog before that you've tried The Firm videos, but if not they have several great dvds that combine cardio and strength training/sculpting.  Just an idea if you are looking for a time saving way to get both    I love them but the ceilings in my house arent high enough to use the dvds that have the step thing   so there are only a few that i can use.  Plus like you, I prefer to be outside.

outside

I prefer doing my walking outside too. It just seems more stress relieving that way. Way to go on all the exercise! You are on a roll!
