Well, when I started working, I was either running or dancing 4-5 times a week. I felt really good. In the winter time, I dwindled to 1-3 times per week. But now that it is nice outside again, I decided to get back into it.
Saturday afternoon I went for the run for 3.3 miles around the loop. It was hot, humid, and polleny (if that's a word), outside, and I did the run much slower than usual. Usually it takes me about 30 minutes, but this time it took me about 35.
Sunday I went to the gym, and Daniel was there, so he distracted me by talking to me during my run, and I did my 3 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill. I did a little on the elliptical, and he showed me some cool ab workouts, and then I left.
Monday (yesterday) I went back to the gym and did my 3 miles in 29 minutes (I just speed up the last couple laps at the end), then the elliptical, and then my usual ab workout, and then Daniel decided I needed some more (which I didn't argue with). He showed me an ab workout where your weight is on your forearms, hanging, and you bring your knees up. Bad gymnastics memories came back on that one. After that, we went and did some free weights and pushups. The pushups I was OK with since I always do pushups in my workout, but I'd never done weights (yeah, I'm a cardio gal), so that was new. Surprisingly, the only place I am sore is the bottom of my back and my abs. Yay!
Tuesday (Today) I will play basketball with work. that should give me at least part of a workout. The gym closes early today, and is closed wednesday and thursday for passover, And of course always closes early friday and is closed saturday, so I'd better find some other way to work out for the rest of the week.
I am just happy that I am back into it and feeling good.
