This may be the longest I’ve gone without blogging…over two months! I registered to run another 5K in June so I’ve been running 3 times a week. I’ve also increased my cardio, so now I run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the elliptcal and cross trainer on Tuesday and Thursday. It seems to be working pretty well. To make sure I get my workouts in, I’m in the gym by 5:30 am. It’s not as bad as it seems, although the first week was kind of tough. I’m still not loving running, but I no longer dislike it enough to stop. I’m now trying to increase my pace. Everything I’m reading says to do intervals. I have the Nike+ podcast with Serena Williams. Maybe that’ll motivate me.
5:30am? go on with your bad self! good luck w/ your training and the 5k.
I know 5:30 am seems extreme, but it’s the only time I can find for myself to get to the gym with a husband and a young child. I have just enough time to go to the gym, workout, shower, get home and wake up my boys (my husband and son), and get my son dressed for daycare before heading out to work. It has turned out to be one of the best things I’ve done for myself since having my son. It’s so hard to find time for myself, but I’m definitely better for it…mentally and physically!
