I'd taken some time away to play the role of the brand new bride, and though I'd been running pretty regularly, it felt strange not to check in here. Then, last week I set a goal for myself: for the next month I will work out 6 days a week, and at least two of those days will be double work-out days. Did I do it?
You're darn right, I did!
I had a cool graphic of a calendar with all my workouts to post, but I apparently can't upload it from this machine on the new blog format. In the meantime, here's a hastily slapped together text version:
Monday, 9/20:
6:45am - 20 min Step Aerobics
12noon - 4 mi Run
6:00pm - 3 mi Walk
Tuesday, 9/21:
6:45am - 20 min Step Aerobics
5:30pm - 3 mi Run
Wednesday, 9/22:
12noon - 3 mi Walk
5:30pm - 3.5 mi Elliptical
Thursday, 9/23:
6:45am - 25 min Step Aerobics
Friday, 9/24:
6:45am - 25 min Step Aerobics
Saturday, 9/25:
11:00am - 4 mi Run
Sunday, 9/26:
Rest
So to sum it up, I am on track with my personal goal for the week. Having that burst in the morning has been really valuable. Especially with my day and evenings being really busy on Thursday and Friday, keeping up with the morning step aerobics helped me stick to the plan. I'm also grateful that I have invested, piece by piece, in home workout equipment like light-weight free weights, a yoga mat, and generously donated step aerobics benches and a fitness ball. I feel like I'm more likely to fit something in before work if I can just power it out in my living room.
I'll check back in next week with another update on how well I'm sticking to this plan, and perhaps I'll have some physical results to show for it.
