Day 3

Well, this is day 3 out of 4 of working out and it was nice. I think I finally got a groove back. I went further on foot than cycling today, which is opposite day 2. I ran a little faster and a smidge farther each time I bumped up the treadmill for a jog, not trying to push myself too much, but just enough to work out the kinks. I have to keep in mind that saturdays, when they first open is probably the best time on a weekend, otherwise it's busy! I got there just after 7, so I was good, but it does fill up with a lot of people on a saturday morning!

I try to workout a total of an hour each time I go. Between cycling, treadmill and conditioning equipment and stretching, I fill that hour fairly easily. I think I like my new routine of starting with a cycling warm-up, treadmill for 20-30 mins. and then cool down with some stretches and conditioning while all the muscles are warm. We shall see how it evolves. I have yet to drop in on a class and I am not sure if I will any time soon, but you never know!

Well, that is day 3, now I am going to go shower and make some pancakes and maybe some sausage, but that depends on the family.

Later

Hop Skip and Jump

Well, I am thinking about starting a new blog that follows my workout schedule and keeps track of what I do during those times. I have gotten a monthly membership to the gym and hope to go quite often and also use my bicycle for errands when the weather permits and run also. The membership makes it so I can't complain about the wind, rain, sleet, snow, heat, hills, or any other junk and have to just do it!

I really like to ride my road bike, but it isn't always the easiest thing to get together in some weather, plus, if Kat wakes up in the morning when I am going she will want to go, which is great, but then I go from road bike escapade to family bike wander, two very different rides. I do like to walk and, now, run outside, but the treadmill will help me go as far as I think I can without having to make sure I am not too far, or close, from home when I wanna be home. The strength training equipment is going to help keep me aligned in my back and joints and offer some conditioning.

For those of you who know me, I am kinda little, which gets tiresome to hear about, so for those of you who like to poke at me, I hope to gain some weight via muscle mass, this is my goal, even if it is only five pounds. :o) I do love you all and I mean it.

I would like to encourage anyone who wants to get their feet moving to get out there and give it a go. I had to make myself go today and it was totally worth, it usually is, but I've got to keep moving! Ok, that's it for me right now, I am off to make some dinner!
