It doesn't seem like it should take me too long to work through these exercises, but it does.  I'm always at the gym forever.  But I don't mind, I guess.  Hopefully all my numbers and slashes and exercise names make sense.

 

I'm super sore today.  I'll get back to the gym tomorrow.

I was super tired yesterday.  Like ridiculously tired all through work and everything and I really don't know why.

 

But yesterday I just ran on the treadmill with the Zombies, Run! 5K Trainer program.  I was on there for about 35 - 45 minutes.

 

Hopefully today I can get back with it.

Okie dokie. So. I've been super slacking on the gym. Daily life things, like work, have really been getting to me and stressing me out.

But I got back in the gym today. Took it slowly. I ran/walked on the treadmill for about 45 minutes and it said I travelled 2.8 miles.

I really want to run 5k in 30-35 minutes. But I'm a slow runner. I've got short legs.

Tomorrow, weights! Hurrah!

Keep going, you'll get faster, build up and challenge yourself.  You're building a new habit so keep going! I get really stressed this time of year,too. Of course one of the best things to do when you are stressed is exercise. So good for you!

Today! Monday! The Sixteenth of December in the Year of Two-Thousand and Thirteen!

 

15 treadmill warmup 
(Run/fast walk)

EDIT: I should mention that I usually run at 4.4ish. Not sure what that really is, if it's 4.4mph or just a treadmill setting.  But today, thanks to the Liberator, I pushed myself to run at 5!  And it killed me a little.  But I will persevere! Hurrah!
