intervals...

Did some interval training this evening on the jog. I use this couch to 10k app on my iPhone - excellent app... and I feel I really got a good workout and pushed myself this evening. Tonight's jog was walk 5 minutes as a warm up, jog 90 seconds, walk 90 seconds, jog 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, jog 2 minutes, walk a minute... repeat the cycle, then a 5 minute cool down. It was a good workout indeed.

9

I guess nine is my magic number today... completed 9 pages on my required paper (I owe 30 pages in a few days)... and completed 9 miles on the bike tonight.
No time to say more, got some work to do!

crap...

Well, I typed a great blog... went to post and it didn't save... so I am not typing it again, must move on... I will say I made a great distance today - all the way to West Lawther and Garland Road! YAY ME! The longest distance I have traveled by jogging in 3 years!

So far, I have accomplished 77 total miles in the past month since I began tracking... and a few days still left in the month... I'm on my way to the goal!

a different view

I wanted something different today for a jog... so I added some hills into the routine. I left from my place, past Drs Hospital, up Lake Highlands Drive, through the Penninsula neighborhood... down to the Bath House, then down past the old Dreyfuss Club and back... I got a great hill workout in and flat on the way back for a cool down... for 3.21 miles!

crazy week

It's been a crazy week, it really has... between preparing for TEA Focus Review visits, to a road trip to West Texas... fighting for my rights at UTA regarding my capstone and other projects... I am mentally exhausted... but it has not derailed my progress.

I got exercise on most days of the week.... yay! Ate right all week! Looking forward to GNO on Saturday night...

So, put in 7 miles on the bike tonight... where it used to take 5 minutes a mile... tonight my average was approximately 4 minutes... kicked up the pace!

getting those wheels spinning...

No run tonight... did the stationary bike tonight while watching the Biggest Loser... ended up doing 12 miles! W00t!!!
My husband exercised tonight too - he put in 4 miles - an excellent start!

Got a lot of exercising to put in this week... will log probably a combination of both running and cycling...especially since I have plans to go out this weekend and some alcohol will be involved = which equals empty calories... so I really gotta work out this week to compensate for the empty calories that will be consumed...but, I got my game plan on - it will be diet coke and rum or light beer to equalize some of the things!

Back on Track...

After a weekend hiatus... getting back on track today... of course, by starting slow...especially since I didn't work out enough all weekend long.

1.11 mile light jog.
4 mile bike ride.
1 pound weight loss over last week (yea, surprised me too)!
