Now I have another fault to add to my list: Delinquent Blogger! When I started this blog, my intention was to post every day that I exercised, so that would be at least 5 times/week. I started out doing pretty well, but, as so often is human nature, I slowly tapered off and would often forget to write. Now it's been over 5 weeks since my last post!!!
I'll bring you up to date on my exercise: Only exercised twice while the kids were home for Christmas. All together they were here 3 weeks. I decided I'd give myself a break and pick back up after the new year.
I can't remember what I did the week of Jan. 3, but I don't think I made my 5-day goal.
Week of Jan. 10 = 4 days of exercise: treadmill and bike
Week of Jan. 17: Made my 5 day! Yeah, I'm back on track! I did treadmill, bike and rebounder.
Today was the first day I've exercised outside. Since it was so warm (31degrees) I couldn't resist! It really was wonderfully refreshing and so much more easier than the treadmill! I did a 5 minute warm-up walk, jogged 20 minutes, walked 5 minutes for cool-down. I haven't been doing warm-ups and cool-downs until recently. In reading about running a half-marathon (which I'm still planning to do), it says it is really important to do this, mainly to prevent injury. At my age, I don't want any injuries, thus I'm taking the advice.
This Wed. night is the 1st meeting of the Borgess Run Camp, for which I signed up. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about. I've never run with a group before, and I'll be grouped with others of my same speed (slightly above turtle).
Until tomorrow ....
