Stretched. Ran 3.1 miles at 6.0-6.3mph and 2% incline. Did a 0.1 mile cool down at 4.0mph. Stretched, did leg lifts and lower ab crunches.

Donnnn't want to work today. Is it Spring Break yet? Woke up and changed right into my workout clothes. Stretched and did intervals of resistance 5 and 6 on the elliptical for 1.5 miles. Then switched over to the treadmill for 1.9 miles at 6mph and 2% incline. Stretched and did lots of free weight lifting. Stretched and then had eggplant for breakfast! YUMMM..

Felt kinda crumby today. I think I got a sinus headache from the weather. Took some medicine and about an hour or so later, got ready for a run. Stretched and ran 6 miles at 2% incline and 6.2-6.5mph. Did a few intervals (only 3 or 4) at 7mph for 1 minute at a time. Then did a cool down for 0.2 miles at 4.1mph. Stretched. Did leg lifts(25 or so each), 220 or so crunches (11 different kinds, 20-ish each), 2 sets of squats (close-legged and open-legged, 25 each) and lifted a bunch of free weights (many different styles, but didn't keep count). Stretched arms and legs again.

My mom came in and woke me up this morning and told me to get on the treadmill first thing! I was surprised at first but I am glad she did this. I was kind of complaining to her last night about all the things I have to do for tomorrow (now today) etc. etc.. and she knows how upset I feel when I don't find a chance to exercise. So, I got into my workout clothes before the pillow creases had a chance to fade from my face. Stretched and ran 6.2 miles at 6.0-6.2mph and 2% incline. Then did a cool down of 0.2 miles at 4.0mph. Stretched well and now I've got to continue my busy, busy day!

Woke up, stretched, and got on the treadmill. Did 3.3 miles at 6.3-6.4mph and 2% incline. Then did a 0.2 mile cool down at 4.0mph. Stretched and did leg lifts, lower ab crunches, and a bunch of free weight lifting. Did final stretching and headed upstairs to do work and have breakfast.

Stretched and did the killer whole-body workout from Exercise TV with my sister. It was 30 minutes and now I am so sore!!!

My calves, especially, are wicked sore fom yesterday's workout. Stretched and ran on the treadmill for 3.1 miles at 6.0mph and 2% incline. Then did a cool down at 4.0mph for 0.4 miles. Stretched again and lifted free weights. Finished with lower ab exercises. Then had eggplant again for breakfast! My favorite!!

Stretched and ran 3.6 miles on the treadmill at 6.1mph and 2% incline. Then did a 0.2 mile cool down at 4.0mph and stretched. Had to get stuff ready for a party today so didn't have time for anything else :(

Got a bit of exercise this morning running around and around and around the deck playing "soccer" with Skyler (2-yr.old). Later, I got changed, stretched, and ran on the treadmill for 3.2 miles at 6.1mph and 2% incline. Then did a 1.3 mile cool down at 4.0mph. Next I stretched, did leg lifts, squats, and lower ab crunches. Finished up with lots of free weight lifting.

I've been feeling kind of 'eh' and lazy lately. I did a bit of jogging

around and yard work yesterday, but I couldn't input that into milages

or anything. So, today, I stretched and ran on the treadmill for 6.3

miles on 2% incline. I started out at 6.0mph then after 11 minutes or

so, I bumped down to 5.8mph for the bulk of the run. Then, toward the

end, I ran at 6.1 and 6.2mph. Next I did a cool down at 4mph and Skyler

(2-yr.old) joined me in he basement and copied "running on the

treadmill" by running in place on top of my black yoga mat. What a

clever boy! After my cool down, Skyler seemed very interested in trying

out the real thing, so I stuck the treadmill into 1.0mph and held him

under he armpits as he "jogged." He was SO HAPPY. Then I began

stretching and Skyler likes to copy this, too. He did all sorts of

stretches with me and I helped him along. SO CUTE!

At Benn's and ram 3.2 miles on his treadmill at 6.2-6.3mph, with the last 5 minutes of the run at 6.5mph. Did a cool down @4mph for 0.2 miles. Stretched and lifted free weights.

My best friend, Missy, was house/pet sitting for a coworker and invited me to hang out and spend the night. We went on a 30-40 minute walk with the dog, but I don't know what that would be mile-wise (plus the dog would stop every now and again.. for obvious reasons.. haha). Then we got steamed vegetable takeout and fell asleep on the couch to Myth Busters. Woke up around midnight to let the dog out once more for the night, brush our teeth, and hop into bed.

Woke up and went out in the breezy cold for another 30-40 minute walk with the dog. We passed a farm with sheep and found a cool old stone bridge and a hiking trail. I would like to go back and explore that when the weather gets nicer!!

Woke up, stretched, and ran on the treadmill for 4.2 miles at 6.2-6.3mph and 2% incline. The did a cool down of 0.4 miles at 4.1 mph. Stretched and did leg lifts, lower ab crunches, and lifted free weights. Then cooked a spinach and broccoli eggwhite omlette for breakfast and some chunks of mango. MMMMMmmmmmm :)

Woke up and was chilly! Stretched and ran for 3.3 miles at 6.3-6.6mph and 2% incline. Then did a 0.8 mile cool down at 4.1-5.0mph and 2.5% incline. Then stretched and lifted free weights. I cut it short today because I really wanted to call and talk to Benn about his morning!

 
Drove to work and got to do a 10 minute walk in Lee before my first meeting. I dunno how far it was but I found an uncratched Bingo-style scatch ticket on my journey!! I put it in my car for later tonight. I'll let you know if I win anything!!! :D hehe

This afternoon, I stretched and ran 5.5 miles at 5.8-6.1mph and 2% incline. Then, did a 1.5 mile cool down at 4.1 mph and talked to Benn on the phone. Finished and stretched again. Next, I did lunges, 3 different sets of squats, and leg lifts. Ended with weight lifting and stretching again.

After I work on some stuff for work, I would like to do crunches tonight before bed, too!

: )

Woke up, stretched, and ran on the treadmill for 3.2 miles at 6.0-6.2mph and 2% incline. Then I did a cool down of 0.9 miles at 4.0-4.1mph. After, I stretched and did lunges and 3 different types of squats. When I was finishing up leg lifts, I could start to feel it burning in the side of my butt!! haha yAoW! Then I did free weight lifting and about 191 or so crunches (10 different types). I try to keep count but sometimes I alternate between 15 to 25 each, so it is hard to tell.

Stretched then ran upstairs to play with my 1-yr-old neice, Jane!!

After being up for a little bit, I stretched and went downstairs on the treadmill. I stretched and ran 3.3 miles at 6.1mph and 2% incline. During my run, Benn called me to make a biking date for Sunday. We are going to bike the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail in Lanesboro, MA (15 minutes or so from my house). As far as the weather goes right now, it is supposed to be nice and sunny out. I am so excited for Sunday! Anyway, after running, I did a cool down for 0.8 miles at 4.1mph. Then I stretched and headed upstairs to play with the kiddos (Jane & Skyler) and then get ready for work. I also have to get my belongings out of my car (not much.. I think just a small blanket and my first aid kit) so that my big brother and sister can pack it up with their uggage. They are moving to California and are beginning their trip cross-country on Thursday!!
