   I am SUCH a slacker when it comes to updating things online. With all the support I've had from you guys here, I feel bad for that.

   But I am back and proud to say I completed my first race EVER yesterday! 3.5 miles on incredibly uneven terrain with a series of obstacles mixed in. I did it.... and I'm ready for more! (after a rest)

   Great! My back was tightening a bit as the muscles protested, but it was worth it. It's not quite my morning 3, BUT I was with my partner. We're outside now instead of doing the inside cardio in the AM.
   Afterward I went straight to the gym and did my resistance training, and REALLY felt it.
   I'm not where I want to be, but I'm proud of myself for just sticking to this as well as I have.

   I could feel the strain in my lower back again. A side effect of not doing this daily like I want to do. Or... more specifically, of the wedding weekend being a workout-less period.

   I have gotten really bad about posting, though I'm trying to keep up my actual workouts. I just haven't gotten on the site much lately. Also did resistance training with this, and 15 on the treadmill.

    Tree did a great job tonight. All I did was spot her, but she really pushed herself. She even inspired me to do the 10 minute "cool down" cardio with her, just to be a good workout buddy. That's over an hour worth of cardio today, in addition to my weight training! Tomorrow's plan is to get my 3 miles, if it's warm enough.

    I am so out of shape! My muscles are weaker than I would like to admit. Hopefully by admitting it publicly I will force myself to get in gear and improve my muscle tone and strength. My legs are strong, though, it's mostly my upper body that's frustrating me.

    I also gave Horse Stance a try again after 5 years out of training. I made it a minute before I had to quit. Maybe I should do the stance before my workout next time!

    Stage 1: 3 mile walk. Pretty quick pace, but kept it at a walk. I wore my shorts, instead of my sweats, for the first time in a while. I also wore a waist trimmer, long sleeve undershirt, short sleeve t-shirt and a hoodie. It took me about 45 minutes, give or take (I had to estimate as I forgot to check the time when I started).

    First it was the gout, then losing a friend, and finally a motivational void. I can't stay down forever, so I forced myself out today, and I feel better for it. I haven't regressed too much, though my weight is back up. At least I was able to hold on the cardio despite the regained weight.

    Jogging is running, yo. I upped the ante and jogged from one class to the next today, despite the odd looks from other students. The extra weight from my books increased the challenge a bit. Can't do this on MWF because I carry my laptop, so I figure T/Th will work. This is in addition to the miles I plan to log in a few hours, after homework is done.

      Thanks Alicyn! I really need to get myself in shape. And I feel no fear of what others think, so I can live with looking like a dork. In the end, I will look good in a kilt again, and THEY will still be worried about keeping up appearances.
