Workin' Out
I finally got to play with my new toy today; the Garmin Forerunner 305. Before I went to the park I did 15 minutes on the Wii Fit, then I did a mile and half using intervals and then 1 more lap (about 3/4 mile) just walking to cool down and make a course on my Garmin for just 1 lap. The mile and half took me 20 minutes and the cool down walk took about 14. That means in total I did about 50 minutes of exercise today! Go me! :D I am ready for a nap! LOL What is cool about the Garmin is that when I got home I hooked it up to my computer and it transferred the data from my Garmin onto my computer so that I could see what I had done. It keeps track of pacing, heart rate and time. It can also tell when you do a certain course, so I think next time I will be able to compare my results after I run! Way cool! I am so happy with my new toy, thanks mom!
In other exercising news...I am still contemplating the idea of joining Sac Fit. It is the running/walking club that Sabrina (Matt's mom) is in that has helped her reach her weight loss and fitness goals. I am realizing that I need some accountability, and if I have people who are in the group with me making sure I am present and accounted for at every workout, then I will actually workout for once! I like the idea of being in a group of people and meeting new people who have the same goals as you do, it seems like it would be a positive experience for me. I know it was/is for Sabrina. My only downside to joining is money. It costs about $80 to join, but then I would have to get better shoes and clothes, which when it comes to running are not cheap! I hate to have money stand in the way, especially when I am not hurting for money anymore, but it is something I have to consider. I need to make a decision soon, as their season starts the beginning of January.
I will make a decision by January 1st...it is my resolution!
