Sound of the starter pistol!
So tonight's workout went well. Didn't work out yesterday though.
30 minutes on the elliptical: 3.50 miles and burned 339 calories (I kicked ass!)
15 minutes on the regular bike: 3.24 miles and burned 66 calories
No weights tonight-had errands to run.
The first mile on the elliptical took 8mins40secs so YAY! I kept the same speed for mile 2, and then slowed a but into mile 3.
Mentioning running....the more and more I think about it the more I would like to get into running shape again. Not just a mile here or a mile there, but my first goal being to tackle a 5K perhaps by June-ish. I used to do this all the time (when I was much younger but relatively the same weight)-running roughly 10 miles a day for shits and giggles all summer and into early winter. So I am thinking, that with training I can do it again. Now, I do worry over the damage I have done to my ankles and left knee with sporting/trampoline injuries. I might see if PF has a trainer that can take a look at my knee and ankles and offer some suggestions--and I know how to wrap up my ankles well, I had LOTS of practice back in the day. SO yeah. I now have an exercise goal OTHER then my weight loss, but I do hope they will go hand in hand. I mentioned this to Eric and he said we should do the mile road race for the Ithaca Festival and I enjoy that idea. A mile should be relatively easy with some training (although the road does make it a bit rough) but setting a first goal is excellent! First running...next basketball? Lets hope!
Operation "Lindsey runs a 5K" is on!!!
