I thought I had better get off my lazy butt and get out there and get in a run, I am really struggling right now to get motivated!;-( Between my back and my attitude it is really taking its toll on me. I ran out towards Mini GU corner and then back to my house which round trip is 4 miles, I ran it in 36:30 and then when I returned home I hopped on the elliptical for 25 minutes... My goal right now is to just make sure I get in at least 60 minutes of exercise each day and make that a combination of the two, running and then the elliptical, and then make sure I get my strength training in there to. My pace was around 9:00 but I progressed with each mile a little faster so I finished with an 8:25 mile. I will have to do my Strength training tonight as I ran out of time this morning, I had to take my daughter over to the high school so it kind of messed me up.

See ya tomorrow.

I felt okay this morning for a change, except for the back it was hindering me a bit. I ran out towards Payson 2 out and then 2 back, on the middle mile I picked up the pace to a sub 7:30 mile and then I slowed back down for the last mile. After the run I hopped on the elliptical for 25 minutes so between the two I had 61 minutes and then I finished up with some strength training on my upper body. All in all a pretty good workout for a change but as I'm writing this at work my back is stiff and my legs are dead... I guess no pain no gain, I just would like my back to loosen up a bit, I haven't had it this bad for awhile, in-fact years! I think it could be the in-activity of the last few months, I just need to stay consistent and I think it will get back on track again, at-least I hope it will...

See ya tomorrow.

I slept in this morning but once I woke up I decided to venture out, it was a beautiful morning just a light skiff of snow, it was pretty. I ran out and ran pretty little hill and then back to my house, the back was a little bothersome and by the end of the run my legs were pretty much whacked out! I then came in and was going to hop on the elliptical but my kids were watching Transformers so I watched it with them, it was pretty cool by the way, and then I did 15 minutes on the elliptical after the movie... Now I need to go and eat something, I am pretty hungry.

See ya on Monday.
