Running, running, running....

I was too tired to post last night.  I was super pooped....I was up and out the door at 5:15 headed for the gym.  I ran/walked 20 minutes on the treadmill - which is a big deal for me....Brina and treadmills don't mix.  I prefer to run outside for a number of reasons:
1. I'm not running in place and get to see things (which makes me feel like runs are shorter).
2. The treadmill is a killer on the knees and shins (mine anyway)
3. The sound of me running is not as loud as on the treadmill (lol). 

So you would think that I would just run outside and be happy....well, I can't right now.  I ran outside the other night and had my first asthma attack in almost 6 years....it was to cold.  My lungs said absolutely not!  So for the sake of lung & life I'm running on the treadmill until warmer mornings.

Back to yesterday's workouts - so 20 minutes on the treadmill at a sucky pace and 10 minutes on the elliptical at a a super pace and then home for 20 minutes of Pilate's (buns & thighs and stretching) and I was ready to start my day!

I had a great day at work...accomplishing all sorts of things and then it was back to the gym for my weight training.  Yesterday's workout was chest and triceps.  It was a pretty good workout but I was so tired that we didn't do our boxing or abs. 

Chest & Triceps
Chest Press with 25lb dumbbells for 1 set and 30lb dumbbells for 2 sets - 3 sets of 10
Incline Press 3 sets of 10 @ 55lbs
Decline Press 3 sets of 10 @ 70lbs (35lb plates on each side)
Pec Fly 3 sets of 10 @ 45lbs (worked one side at a time)

Triceps
Skull crushers 20lbs
kickbacks 15lbs
cable extension 3 sets of 10 @ 70lbs
Tricep extension 3 sets of 10 @ 60lbs

After the gym I went home and defrosted my stuffed pepper soup, showered and went to bed - I was asleep by 9:45 (my goal is to be in bed by 9:00).  Oh I forgot to mention all of my meals - breakfast (slim fast), lunch - turkey flat bread sandwich from subway & water, snack - banana, preworkout drink, and then the pepper soup.

This morning I did 24 minutes of interval running on the treadmill....I was pretty proud of myself.  I worked pretty hard and am on my way to getting back into running shape.  In a couple of weeks I should be were I want to be as far as progress. 

I've got a few things to get done today before heading to the gym - work & tutor a student and then it is back to the gym where we are doing cardio, abs, and a little pre boxing boxing....lol!
