Sunday Melissa and I went for a 3 mile run together. It was good.
Monday I went to Oak Marr and did the weights and then swam.
I definitely feel better since I am going to the gym. I don't think I really notice any differences though.

The Supine Press and the Hands Facing Self Press are the most awkward. It definitely helped having a list of the exercises I was going to do.

February 4th - 10th
Sunday the 6th: Run with a dog! I have been watching Maizie (Ashley's black lab) and decided the weather has finally improved and I would take the opportunity to go for a run with her. I think it was more of a jog than a run, but at least I got out there. It was nice having a dog to run with.
Slacker throughout the week. I don't remember why but it was a crazy week and I did not make time for the gym or running.
Thursday the 10th: 3rd Personal Training Session. (Or according to my receipts it was only my 2nd). Co-teacher asked if I wanted to run a 10 miler with her so I talked with my trainer. She said I need to be able to consistently run at least 3 times a week for at least 40 minutes each time. Right now it is ok if I have to walk some, I just need to get out there. She also recommended that I plan out my week in advance and write it down so I know specifically what I plan to do. So I have put all of the routines on the computer so I can make a chart and use it as a check list.
The 3rd routine focuses on legs and core. It was the first workout that I really felt it working in my core during (and after) the gym. This time I got to use a 8 lbs medicine ball. I really like the medicine ball. I wish Matt could join me at the gym so we could work together with it.
Next 7 Day Plan:
Friday 11th: Run at least 40 minutes.
Saturday 12th: Rest day.
Sunday 13th: Run at least 40 minutes.
Monday 14th: Gym
Tuesday: Run at least 40 minutes.
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Gym w/ Personal Trainer

January 28th - February 3rd
Continue to be sick.
I am struggling to get over being sick. I continue to cough a lot and it is all in my chest. I decided it would be better to rest and get healthy instead of pushing it and possibly making it worse.
Once again we have to reschedule the personal training session due to family problems on her end.

January 14th - 20th
Bad Girl - 1 day workout.
The snow on the 14th has caused us to reschedule my personal training session. As a result I have done nothing most of this week.
Thursday January 20th. 2nd Personal Trainer Session. It was a little rough due to lack of commitment on my part. The 2nd routine focuses on Arms, Legs, & Core. I definitely do not have a lot of strength in my arms. The hardest thing for me this week was the Polymetric squats & lunges. It definitely raised my heart rate quickly.
