I just realized that this was the last running day of this exercise program and tomorrow is my last day period. It’s kind of exciting because I didn’t realize I was so close to being done. I still have not yet decided what I’ll be doing, but I’ll announce my plan tomorrow when I figure it out. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 19 – My Last Running Day

Exercise Program: Day 18 – Light Strength Training

January 26th, 2010As you know, today was a cardio day for me and my goal was to run for 30 minutes straight. I’m getting back into running, so my focus right now is to increase my endurance.

January 19th, 2010I was so frustrated today because midrun, my iPod died. I had only run for about seven minutes and then boom, everything went silent.
I’m one of those people that can’t really run without listening to music, unless I’m really stressed and have a lot on my mind. Today wasn’t extraordinarily bad because it just so happened I had a lot on my mind, so I could entertain myself. » Read more: Exercise Program: Day 12 – iPod Death
Exercise Program: Day 11 – New Fitness Workout Sheet
January 18th, 2010After working out today, I realized I needed to make a quick change to fitness workout sheet you can download off this blog.
