Day 2

Well today I really wanted to go back to bed and felt like I should have all day.  However I got up @ 5:15am and did a 30 minute cardio on the elliptical and lifted some weights, not much just lat pull downs and chest press.  I also did some abs. 
I was sore today because of the run yesterday.  You really don't realize how much you use your abdominal muscles while running.  Well another early morning tomorrow.  good luck with your workouts!!

Getting Started

Well I finally got started running again.  I decided that I have to start somewhere and began today.  Planned on running this morning but you know how days off go so I finally ran at 2pm around Natomas.  I wore my old running shoes, yoga pants, and a long sleeve dry fit from coaching soccer in North Dakota.  I ran for 30 minutes, not sure how many miles I ran though.  I started out strong at a decent pace but I defiantly slowed down after about 10 minutes.  I ran on an awesome bike trail here in the Sacramento area which is so nice and will be a great rollerblading trail on my cross training days :).  However after about 10 minutes I ended up on a dirt trail in this park next to the river.  I continued on that trail in a loop through the coolest large trees, wish I brought by camera!! 

I also saw a family riding their bikes and the little boy was so funny he fell then got back on and I asked him if he was having fun and he said “NO” with a rotten face on, Lol.   Then I saw the cutest dog which I think was a boxer/pit mix pushing around a toy dump truck around the park (so cute).

  Well as the run went on I got slower and kind of tired then my headach started to come on around 25 minutes so I finished out with the headache and hope that it was caused by the cold or something other than running.  Who knows but it felt good to get back running.  Tomorrow I am going to sign us up for the fun run in Elk Grove in two weeks.  Hope I can finish 3 miles in 30 minutes by then but who knows how far I went today the trail did not have mile markers.  Next time I will know!!!
