Today’s exercise routine was a bit of a struggle since I did so much yesterday. However, I did manage to get in a good workout at the gym despite my hectic, full day with the kids, work and the house. Really, having those things is what motivates me to exercise because it keeps my stress level low and helps me manage things a little better. Exercise is my therapy.
Today I did 20 minutes on the Stairmaster and an hour of weights in the Body Pump class at the gym. It was a very good workout and I’m sure I’ll feel it in the morning! At any rate, I’m proud of myself for getting in a workout despite “life” happening and tomorrow I’m planning on doing the same.
Tomorrow is my scheduled day for a 3-mile run and I’m pretty excited about it. I’m feeling pretty good and taking things slow so we’ll see how it goes.
As for races, there is a 5K coming up this weekend, but I think I’ll pass on it. Although it’s only 3.1 miles, I’m not feeling up to a race just yet. I really don’t feel like getting “hyped” so I’ll just stay low-key and build slowly. The next race I will do will be the 8K at Ross Bridge Spa in September, so I’m certain I’ll be ready then. That’s about 4.97 roughly, or rather 5 miles. Also, September is my birthday month so it will be one of my “gifts” to myself…that’s if my husband puts a spa package with it also!
I hope you got YOUR exercise in today. Care to share what you did? Let’s all hang in there!!
