April 6, 2011 - another workout day
I went to work out last night at the gym and did 2 minutes running/2 minutes walking. Yes! We are up that far. I toned it down to 4.8 running and 3.4 walking. About 15 minutes into my workout, 2 girls came to the treadmills to my right. Did a workout similar to mine, except they are on the 1 min run and 2 min walk. They found it on the internet. I said its the exact type of exercise program that the 5K training group is doing. I introduced myself to them. One was Norma and the other I think was Janelle (I couldn't hear because of the noise). They were nice. I decided every week I am going to introduce myself to someone - hoping eventually when I go to the gym I will at least get a hello, I met you last week!. I had a good treadmill workout. I did do the 2 min run/2 min walk the entire 30 minutes this time. I haven't been doing that previously because I wanted to follow the 1.5 mile schedule. This time I keep going for 2.5 miles. I was actually ok with it.
No progress slide yet. This week I am exactly 15% progress and next Friday when I log in, I will utilize the progress slide on the goals.
Tomorrow is group exercise - hopefully it will go better than last week. I will just take the 2 min run on a slower notch tomorrow. Im hoping I can continue after the 3rd time we are running. Its still 1.5 this weel (I think next week its 2.5 miles - will be at that mileage for about 3 weeks so it will get evenutally easier). you know what its doing here, snowing. April 6! OK, you southern states DS friends, quit hogging mother natures nice weather and have her come up here with it. ASAP! I am sick of seeing 35 - 40 degrees.

You are doing great with your workouts. You will be in shape in no time. It\'s a good idea to introduce yourself to someone when you are at the gym. That way you get to know people. Good luck with group exercise.
