Weekend Update (week 2)

Working weekends are tough.  Getting out an running on a day off feels great, but running after a long day at work is the worst.  This weekend was one of those tough weekend.

Friday morning, I did my second progress check.  Push ups... improved by 3.  Sit ups... improved by 3.  1.5 mile run... improved by 29 seconds.  The weather had a major impact on the run as the air was cool, clear, and crisp (have I said how much I hate humidity?).

After that, I went out and paced my wife during her run on the PT test.  She had one of her better times also... especially since she dislikes running so much.

Saturday, after a long day of work, I went out and did a 5-miler.  I felt sluggish, and really couldn't enjoy the run.  Was it the effects of the day, or was it residual from the hard 1.5 miles from Friday?

Sunday morning, before work, we did our usual "fitness improvement workout".  Twelve stations of one minute exercises with 20 seconds in between.  These are designed to work the upper body, lower body, core, and total body... and boy did they.  After the workout, knowing I'd be sore later in the day, I went for 1 mile just to keep the streak alive.  Boy am I glad I did.
