wojelahBack to the gym, FINALLY! Work buddy and I are committed to going before work MWF, and the most awesome smittywing of the killer ab exercises has shown interest in a weekend workout. So yay, all the way around. I think I may attempt to fill the interstices with yoga DVDs.
I found last time that keeping a tally really, really helped - so feel free to ignore anything that's tagged "running," if this bores you to tears.

Today:
30 minutes on the treadmill: first 4.5 min walking at 2.0 mph; run .5 min at 2.5 mph. Next 10 minutes: walk 4.5 at 2.3 mph, run .5 min at 2.5 mph. Then: walk 4 min at 2.3 mph, run 1 min at 2.5 mph. Then walk 4 min at 2.3 mph, run 3 min at 2.5 mph, walk 3 min at 2.0 mph. I have to relearn all the tricks - keeping my shoulders down, back straight, etc. - but my body sort-of remembers them, and I don't feel horribly awkward when I shift into running, so my muscular memory's not all gone. YAY.
Then: 30 crunchy ab lift things, and 30 reps each of 5 different arm exercises = thank god for ergonomic keyboards.
Next time: going to try to run for a full minutes the whole way through, and then hold steady until this level starts feeling comfortable.
