Running Accomplishments:

Biggest running accomplishment has been to simply start running and love it!  I've always been an athlete, but running was just one of those things done for conditioning because I was compelled to do it :).  My love for running (because I chose it) began in April of 2009 and I haven't stopped since!

Cross Train Day:

  • 60 minutes of spin

  • 40 minutes of TRX (my first time) just using the TRX strap...nothing off the strap which i understand is a mixture when you have 24 people in a class.
  • Let's just say may arms are sore and a few leg spots as well today (day after), but it was a great workout!
  • 4 miles on the track
  • = three great workouts today.
