I've been working out all summer.  I will bike to the gym, work out, and bike home.  School started up again so I can't pull that off, but I hope to at least keep up 3 times a week at the gym.

Nice. That's the life.


I think I'm finally getting back into things. I set my first post surgery personal record, a 5k in 26:57. It has been so hard though rebuilding the momentum.

It was.  
I think 25 minutes is the best I ever did for 5k.

so my current workout is a mixture of strength, cardio, balance, and flexibility.   ..but it's pretty heavy on strength.  even though different work outs focus on different areas it can still be hard to do them 4-5 days in a row.   plus i decided that my current routine never really does sustained cardio.  it's always in 20, 30, 60 second bursts.   

Anyways, last week i did a run in place of a normal workout.   there is a park no so far away that has a loop that is 0.7 miles around in a nice area.  natural fields and forests.  it's exactly 1.5 miles to get there so i'll have a lot of flexibility on how long of a run i want.   3+0.7x miles.  

last week i did just the 3 miles.  i didn't want to overdue it on my first run and my main goal was just to not stop (walk) too many times.   i did the entire 3 miles without stops.   i started pretty slow and at the half way mark i even picked it up a step because i didn't feel like i was pushing myself hard enough.  i didn't time myself but i did the 3 miles in the 30-35 min range.

today my target was 3.7 miles.   i started my run at the higher pace too.  i did not make it.  i had to stop after 2.8 miles.   but this time i timed myself and i did those 2.8 miles in 27'30".  nothing to brag about but i feel pretty good about that for my second run ever.

I need to start doing some running. I love rowing on a concept2 rowErg though. Tried to do that 5 to 6 days a week and then a few strength training days as well

Hey that's pretty good! Great that you're getting into running.
