Update

First of all, can I say that the upcoming forecast makes me want to crawl into a warm hole and sleep until spring... I cannot handle this sudden change of seasons. I need a slow transition into winter, not the possibility of snow in October!! Yuck.

Here's the update of my workouts: last night I did Monday night's workout but I did it twice. This means that I walked 10 minutes, then did one minute intervals for the next 10 minutes (mainly between 5.6 and 5.8 mph) then I walked 5 minutes and did the 10 minute one minute intervals again before cooling down. My hamstrings and inner thighs were on fire every time I ran! At least the soreness had gone down a lot by yesterday. Today I did the scheduled Wednesday workout, which consisted of 10 minutes of walking and 15 minutes of one minute intervals. I kept the speed about the same as yesterday. Then I cooled down and Lynn met me to go to Pump. This time around was even more difficult than the first time because some muscles were still tight and sore. I almost couldn't finish lunges and my legs were shaking ever time we dead lifted during the back track. But I made it through! And Lynn made it with me, even though she is recovering from being sick. Hopefully she stays on the track of getting healthy so she can go back with me next week! Tomorrow I am taking the day off, I have to take Gracie to puppy class and finish up some homework. Friday will be the next workout... the schedule does seem to be getting more difficult but this could be because I have been so sore and tight the past couple days. I can't wait til the pain goes away and I can truly assess my progress.

Maybe Lynn will start a workout blog... and give me even more motivation!
Good work on the running goals and going back to pump. You are doing excellent.
