Today was a core workout.  I did the core workout designed by Scott Herman.  My abs are killing me now but it will be worth it!!

Thursday January 6th, 2011

Today was a run day.  I'm struggling to find  places to run in Worcester with the snow on the ground and no carriage road to run on.  Worcester doesn't seem to be a super runner friendly place...oh well they are stuck with me!!!

Distance:  3.5 mi
Time:  no watch but felt good

Wed Jan 5th, 2011: P90X

Today's workout consisted of P90X:  Core Synergistics.  I'm going to be sore after this workout...I need to become better about the strength training with my workouts.

Tues Jan 4th, 2011: it's a new year and about time

Well there hasn't been much blogging because the running has been so spiratic.  Nursing school killed my hard training schedule and even when I did run I just did not have time to write about it. It took some butt kicking from a good friend today to help motivate me out the door but out I went.  And it felt great...hmm maybe I should do this more often!  I even began to plan a workout for tomorrow...maybe a lift?  Yes all of my personal training friends - time just froze!  I might voluntarily go do a lift workout.  (ok I'm not making any promises yet but I am working on the motivation).

Distance:  4 miles
Time:  didn't wear a watch
Route:  new route in worcester up the nasty hill down Plantation and back
Weather:  sunny low 30's
