Hurricane Alex has blown in some drizzle, so instead of using that as an excuse (which I normally would) I went to the gym in my complex and used the elipticle machine. Rather than focusing solely on the distance like I do when I jog outside, I set myself a 30 minute, fat-burning routine. I love the eliptical machine! It works my arms and legs in unique ways that jogging doesn't. After jogging normally for 10 minutes, I ran backwards for 5 minutes. Plus it makes me feel good because I can go a lot further in a shorter amount of time.
1st mile - 9:30min
2nd mile - 18:20 min
3rd mile - 26:47 min
I completed the work out with a 5 minute cool down that I did backwards. I ended the session having jogged a total of 3.79 miles.
I have to admit that I am pretty darn proud of myself for getting down the gym rather than cuddling on the couch like I wanted to :)

100 miles - 2 months!
In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
