This morning was my late arrival day so I got up at my normal time and went jogging. GO ME! 1.5 miles is getting somewhat easier with the quicker pace, but the cooler weather made breathing a bit tough. I am going to have to invest in long sleeved tops and running pants for the cool season.
1st lap - 5:19 min - j
2nd lap - 10:44 min - j
3rd lap - 15: 44 min - j
Then I hit the gym. :) GO ME again! I was able to do 25lbs on the bicep curl and 30 for the row and the shoulder machine. I had to go back to 20 lbs for the vertical bench press and the other shoulder press though. 30 reps on each and my arms were trembling. I am still not 100% sure I am doing them right. Many of them show that you are supposed to be working your back muscles also, but I really only feel it in my arms. The leg machine that curls I did 50 lbs on, but I need help figuring out how to properly adjust that one. The lifting up I can do just fine, but the backwards curl I can't seem to get into the position where I can do it and keep my back against the seat correctly. The leg press and calf lift I did 40 lbs on. I am still failing miserably at any attempts at sit-ups or crunches. Any tips on core/ab excerises I could do would be greatly appreciated. :)

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!
