Exercise

So I've been trying to be really diligent about going and exercising. I'm trying to start running and was pointed to a great "program" to help people who are not runners get up and start running and slowly work themselves up to being able to run a 3mile/5k run.

I went M/T/Th/F last week and I've gone to the Y M/T/W of this week. Today my legs are so sore though that I'm really having to test my willpower to go and not to just stay home and take the day off. I did do some elliptical stuff on tuesday that was different than my normal elliptical workout and I think that might have been the cause of my legs being so sore yesterday when I did my "run" (90 seconds running, 90 seconds walking... over and over for 30 minutes). So today I think I'll keep it low impact and just do the elliptical with little resistance so I get the aerobic workout without having the resistance that taxes the leg muscles as much. Then maybe tomorrow with some better stretching I can do my run without getting too much pain in my thighs.

And with that...

**Poof** I'm off to change and go before I talk myself out of going... :)
