La firm


Well, Tuesday I ended up doing butt and legs with the firm. A great leg day and I had the next day to show for it...I could barely walk around!


Wednesday I worked my second job and had no time for working out…I was physically exhausted!


Thursday I made it up with a 5 mile tm run at Gold’s. Yes, that is right…I’m back at Gold’s. I really like it there…I have not committed yet, but I am pretty sure I am going to do a month to month. I will also check out Bally’s and Baileys though before signing on. I did abs after I ran, but felt I was kinda antsy to get out of there and get on with my night. I would like to go into a little more detail about my runs from now on so I can keep in track of my progress. I started out with a five minute walk warm-up at 4.0, then I went on to a 6.5 for approximately 2 miles and then 7.0 until I reached 3.75 miles, when I picked up the speed to 7.5 and finished off at 4.75 with a cool down in increments the same way I went up...until I reached 5 miles when I slowed to a walk at 4.0 again. Clock was at 44 minutes when I got to five miles, which isn't to back considering the 4.0 pace warm-up for five minutes in the beginning. All together running, I averaged about a 8.5 minute mile for the majority of the run. The tempo was very good though, and it makes the run a lot harder than a straight run at the same pace. Looking forward to hitting the trails soon!
