Such a long neglected blog. In September, I joined the gym on campus. I run on the treadmill over my lunch hour. It is better than nothing but it is very rushed and I am frequently late getting back. On the plus side though, I can already see improvements in my fitness. The first time I had difficulty I couldn't do 3 miles at an 11 minute pace but now I have cut it down to around 10:20 on good days. I look at old running logs and I see some sub 9 minute runs. It would be great to get back to where I could complete 4 miles in the 35 minute treadmill time.
I am also making use of the iTrain podcasts. The ones that I have been using are 20-25 minutes long - perfect for a lunch hour. I have only done the beginner workouts but they are quite challenging for me.
The pushups and squats have gone by the wayside. I plan to get back on the push-up horse soon. I really like the way it makes me feel - and the way it makes my arms look.
