:hi: Good morning!

Today I spent 35 minutes on the elliptical, and then went into the weight room to work on my legs.

1. I did my mile today
and I amped up my speed to about 3.3/mph. I want to get up to 3.5 mph first and then to a pace where I can jog a little.

I swear it's the best wake up ever and I'm the most nonmorning person you'll ever meet.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

2. it really is a good wake up
the stickler for me is that I have a 45 minute drive to get to my gym (which is at work) so I guess I'm driving to work w/o being really awake :silly:


keep at it!!!!!

3. Leg work today
I'm making some considerable strength gains, managed 225lb squat for 8 reps so I was quite pleased. I'm closing in on my new years goals already! My lower back is feeling stiff, so I went lighter on the deadlifts to try and work on my form. I seem to have a tendency to hunch my back about 3/4's through the motion which isn't incorrect form and could possibly lead to injury.

Deadlifts get the abs pretty good, so I skipped that, and did a 20 minute HIIT session on the bike and am pooped.
