Week 1 Day 2

Worked out in the gym on base today after work for 45 minutes of strength training. Knowing I was going to run I went very light on the legs, and concentrated on upper body and abs.

Then a quick shirt change while driving, and I headed over to Onelife fitness and jumped on the Eliptical. I didn't want to burn my legs out, so I went very light, raising my heart rate enough to matter, but keeping the resistance down enough not to wear myself out.

After diner and a bit of relaxing, I changed cloths, and stretched out. It was not dark yet, but wasn't really bright out, and there was a fair amount of traffic on the road, but for the most part it was a good time. I did knock my Zune out of my packet once, I'll have to remember to grab my armband out of the car for next time.

My right ankle began hurting right before the half way point, but seemed to loosen up a little after a few minutes of running/ walking. I did well, and think I am ready for week 2, but I won't skip ahead. Staying with the program, and keeping motivated are going to be needed in the weeks ahead.
