Suffice to Say

That I have a lot to catch up on.

I've been in such a RUT lately. Workouts seem boring, runs lost their appeal and the heat and humidity SUCK. So I was down, not being very vigilant in my workouts and of course, i've gained 5 lbs.

DAMN!!!!

I didn't realize this until I stepped on the scale today. I broke my rut yesterday with a 4 mile buddy run with Jenny (feetoffancy.wordpress.com) and then a mile run back to the office up 17th street. The D.C. humidity made it feel like absolute torture, but in a good way (if that makes any sense at all). 5 miles in about an hour and 15 minutes isn't terrible, so i'll take it.

Today was a different story. I'm following the Army 10 miler training program, so I know i needed to get some cardio in. So I did a mile warm up on the treadmill, then 30 minutes on the elliptical, another mile on the treadmill, and then cool down on the rowing machine. It was nice to bounce around to the different machines and my knees were happy from the break.

I've started taking another class- Bodypump, but i'll talk about that on a later date. I really want to get into the class before commenting on it. I can't really give an accurate portrayal of the class until I can get through it without feeling like i'm going to die.

I am not going to weigh myself for at least 2 weeks- that way i can get back into my running routine. I'm pretty sure that once i add in the weights, the lbs will start coming off again. *fingers crossed!*
