Circa 1986

I know that I have been missing for a week but I am back, with a vengeance! I ran into some trouble with the temperature and not having access to an indoor exercise area. I tried to lift some weights (5lb) and walked up and down my stairs a few times over the last week. Mostly I am just counting it as a week off. But, we are still one week away from the "real" training beginning so I am giving myself a little break. I am sure there will be times over the next 13 weeks where I miss or want to miss a few days and it will be good to be able to look back at this week and remember how much I really want to do this.

So, the solution, since we are still in this horrible -10 degree weather! I have acquired a Nordic Track. Thus, the heading for today's blog, Circa 1986. My parents upgraded to an elliptical machine and have brought up the good old Nordic Track for me. I know this is of the cross-training variety of exercise, but much much better than nothing. I have decided when the weather is 20 degrees or above I will be outside running. If it is below that, indoor on the Nordic Track I will be. I may end up outside in colder weather (after all that is 30 degrees higher than what we are living in now) but that is the general rule.

So, I was on the Nordic Track for 1.5 miles at a slight incline. I am excited to be back at it!!
