Yesterday I went on a 35 minute run through the neighborhood. It was a beautiful afternoon to run, it was cooler then it has been and the dogs enjoyed the time to get out. Since the bridge 10K is only 50 days away (eek!), I run up and down as many hills as I could find and today my legs feel awesome. I changed my running stride based on some research that I did (coupled with the barefoot running movement) so my legs have definitely benefited from the new stride. I am still wearing my nice comfy Saucony shoes, but the change in stride has done wonders for my leg fatigue.
Being back into the routine of work has been nice, back to hitting the gym and getting in my weight training again. I've got a new app on my phone that has help me set up two weight lifting routines, one for arms and back and one for legs and abs. I'm so used to just wandering around the gym going "hmmm....which exercise do I want to do next?" Now I have a little more structure with the lifting so I'm looking forward to making real progress on the toning.
I went out shopping with my mom today and I used to hate shopping for clothes years ago because nothing fit, nothing looked good except for tents. Now I have a shape, clothes fit, and I can look presentable.
Health and wellness is awesome :-)
