Gym fun

Wait, did I really say "fun"? 

I really am enjoying my time at the gym as a regular.  I have a personal trainer but really don't think I'm going to see her weekly like she wants.  :)  I am doing the strength exercises - especially the core - on my own and loving it.  I am happy to know the right way to do them.

My running/training schedule is as follows:

Sun = Run (unless I ran on Saturday - see Saturday!)
Mon = Strength/Stretch/short run
Tues = Run
Wednesday = Short run or Cross-train
Thursday = Run
Friday = Rest
Saturday = Cross Train (or run...I get excited to run Saturday morning)

Every day is some kind of core exercise and/or foam roll.  And that schedule isn't set in stone.  But it boils down to 4-5 run days a week.  And THIS is why I bought new shoes!

They're great - I've only used them once but it made a huge difference in my run.  I also bought an extra arch support because my arches are pretty low and I liked it.  Can't wait to run...oh...must run tomorrow!
