exercise...what's that? my treadmill has become like a distant relative that I haven't seen in a while. before I laid off around october, I was doing about 20-25 miles a week. it's not a ton, but it was a good amount. the beginning of November saw me stop completely, which was a bad idea!!!
so now I have started on the treadmill again, which is what I was doing last year at this time. I have put about 20 pounds back on, but at 180, I am still 110 pounds lighter than when my son was born...
anyway, I am going to try to get between 5-10 miles a week for the next two weeks, and then start to increase. My goals are to:
1. shave some time off my 5k PR
2. run the Rochester half marathon in September.
3. get down to at least 170.
4. get back to 20-25 miles week by May
I'll keep you posted...

It's tough this time of year, with the holidays, cold weather and snow. All that walking during parade season is a real plus! I'm an avid bike rider in warm weather, but I'm simply not motivated to ride in the cold. So I've been using an elliptical last winter and this winter. I love it! Of all the different non-biking forms of exercise I've tried, this is the only one that motivates me. Works even better when I put headphones on and listen to music.
