A new favorite thing...

Before I tell you about my new favorite thing, let me tell you about my workouts the past couple of days...

Yesterday I was scheduled to do a 6 mile run plus my weights.  Since it was in the single digits again in the morning, I decided to just do my run on a treadmill at the gym.  But first, I did my strength training: legs and shoulders.  Tuesday's workout is a tough one.  I have 11 exercises to do and any time you work legs, it's much more exhausting than any other lifting.  After I finished my legs and shoulders, I got on a treadmill and ran for an hour.  I didn't quite make it 6 miles because I took a few walking breaks, but almost.

Today I had my bicep/tricep/calves workout.  I went to the gym alone today, since Chris is on night-shift now and had worked late and was too tired to get up and go early with me.  It took me a little over an hour to do my weights, then I moved on to cardio...which brings me to my new favorite thing: running stairs at the stadium!!  It's kind of serene there.  The lights are dim, there are few, if any, other people around and I can just put on my music and focus on nothing else but getting up and down those stairs.  I ran for a little over 50 minutes and made it through the stadium 3 times.  I felt I had a little more stamina than last week, and not quite as much quivering in my calves.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow...
