Three in a row

I have now exercised for three straight days (let's hope that a habit is being formed.) I walked around the neighborhood tonight. It was pretty cold, but that just means less sweating !! I walked a bit farther than I did yesterday on the treadmill, 0.86 miles. My knee didn't like the hills so much, especially going down hill, but it was bearable. The 800mg Ibuprofen the Dr. prescribed helped out too :-)

Since I am closing tomorrow, and the Gym closed at 5:00, I will rest tomorrow. I plan on walking even farther on Sunday, on top of taking down all of the outside Christmas Lights, so it should be a pretty good day.

2 for 2

We despite my Job's best effort to get me off track, I made it back to the Gym tonight. I had to work late (almost 10pm.) this evening to get caught up on some work. But I changed into my workout clothes as soon as the store closed, so I didn't have an excuse not to go.

I am building up my walking on the treadmill, I walked 3/4 of a mile (up from a 1/2 last night.) I also did 60 crunches and some leg work, to try and strengthen my knee.

The Peak Fitness in Harrisburg is no longer open 24 hours :-( They close at 11pm Monday through Friday, so I should still be able to make it after work when I am on the closing shift.

I plan on walking the neighborhood Friday and Saturday or Sunday (since the Gym will be closed.) So pray for no rain for the next three days !!

Found the Gym

After some extensive searching on Google Maps I found where the Gym is located ;-) and discovered that the will in fact let me come inside. It was very busy tonight (all the New Years resolution people.) I realized how out of shape I had gotten in the past two months. I walked a 1/2 mile on the treadmill at a pretty slow pace. I also did 40 crunches and 30 back extensions. I am going to gradually build myself back up to full workouts. It was nice to get back there, and making the time to go. I have all my work out gear ready to go for tomorrow, so I should be 2 for 2. Wish me luck !
