« Workout Round Up, Plus a Personal Best! | Main | Monthly Fitness Goal: February Recap »

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

I am having a hard time getting motivated to work out this month. So far I've worked out 13 of 23 days, which is okay I guess, but it's been a real struggle to get myself to the gym. I'm going to have trouble meeting my monthly workout goal for February (to log 50 miles), plus I had wanted to do more strength training this month. I haven't gone to Body Pump at all this month, once because of snow (couldn't get the car out of the garage and I'm not even sure the gym was open), once because I was out too late the night before, and once because we had a wedding-related meeting in the morning... and this weekend, I'm out of town.

I really hope March is a better month as far as working out. I'm going to start to get into the tougher parts of my 10-miler and half-marathon training, but I don't want to slack off on strength training like I did last time I trained for the 10-miler. My legs can push through a little soreness from lunges and deadlifts... I just need to do it!

Latest workouts:
February 20: 5.6 mile run (1 hour, plus 2 minute cool down)
February 22: strength training (I had planned to get a run in, but all the treadmills were taken for the entire time I was at the gym.)
February 23: 5.3 mile run (1 hour, plus 2 minute cool down)
