Run 40 min

First, I must tell you why it's been a few days since my post. I was in Washington DC for Altitude Chamber training at Andrews Air Force Base. It was a great class, but even better trip. Greg and I visited with our good friends Tina and Jimmy Blain. Then we walked around for 5 hours in DC on Wednesday to see all of the sites. It was very emotional walking through Arlington National Cemetery. The monuments were beautiful and awe inspiring. It was wonderful!

So, on to the work outs. I'll highlight it by days...

Sunday: I was going to swim 30 min, bike 30 min, then run 30 min. However, the 50 min run on Saturday hurt my back. So, I swam for 40 minutes... going over 1 mile! It was great!

Monday: I did some weight training at the lovely and scenic Comfort Inn at Andrews AFB.

Tuesday: I hoped on the stationary bike for 30 minutes EARLY in the morning. I fit it in right before class, which was a good thing since I couldn't exercise for 12 hours after the altitude chamber.

Wednesday: We walked for over 5 hours around DC. I felt it in my jello legs last night.

Thursday: I ran for a wonderful 40 minutes today. It felt so good!! I can really feel a big difference in my legs. My breathing is so much better. I just felt good! I also did some gardening, so worked those hamstrings out :)

Tomorrow is a rest day, and I'm taking it. I see my chiropractor tomorrow, and figure I need to give my back some TLC. My mom and I are also going to a local talk show taping tomorrow. It should be fun.

I hope your week has been great so far!
