The Great Outdoors



I've been working out almost 6-7 days a week now. Angry Husband says that I need to vary my routine. I usually go on the treadmill in our garage or I go to my local 24 Hour Fitness. I'm scheduled to do about 4 more 5K runs this year, so I'm kinda in training.

AH says that my body is not conditioned to the hard surfaces of sidewalks and asphalt. This is why I suck when I'm running my 5K's. So I took it to the great outdoors this morning.

I strapped on my water bottle holder, along with my cellphone. I then placed my lovely ipod on and went on my way.

I did 80 minutes of walking/running outside this morning. I was able to check out all the neighborhoods. I saw tons of people walking their dogs. People had babies in strollers walking too.

I think I might have to do this more often. Although my allergies are killing me right now!!

Oh, and the picture above is a photo taken of the lake in my homeowner's association. I walked all around this bridge and lake.

  2. You go girl! I'm doing my first 5K of the season on Sunday.

    I find that running outdoors is sooo much different than a treadmill! (I prefer the outdoors!)
