Oh, hey Thursday!
Yesterday was my weekly weigh-in day so I hit the gym hard. I'm heading East on Sunday which means that I've only got several days to cash in my biking goal so I'm really focused on that right now. My running goal has been accomplished, but I know that distance will grow when I get back to NC - I'm really looking forward to some beautiful outdoor runs once I get there.
I got on the bike for 50 minutes, did the elliptical stair climber (since the stair master was taken) for about 10 minutes, and then worked on weights and plyometrics for about 30 minutes. I've always tried to avoid weight training because of my size - I'm afraid I will turn into a stocky little meatball if I lift anything over 10 pounds. But I've been reading about the benefits of weight training in this month's Women's Health and saw a segment yesterday on the Today Show about it and now I'm not as convinced that moderate weight training will make me look like a meathead. But I'm still keeping it at an arm's distance.
Anyway, I got a good calorie burn in and got back home just in time to watch the Tarheels beat Georgia Tech (woo!). Pretty great day if you ask me.
