Looks like the Sun is supposed to show it's face today and tomorrow w/ temps breaking 50 both days. Have to jump on the bike and/or take a jog outside...I haven't ran outside, ever really, except for about 20 min last year at the high school and that was really rough. Last night was our running session. There was a track meet going on so we were unable to use the gym and they found out they needed a permit to use the outside track so we went over the basic fundamentals of running...what muscles do what, what our cadence should be, what part of the foot to use, how we should swing our arms....just lots of good info. Our coach Tom has done quite a few Tri's and I believe an Ironman or two? I forget...but he knows what he's talking about which is cool. I lifted before class yesterday w/ the new program...nice to finally mix up my lifting. I've read you should do this every 3 months so I'm close to target. This is recommended cause your body can figure out what your doing and if you do the same stuff over and over you'll begin to see less and less results. So switching it up is good. The only thing I think that would be an improvement to the lifting routine would be to go from muscle group to muscle group to keep the HR up and to minimize the "sitting around & waiting" thing that happens when you work the same group in one session. Anyways it's all good.
Half day of work today, pto...have to return to the home project this weekend.

Thanks for your comments, helped a lot. Turns out I'm a drama queen and made a big fuss for nothing (lesson was learned...although I'm sure it's only learned until the next time).
A good way that I do my lifting are exercises that use multiple muscle groups in one exercise, it keeps my heart rate up and I'm done my lifting in a 1/2 hour. I'm jealous of your running session, I know that I could use that!
