I got up at 5:00 this morning and did Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred, level 1, with 3 lb. weights before I drove my son to early-morning seminary. After I got back home, I went out for my run. I plan to do both the shred, or some other weight lifting, as well as running on Tuesdays, Thursdays (once I start running on Thursdays, making it 6 days/week), and Saturdays. I plan to move up from 5 days a week to 6 days a week next week. There. Now I've said it so I'll have to do it.

In any case, my average pace today was 10:59. Splits were 11:07, 11:10, and 10:40.

And I'm even going to be on time to work (at least as much as I ever am).

Good workout day for you! I like my 6 day a week schedule and I hope you find it works well too. It's only one more day, but I think it makes a big difference. I feel more fit, and I question my runs less, if that makes any sense. Like flossing, it's just a part of daily life, except that one day. My day off is usually Saturday, and it almost feels weird not to have a run that day. I hope you experience a similar increase in fitness and motivation from going 6 days. Oh- one more thing: my DH used to get confused about my schedule and always asked "are you running tomorrow?" which made me feel like running was not "normal." With a 6 day schedule, he doesn't ask anymore. Just like flossing! :)

I've been exercising 6 days a week for a long time, just not running 6 days a week. I was running 4 days a week and doing resistance exercises 3 days a week (one day was both), and then about 3 weeks ago, I added a 5th day of running and tried to keep the 3 days of resistance, though I haven't done very well at that. I'm trying to recommit myself to getting the resistance work in and I'm waiting until next week to add the 6th day of running instead of doing it this week because of my race on Saturday.

I'm interested to see what happens with my running after I make the move to 6 days/week and keep it up for a while.

My DH also used to always ask me whether I was running the next day and now that I run almost every day, he has pretty much stopped.

I agree that making it a daily habit, like flossing, is a good thing. Besides improving your fitness, it's easier to keep at it if it's just what you do with no excuses.

My day off is always Sunday.
