So, I've been MIA from the blog ever since I became pregnant.  I always have the best intentions when it comes to working out through my pregnancies, but the first trimester always wipes me out. I've been running a bit, even entering a couple 5ks, but I want to be more consistent.  So, I decided to start blogging workouts again.  It gives me some accountability.  Plus, maybe other women would be interested in reading my pre-natal workouts.  My workouts from this point out will probably be a combination of running and cross-training, until the running gets too painful.

Today I did a 40 minute interval workout on the elliptical; 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off for 10 sets.  I followed that up with a 4 mile run on the treadmill at a 7:33 average.  My biggest problem is that my blood sugar seems to tank around an hour of cardio, so I may have to make sure that I have some gus with me.  I took the kids to get jamba juices after my workout.  My jamba was heavenly after working out.

4.5 miles on the SLCC loop, followed by 45 minutes on the spinning bike.  The bike ride was relatively mellow.  I thought I would watch some Olympics while I rode, but the only thing on at 6 a.m was water polo between Montengro and Hungary.  Not too exciting.
