Enjoy the Journey

45 Min Cross Train. 15 min on Rower and 30 Min on Bike. Weights: Bench, curls, tricep pd, lat pull downs and crunches.

I just love the way I feel after this type of full body workout As I walked into the locker room the thought that popped into my head was "I have found the fountain of youth." I really do think I feel better today in my 40's than I did in my 20's and it is because of exercise.

Morning run at JD Park. Beautiful sunny weather and a light cool breeze. I had the whole park pretty much to myself except for a couple of city workers out working on the baseball fields. Spent most of the time pondering some of the real cool stuff I have been reading in a biography of Abraham Lincoln that I got for my birthday.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but my legs were still a little tender from Saturdays run. It's a bit frustrating to be that slow in recovering. Maybe I need to get better with my nutrition and more consistent sleep. I think part of the problem was Saturdays run was the first time in a long time that I was on pavement (instead of the treadmill) and also fierce winds were my enemy and hedged up my way. Couldn't be that I'm getting old...

Nice 10 miler ran at about 9pm. Started at church and looped around (2 laps) Hill Road. Nice cool evening. Not too much traffic, which was nice. Not as hilly as last week and no wind.
