4 miles after work - about 2 of them with the dog, the rest alone.  Worked on keeping my heart rate in the 65-75% range. Shot hoops for 25 minutes, the last 15 with my son.  I almost beat him in HORSE today, but he sunk a lucky shot from about 8 feet behind the 3 point line and I don't have the arm strength to do that.

After dinner - 20 second fitness video. 45 minutes upper body workout. 10 minutes stretching.

RHR 54.

1 mile warmup with the dog this morning.  20 second workout segment.  More after work.

2 mile speed walking at lunch.

4 miles running in the evening.  The last mile my ankle started bothering me on uphills, so I walked the two uphills.  Did my Card Deck workout while watching Biggest Loser.

Was able to finally drag my not-so-skinny butt out of bed and get a run done before 6 a.m.  Hope to do a leg workout tonight.

RHR - 51

Wasn't too motivated last night and worked late.  Just did two sessions of the 20 second workout videos.

RHR - 49

Heart rate seems to be dropping satisfactorily.  Ankle a little sore today - so have the brace on at work.  I will bike for cardio today.

Been working out hard and eating well and dropped 6 pounds this week (sure a lot of it was water weight).

Yay - saw my name on the St. George Marathon list for a minute before it crashed the site!  So - I went and signed up for the Pony Express Trail 100 - 50 Mile race.

PM - 60 minutes hard on the stationary bike keeping my heart rate at a high aerobic rate.  50 minutes leg weight training.  Another session of 20 second fitness. Stretching.  I'm tired now!
