1 hour on the elliptical, 30 minutes of weights.  Probably the hardest I've worked out with weights in years.  I'm going to be sore tomorrow.  But I'll get buff. 

That's my New Years Resolution,  to get buff.

60 minutes on the elliptical, 45 minutes of weights.  For some reason the gym was extremely crowded today.  I'm not sure why,  it's just a Tuesday.

I've gained 7 lbs since I stopped running 2 weeks ago, I'm hoping it's from all the muscle I've gained lifting weights.

I decided this year was starting off very badly since I haven't logged any real running miles, and also decided that I'd rather run slow than not at all.

18 minutes on the elliptical then I got on the treadmill to give my leg a try.  I set the treadmill to 7 mph and incline to 3%.  I ended up doing a progressive incline workout, keeping the speed the same but increasing the incline 0.5% every mile so I ended up doing the last mile at 6% (which was pretty brutal)  Leg felt fine the whole time, and I felt like I got a really good workout.  If my calculations are correct that comes to 1,478' of vertical climb over the 7 miles.

7 miles in 60 minutes 8:34 avg pace.

30 minutes of weights in an even more crowded gym than yesterday.

I am now officially signed up for the BigHorn 50 Miler, I see a lot more hill workouts in my future.

My 12% hill climb will just have to wait, I got on the elliptical this morning and even it was hurting my leg so I decided to try swimming.  I haven't gone to the pool this week cause I was afraid it was going to be crowded and I hate sharing lanes, but when I got there I was the only one there, and I actually had the entire pool to myself the whole time.  

40 laps in 43 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of weights, now I'm at work way to early.

Here's kind of a funny story,   I bought some new Nike Free's and finally threw out my old Live Strongs.  Well, this morning (while swimming) I was thinking about tracking my running cadence again and realized that my Garmin Foot pod was left in my Free's that I threw away.  I'm really quite upset about it.

Yep, you guessed it.  1 hour on the elliptical, 30 minutes of weights.

Apparently New Years resolution people only resolved to workout Monday though Friday cause the Gym was empty, very nice.
