Last week I took as a warm up week to try and get myself up to 5k shape. Not sure if I am 100% there yet but its time to start with the actual training. I Decided to use the book that is listed off to the right under the Amazon links called “The Non-Runner’s Marathon Trainer” as my guide. I can’t really tell you how the book is so far mainly cause I am only on chapter one. I decided to read just one chapter per week. Chapter one in the book is week one in training. Chapter 2 is week 2, and so on. I am subscribing by the slow and steady one day at a time philosophy. Last thing I need to see right now is that I will have to be running X amount of miles in week _____(fill in the blank).

It was suggested I post my workout routine for others to see. The gym routine is from Stronglifts.  I pretty much follow that to a T. As for my running I decided to create a Google Calendar that I will update with what I have done and/or will do for the week. Nothing special just a quick blurb. If you are interested check out the link at the top of the page called “Workout Calendar“

I got up early this morning to meet my brother at the gym, but both of us were WAY tired.  We were shoveling gravel in the heat this past weekend so I don’t feel too guilty that we bailed on they gym and went and grabbed a bite to eat and some coffee.  Plus we are going to the gym tomorrow to make up for it.

I am still running tonight.
