Workout Room

The weather is just to bad to be out running in it. I went to the workout center here inside ALT.

I spent 20 minutes on the elptical (if that's what you call it) machine. Then I spent 10 minutes going the opposite way with my legs. I like this machine because it's kind of like running, but without the harsh impact. Lately my knees have started giving me trouble. Just a little bit of trouble, but I'm taking it as a huge warning sign.
The last thing I want to be is a runner with bad knees.

I hate to say it, but I need to cut back on my trips to third gate. Maybe my lungs are ready for 10+ miles, but my legs certainly are not! I will need to strengthen them up first.
After my little bit of cardio, I worked on my arms. Then I focused on my legs and abs. Not to much weight, but plenty of reps. I rounded out the hour with stretching.
If I'm going to achieve my goal of running a marathon someday, I need to be smart. I need to know what I'm doing. I need to learn how to train properly. That means I have to incorporate strength training and cross training for overall success.
