On track

After Month One (November) of my "Phase One: Increase General Fitness" plan ended up being a FAIL (I think I ran an average of twice a week), Week One of Month Two (December) was a WIN!

Mon: Spinning. 60 minutes of heart-racing, sweat-drenching cycling at the YMCA...I'm still trying to find the best instructor--so far there is only one I like, and instead of shopping around (and ending up with narcissistic spinning junkies who play house music and yell at you about when you can and cannot drink your water), I should probably stick with him.
Tues: "Body Bar" with Marsha, again at the Y. A weight training class involving "body bars" (like the large barbells that you load up with different weights, except all the weight is in the bar, and there are varying sizes/weights). My upper-body strength is laughable.
Wed: Rest--very sore from weight workout! Especially in the hamstrings.
Thurs: Indoor run on the treadmill. Whenever I run on a treadmill, I get shin splints. When I run outside, I do not: Discuss.
Fri: Wine.
Sat: Run AND Wine. (Kind of a like a 2-a-day. Definitely not at the same time, though.) Ran outdoors mid-day, down to the Washington Monument and back. Saw the inaugural stand under construction in front of the back of the white house (sometimes I wish I had a camera with me on runs...do they make such a thing? Runner-friendly cameras?)It was about 30 degrees. I froze my ass off. Literally: my butt was numb when I got back to the apartment.

Hoping Week Two is just as successful!
