So I upped my training another notch…

Yesterday, I purchase a weighted vest adding another 20 lbs for when I do some running around the indoor track. Now I admit I was a bit self concious about just wearing this thing over my tshirt. I mean.. I go to the YMCA… i felt like these people would wonder what the F*** i was thinking… i tried to cover up with a sweatshirt… the sweatshirt was too small.. i’d forgotten that i’ve grown into it quite a bit already.   Luckily, I had a backup in the car, a zip up instead of a pullover… so I went ahead and ended up doing 1 mile around the track instead of the usual 2… i was DRENCHED….

Also new to the program is use of the Stairmaster… HOLY CRAP! I’m using that machine at least once a week. granted i only did 15 minutes which consisted of 5 min. on, stretch, 5 min. on, stretch, and then 5 minutes… I feel GREAT!
