I was able to make it to the gym early Saturday morning for the first time in 2 weeks, but my workouts have been very inconsistent, at least in the number of days I am able to make it to the gym. Mostly because I work 2 jobs at the moment. So I’ve decided to really challenge myself, by registering for a 5K race that takes place in 4 weeks. So that means I will have to step up the cardio to better my endurance and as well increase my focus and inteisty on the weightlifting side. It will be my 2nd race ever and my first 5K in 3 years, but right now I feel like I have a target to shoot for in my overall training. Gotta crawl before you can walk. Any suggestions that you guys have on consistency, how to maintain it, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I was happy to be able to get in a workout Sunday morning before having to be at my second job at 9am. The hardest thing for me right now is going between jobs where I may put in a total of 14-15 hours in a day which leaves me little time for working out. The only good thing is when the team is on the road, that I dont have to work my second job until they return home. This allows me to keep up my workout schedule better. So somewhere during the weeks when the team is home, I have to sacrifice and either get up earlier than I currently do and squeeze in a workout or try to do something after I get home late at night. Sounds like a copout I know, but I just havent decided which is going to work better for me.

After Tuesday of this week, my time in the gym will be better and should be until Friday of next week. No one ever said progress was easy. Taking it one day at a time.
