Day 2

It is getting colder outside and it is always a struggle getting out of bed. I pushed the snooze button 3 times this morning before I got up.  On the positive I am loving running in the cooler temps.  It is jut getting out the door that is the struggle.

This morning I did:

6 mile run

30 bench press(45#)
30 db pullover (15#)
30 incline bench press(45#)
30 incline curls(25#)

I am feeling good in my runs.  I did get a little bored during my run this morning, so I need to come up with things to keep my mind occupied.  Especially when I start my longer runs.
