Training update...

I haven't totally slacked off on my training. I did take about a 2-week break during which I got moved into the new house and went on a nice little mini-vacation to the Florida Keys.

This week, I jumped back in head-first. Actually, I ended last week w/ a 20-minute run to jump-start some of my motivation. Anyway, I now have my supplements stocked up (CLA, L-Carnitine, and some Powerbar energy gel stuff). I started going to Snap Fitness after work w/ Kelli, and having someone to w/ me to the gym is definitely a good thing. Also, soccer pick-up games got started this past Monday. We got a nice hour-long game this week, during which I did a lot more sprinting back and forth than I realized. We got a cool-down run in as well, so I felt pretty good about that.

Today I have more after work time at the gym than I've had yet, so I plan on doing a decent amount of cardio as well as weights. Tuesday I only got minimal cardio in w/ my weight training.

I signed up this week for the 5k mud run on October 16, so it's happening.

As far as soccer goes, we're going to keep doing pick-up games until it gets too dark too early to play. I will also find out this week whether or not I have been placed on an indoor women's league team to play on Wednesdays. I feel good about it.
