First blog to break the ice :)
I will have a lot more to say on a lot of topics in the future, but for now I just want to present a template for what a training/fitness blog should contain (I will use my own workout as an example):

Started getting sick today, so didn't do too much. As a matter of fact, I intended to just rest today (after hard runs on monday and tuesday), but the weather was so nice and I just watched a couple of good races (high school Metro championships at City Park) so I couldn't help myself. I got to the park and stretched a bit, then started jogging. I made a point to NOT look at my watch at all, so I wouldn't be tempted to pick up the pace if I noticed that it was slow. No need to push it on a recovery run. One lap around the park, then onto the track. I called it quits after two laps on the track though. Just didn't feel well - that queazy feeling that comes with being sick. Had just enough energy to get through the training session with the adult group - had a great group out there and the workout was good. We did a group circuit - 5 stations (1-squat jumps, 2-dips, 3-calf raises, 4-push ups, 5-shuttle runs) for 40 seconds each, with 2o seconds recovery between exercises and 4 minutes active recovery between circuits. So leg strength, arm strength, and some cardio.

Hope to see more people blogging about their training! I personally find it very motivating to read about what other people are doing. Not only does it inspire me to go out and be active in general, but I often find so many good training ideas in other people repertoires that I incorporate into my own training. Can't wait to see what YOU have to say!

Great job Phillip. I did a 40 minute circuit on Wednesday morning with Christie and Shelley. We started at 6:00am and finished at 6:40. Worked some push-ups, lunges and core work.
