Race to the Top - Training Update (01-03)

Monday, January 2


This was a "rest day" for stair climbing training, so I went to Cardio Strength class at the Morrison YMCA. This class is an "upgrade" from the "Strength Light" class that I used to take, so it was a little tougher. To keep things easy on the knees, I made adjustments to a couple of the moves, but this was a REALLY good class that worked my muscles AND got my heart rate up. Since this was the last day of the YMCA Fitness Challenge, I even swung by the Ballantyne Village Y (my home base) to log my minutes in the book. I feel good about finishing the challenge strong by adding points for my team.

Stair Climbing training day...

Crazy night! Met Mom and Aunt Jill for dinner, raced home, changed, and zipped over to the Y just in time. Got my 1200 steps done in 21:30 today--GREAT improvement! I finished up with 30 minutes on the bike, shutting the place down at EXACTLY 9:00! I don't know which was more strenuous--the workout itself or just getting there!
