Time to step it up!

Wow, I can't believe I completed my second week with Emily as my trainer. Only six more to go. Today, I was the only person that came to the Thursday workout so that meant I got to work one on one with her again. I like that, it gives her time to evaluate me, as well as being able to have somebody to talk to. Before we started, we talked about nutrition and the importance of eating right. That is important for everyone to do whether you are training for a race or not. We walked/jogged around the outer concourse of the unidome today. We did a warmup walk and then we did 1 walk of 2 min. 45 seconds followed by 1 jog of 75 seconds. We did that 5 times (slowly building up endurance.) Once we finished our 5th jog she told me to go around the outer concourse by myself once while she timed me. I finished in under 4 minutes, which was better than any of her joggers did yesterday. That made me feel pretty good, although I expect more out of myself so I still have a lot of improvement left to make. We completed our workout by stretching and that ended that. She told me to do that exercise once by myself this weekend and to workout for a half hour or so on an exercise bike, stairmaster, or other piece of exercise equipment once this weekend. Another fun workout.
