It never gets easier, you just get better!

Today my hubs and I were able to go to the gym together.  The kids were with my parents, so we took advantage.  I loved having him there with me. Even though we weren't doing the same things, just knowing he was there was nice. 

I really wanted to increase my mileage from 2.5 - on Monday - to 3.1 today.  I was originally going to run 3, but decided to go for the 5k distance.  I felt really good. I ran with the incline set on 2 for most of the run.  I don't want to get to used to running on the 'mill so I like to add some "hills" to make it more like running outside. I had some cramps but was able to breathe them out within a few minutes. I'm also working on building my muscles back to what they were.  It's crazy how fast you lose muscle mass.  I did lunges, squats, calf press, and worked my arms some.  I'm still not able to do ab work since I'm still sore in my rib cage.  As soon as that goes away, my abs will have a rude awakening, for sure! My body is still adjusting to getting back to running/working out but I'm getting stronger every day!

God Bless
