- good idea about the protein. I was thinking of that just today. Need up up my protein a bit, I think.
Cardio: Do an interval workout. 5 minute warm-up, 1 minute jog, 2 minute walk, X6, 5 minute cool-down
- this is an excellent workout. C25K starts with short jogging intervals such as this and it works great.
- it was a beautiful day. I went for a run along the river. Ran a total of 7K and walked 2.6K.
Water: drink at least 64 ozs today
- I count any non-caffeinated drink as "water". In total, I drank about 40 oz today. Will have another cup or two of water (real water :drinker: ) tonight.0
