    I'll be back to working out tonight after taking 2 days off. My body wasn't very excited about me doing Cardio Axe and Turbo Jam back to back. :) I love that I'm looking forward to exercising tonight.

    Oh are you training, I'm doing the Couch to 5K program, you can get info at :

    http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml


    The program has you ready to run a 5K in 9 weeks but I am taking as long as I need to move through the weeks, and I 'm doing it on a treadmill, so ideally by spring I will be able to transition to out doors
