thanks for the words all. And just so you all know, I practice what I preach. I did the indoor crazy army workout today. I'm beat. But the best kind of beat.

I pushed myself during my workout today. I'll admit it, i'm not a good jogger. I can't jog worth crap. I started by doing 3 minute intervals and rest for 2 minutes for 45 minutes. But today, I did 6 minute intervals for 45 minutes. I was sweating like a (insert example here) and I felt like I really pushed myself. Monday, I will push myself even more!
Thanks Banks!0 -
Excellent. I LOVE it. It doesn't matter how good you are, it matters how hard you work!
One thing I will say though, jogging can be rough on your joints if you don't do it well, be aware of that.
here is a quick primer for jogging. Don't worry, it's easy to jog right, It's just a couple of things to keep in mind.

I listen to hard angry rock when I work out. It makes me run faster and push much harder.
I suppose it is just the kind of person you are that determines what motivates you to push yourself! All I know is I hate the r&b crap they always have playing in there. It sucks. :noway:0 -
Well said Banks. Thanks I can always use a reality check now and again and at least the one I got from you makes sense.(not always so from some others that are in my life)0

glad I could help. :happy:
And cobra, yeah, I listen to Godsmack, Disturbed, Limp Bizkut, Rage, and Korn when I run. It really does make for a better, if angrier, workout. Course, skip Voodoo in your playlist, that will slow you right down. LOL!0 -
This is exactly why I'm starting a Cardio Cabaret, the CORE, and pilates at my university gym.0

Haha! We should exchange playlists sometime! I listen to all the same stuff! As well as some NIN. Trent has a good beat to most of his songs.
Also some of Audioslave's stuff is good. Metallica is another one, and a couple of Pantera songs.0 -
I didn't even think to put Metalica on there. Why? Why did I skip them?0

I read this post after I did a short run after class and before Opera rehearsal. I had planned to only run 2 miles and call it quits since its friday and I had rehearsal until 7:30 and parties to attend tonight.
BUT I came home and read this...
I ended up going to the gym and running 5 miles on the treadmill. Usually I'll do 3.5. By "run" I do mean jog with a few minutes of walking every now and then. But really, That puts me up to 7 for today...double my usual. AND I'm still going out (late though).
I feel really good about it...can't wait till tomorrow after rehearsal all day I'm going to need a BIG stress relieving workout.
ps- GREAT MUSIC. NIN keeps me moving.0
