I shook things up a bit on my 100 Days of Fitness workout yesterday. I worked later than usual here at the station due to breaking news but when I finished I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. So I bypassed the cardio regimen at the gym and ran outside for 50 minutes I capped the run by circling the bases ten times at a Cary ball park. My new shoes are helping. I wear Adrenaline by Brooks but it’s important for me to have the D width. I bought some cheaper and narrow versions of the same shoe model online a while back and they really hurt my feet. From now on I will not scrimp when it comes to running gear – especially following my big toe surgery last year.
Nutrition and Fitness Coach Tara Wind has whipped up a fresh strength workout today with a dual focus of core and total body. She has given me a stern warning about tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal: “EAT! But keep it under control!” I think I’m ready to meet the challenge. How do you “keep it under control” for Thanksgiving? I’d love to hear your strategies.
