Good Start?

I've some some limitations on the amount of time I can exercise, hence the blog and finding routes, but I think I've done a pretty good job starting out for the first two months of the year. I've been a bit of a gym rat and weather has been bad so I haven't been out in huge numbers, but I've been constant. Mind you this is just what I'm able to do on my lunch break. If you want to post numbers, only show what you can do on your lunch break not what you can do in the three+ hours after work and on weekends. I don't get weekends, I just can't compete with that. I've kept track of my running miles, trips to the gym and biking miles. Here we go, don't laugh too hard:

                 Running        Trips to gym Biking
January      12.1 miles     7                 18.5 miles
February    23.1 miles    10                12.75 miles
March        22.0 miles    8                  147.95 miles

The running miles are a mix of treadmill, outdoor on the grass and Bluff Creek dirt path; mostly treadmill. Trips to the gym usually involve a couple miles on the treadmill and a lot of upper body lifting. Biking is strictly road miles so far. I think it is just now dry enough to pull the mountain bike out of the garage. I'll have to break another column out for April, MTB miles.

There were 22 work days in March (I get every other Friday off) and I worked out, ran or biked all but two days; kids were sick one day and another I had a business lunch.

Goals for April:
- Swim: only option is the gym pool but I want to put in several hours worth.
- MTB: BLUFF CREEK!!!! And I need to sneak in a weekend trip somewhere.
- Run: nightly? I can get away for short runs @ night. Kind of iffy.
- Gym @ 6AM + lunch ride/run? Big iffy. I am not a morning person.
- Road bike: One good route a week (~20 miles).

Cheers,
