Getting a routine

I started my first personal training session today and it was great. First I ran for an hour on the treadmill and then I met with the trainer. She showed my some machines that I could use for creating a fitness plan. She says 2 or 3 days a week would be enough in addition to everything else I'm doing I'm doing. I'm going to start out with two until I build up a little, plus I'll be in Cleveland next week so that will alter my schedule so I'll be forced to not overdue it. After my training session I went to the pool and swam for an hour, I guess about 2 miles. It was a little crowded today for a few minutes but not bad. A lot of older women taking a pool running class took up half the pool and they were having a great time! Good for them! It's a real social event for them.
Once I got home, I was pretty tired and didn't do much else. I do have to work on figuring out my schedules so that I can get some done around the house as well as workout. As I build my endurance I think that will take care of itself.
I sent in my application for a license to practice massage so hopefully I'll actually have a job in the near future. I do enjoy working out and going to the club so I'll just take advantage of my time until I get a job!
Tomorrow will be an easy day and I plan on only running a couple of miles and a few minutes on the stairclimber. After that we're going shopping to return some Christmas items. Hopefully we'll find some good sales as well.
I'm planning on a 50 mile week so I have lots of running to do this weekend. My goal is to run about 15 on both Saturday and Sunday! We'll see! That's a lot to ask this old body!
