Fall 52DC Objectives:
20 Resistance training sessions
20 Cardio workouts
Lose 10.5 lbs (5% body weight)
It's been kind of a good news/bad news weekend when it comes to the challenge. I've booked three CT sessions, all spin classes, because the timing just worked out well for them and it's been a bit of a challenge synching up the schedules to get those classes in. And honestly, I think it is a better workout in terms of cardio and weight loss than my fat-ass self huffing on a treadmill for 20 minutes or so.
That said, I do have two reasons I should be getting the running in - my 100km objective, and finishing the C25K program that I'm well into. In order to hit the 100km, I need to do about 21 runs in the remaining 47 days. That math is getting kind of tight, unless I can start running outside in the cold evenings, or making some other change.
Today, I did a couple of km after my spin class, and I don't see that as a viable solution at all unless I want to be scraped off the treadmill and dumped in a heap outside the gym by their cleaning staff. And that is not my goal.
Right now, the running thing is a secondary goal, and the focus will remain on the major goals of CT's, RT's, and clean eating. The 5% weight loss is also a priority.

Run rabbit run. Trying to make it all happen at once - overwhelming. If you want that running goal - then - back off the RT goal. In the end - longer than 52 days - it all evens out.
