So this weekend I'm going to hang out with Lisa just outside of Budapest. We'll go to spin class tonight and make it a girls movie night. Looking forward to it! I love our conversations too so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.

If you have a good strength training program that you follow religiously, would you mind sending it my way? I am good at following a plan. The Sprint Tri plan worked great and I'm on track with the 1/2 marathon. Unfortunately I've realized that I have completely neglected strength training not because I don't want to (OK, it isn't my favorite) but because I don't go to a gym or have a gym membership so I just have free weights, a mat and a balance ball at home. I need some type of (M/W/F) plan of some sort to follow because otherwise I will never reach my goal of getting toned and losing some of the extra love handle areas.
Thanks guys.
Have a great weekend.

Enjoy your spin session!
On strength training, I had a post on a core strength workout. Besides this I use the machines in the gym and squats for a leg (quads, hamstrings and calf) workout twice a week.
maybe try that 100 pushup challenge that everyone seems to be doing. it's working my core and upper body
hey Jen,
When I use to workout, I would...
Mon - back and bicep
Wed - chest and tricep
Fri - legs
And I would do a 30 min run after each workout. Granted back then i was training for a half marathon.
Is there a specific reason for you to weight train (like build up a stronger core or work on balancing your muscles?)
If not, then I would trim down on the weight train and get more run in. Or cross train like spinning or swimming.
But that's just me..i just enjoy more aerobic exercise than weights :P
Definitely get yourself on some kind of strength training plan. It will make a difference in your running, etc! Whatever you end up choosing, make sure it's well-balanced and you get in all the major muscle groups.
thanks everyone > :D
Good stuff
JEn
