Getting Back to Cardio

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times.

I hate cardio!

I would have to say that's the biggest flaw in my workouts is that I don't focus enough on cardio.

Since I bike to and from the train station I usually try to make the excuse that my biking counts as a cardio workout. And, I guess it's not untrue but I'm certainly not getting the same effect as I would if I was running.

I simply don't find it fun. Either I'm bored on a treadmill watching a crappy TV show or too hot or cold when running outside.

But, even though I keep a very consistent weight and I'm still losing fat & gaining muscle I'm not getting where I want to be fast enough.

So, that means I need to up my cardio again and stop skipping my running.

I ran 5K this past Saturday. Surprisingly, I did it in under 30 minutes which means I'm on par with where I was last September when I was training for a 10 Km run for the PBSO charity run after my daughter died.

So I'm back at it.
