[eve]

Just got started this past week with lifting. Back in highschool I did weight training for 2 yrs, I really liked it then and I remembered this week how much I enjoyed it.

I started running back in November (I was never a runner because of asthma), I'm up to 3.25 miles in 30 minutes. But running alone is just not enough anymore. I started doing the basics at home after running about 2 mos ago. Sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.. And it gets boring fast.

I'm 25, 5'2" and currently 113lbs (111 on a good day). Just from the running and change of diet, I lost 12lbs since I first started running in November. I've been plateaud at that weight since probably the beginning of March. I'm not too worried about losing more weight I just want to maintain, get stronger and hopefully tighten up a bit more.

And onto the first day of lifting...

That is the official first 5 days of my routine. I felt I could do a bit more on both days, some of it almost felt too easy. Next week I will be upping some of the weights, but I am not going to push it. I don't want to get hurt right in the beginning.

Mon/Fri lifting - Tues/Thurs/Sat are running days. If I can't run tomorrow because I am sore from today, I will definitely be running on Sunday.

Suggestions and comments are welcome.
