My Daily Workout

When the 'student-athlete' becomes a 'student', it takes a little ingenuity to find a routine to achieve a 'quality workout'. However, since I was banned from using the facilities at times last year and now this year, I found some great places to workout that few people dare to reach!

Lake Alice is a great place to run and, surprisingly, the student Rec Center is superior to the athletic weight room in a few key ways. So, here is how my day started this past Saturday:

 
Here is a view out of my dorm's hallway at
just about the time I leave to start my
morning workouts! This is Saturday , so my
morning workouts are longer. During the
school week I still wake up early, either to get
to my 8am classes or to workout. Either way,
the workout gets done every day.
 		 I have several places that I like to 'run'. You
heard it right, I do a lot of running and general conditioning.  Running is the quickest way to
make your healthy diet pay off. By running
I lose weight and firm up at the same time.
I caught this handsome guy poking his
nose out of the water, but I was
determined not to be an early snack!
 		 Here's a smaller one of our friends I met
along my run! Even though this one
is small, this alligator can bite!
Here we are at Lake Alice! This is a great place
to run because you have to be faster than
the alligators! There are many places I run
around Florida, but this place has a beauty
all its own.
 		 Finally, by 10am , I am ready to start my
weight workout and unfortunately for
me, I have scheduled today to be a
'burn-out' day for the leg press!
Nothing makes me feel like I have
had a real workout than trying to
do as many as I can in the leg press!
 

I believe that Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day! A good breakfast, a healthy lunch and a light dinner has been the secret of my weight loss! Hey, if Subway's "Jared" can do it, I thought I could do it too!

  

If you think it's funny that I run near the
alligators, here is the choice. It's the
alligator side of the street or the......
BAT HOUSE!
Yes, somebody keeps bats here.
It's not that they're spooky during
the day, but putting it mildly, it really
really really smells terrible
when you run by!


After all that running, I feel like falling
down in my dorm room and never
getting up again!
