M3:D2 Work the plan and the plan will work

May 15, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was a cardio only day.  I didn't feel like doing anothe PACE workout, so I ran 2 miles on the treadmill as fast as I could go.  I managed to hit the 2 mile mark at 17:48.  My heart was racing and sweat was pouring off of me.  It was an awesome cardio session that got my metabolism kick started for the day.

I had yet another long meeting today, but it was extremely productive.  I enjoyed the time with my staff and we really worked hard on their new goals for the rest of the year.  I like the coaching aspect of my job alot. 

I stuck to my plan today.  I believe that I need to stick to the plan very closely.  I know I will be tempted to not bulk when the time comes because I know it will increase my body fat percentage, but I'm going to trust my instincts and do the plan the way it is laid out.
