I follow my morning workouts with 15 minutes of stretching that mentally prepares me for a long day at work.

Part Two of my workout came at around 4:30 after I got home from work.  I completed just over a 5 mile loop through the hills of Mt. Lebanon at my marathon goal pace.

I finished my day off with another stretching session and a good meal of vegetables, egg noodles, and a veggie burger.

As a former college athlete, I have learned so much about time management.  I know that it is vital when sticking to a workout plan while juggling ever other aspect of your life-- full-time job, a part time staff writer, a girl friend, and a pet owner.  I stay on track by planning ahead, adjusting my time, and luckily having a boss that allows me to be flexible with my schedule.
