The Home Gym & 3 weeks to Half Marathon Cross Training Workout

It is 3 weeks to my 2nd Half Marathon of 2012. I am focusing on nutrition and sticking to a solid strength and flexibility routine. We have been working on the garage gym and it is really shaping up- equipment is slowly being added and it is getting organized and more functional. We are gearing up to make a push with cross training this summer. When it gets too hot to run I typically lean towards plyometric, strength & cycling routines. 

30:00 PM late last night set.

This home gym used to be just a mat, stability ball and mounted cycle in my garage, so I am extremely excited at how it has developed and also to see how different the training (and results) are this summer. I offer access to my home gym to any of my "Golden Clients"- those who train regularly with me year-round. It rivals any full gym in the variety of exercises/equipment, has the added bonus of being in a friendly, germ-free no-ego place, and is often followed with some kind of post-workout snack from my kitchen :) You can't beat that!
