After not doing cardio for years, I ran on the track after my workouts every day last week except for one (and that was simply because the gate was locked).
Also did well on bench press. Not a PR, but close to it.
Awesome. Do you enjoy running? I've been doing CrossFit for conditioning, which has helped me get in more cardio than ever before because it's the only kind I don't hate.
Eh, yes and no. Can't say I enjoy it all that much right now, especially since I'm very out of shape for it, haha. I haven't really run in a long time and it felt like an awkward movement for the first few days. It was nostalgic, though, since I used to run track in high school. I think I would find a longer session to be monotonous, but right now my goal is to work up to running a mile and I don't really plan on having a longer cardio session than that. Also, I go in the evenings, and it's been nice to be outside while the sun is going down.
Glad to hear that Crossfit has been enjoyable for you; I've heard other people say the same (or, similar things about crossfit-style workouts). Almost like cardio is being snuck into a workout that has more exciting things in it, lol.
