I was'nt able to get out as early as I wanted to. I was finally able to beat the pavement at around noon. I ran 3 miles in the heat and humidity. I gotta say it felt GREAT to sweat and work. I am gonna be skinny again soon. WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Okay, I tried to do the 3 x 10 routine and couldn't do it. :sad: :sad:

But, I ended up doing...

Warm up for 5 minutes, jog for 10 minutes, walk for 1 min, jog for 10 min, walk for 4 min, jog for 5 min, cool down for 5 minutes.

The last set killed me. :indifferent:

Ah well, tomorrow is a new day and i'll try again!

Goodmornig all, Back from weekend get away. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Anyone else get Huge rains? Driving back from trip a lot of accidents on the highway because of huge downpours.
I had planned to get up and run, but I wasn't up to it so I am going to do a lot of other things today to make up for it. And tomorrow I am going to go far!!!!
I even bought some Access nutrition bars from Melaleuca I guess to help burn fat as energy when I work out? I will try it tomorrow and see if I can run really far, any easier.
Today I am going to go on a bike ride and a bunch of yard work/gardening, so that will burn some of those calories.
Oh and it looks like I only gained maybe half a pound or a pound from my weekend trip. Can't pass up those Strawberry Margarita's! I thought for sure it was going to be more. I will find out for sure in a little bit!

Hey I eat the Access Bars - love them, but don't expect much! they don't give you a ton of energy, they just help feed your muscles so you burn and build more efficiently. I like to think I am doing the right thing by having one before each work out - just watch the extra calories...I think they are like 180 cals.....

Hey girl, you got really close!! that was great - 40 minutes of moving! doesn't matter if you are walking or running - when you are trying to improve just keep moving - it is more of a mind game than a body game sometimes. AND the best part is that each day you will see improvement!!! just don't forget to stretch properly so you don't get those shin splints again!!

Lina: That was great run/walk. Eventually you will cut down those longer walks to a minute. It is a gradual process. you will make progress.

Hello ladies! So far today I haven't made it out for a run. Way too hot outside for me to even think about it right now! I've found that I don't have the motivation to get out of bed earlier, so running at night is the way to go for me. (I've always been a night owl anyway)

I'm shooting for a more consistent week this week. I find that it is easy for me to get caught up in doing other things around the house, and then before I know it, it's too late to go running. My goal is to start planning my days better so that I can fit in everything I wan/need to do. I've worked up to doing 2 miles a day, so that is my target for tonight. I'll try to cut out one of the walking stretches, but since I haven't run in a few days, that may not happen.

I got my HRM in the mail today!!! Gotta love Ebay. I definitely have the motivation to get out there tonight, just so I can see how many calories I'm really burning. Who knows, I may see the numbers and keep running without thinking about the time!

It was a 31 mile/50K run. It was the most physically and mentally challene I have ever done. It was a 3.1 mile loop through a park in Ft. Worth. It started at midnight, so we had to wear head lamps! Loved it adn can't wait to do another!
