Morning,

No run for me today.
Did a BodyAttack class at 6am this morning. Not bad but I found the movements a little boring.
Floors are ridiculously slippery, need to find other shoes with a non-slip sole.

Have a wonderful day!

Good morning!

I have Boot Camp tonight, so no run for me today.

Quick question ... I heard somewhere that it is not good to eat dairy before a run because it can upset your stomach. Well last I had a bowl of cereal before my 4-mile run (which was supposed to be 6 miles), and about a mile into it my stomach started churning. I barely finished the 4 miles. Do you think it really had something to do with the milk in my cereal or was it just an off day for me? I've eaten fairly normal this weekend.

Good Morning!

I have my last Monday nite run with my training group before the race this weekend. Sad that I will not be seeing them anymore but happy to get one more race completed!

Alison, I avoid dairy before running as it always makes me cramp up. But it could be a combination of things that caused yours. My stomach always churns on long runs -- I think that kinda goes with the territory! To avoid cramping or nausea, I do best with a breakfast/energy bar (PowerBar Performance) or banana.

Mireille - BodyAttack at 6am!? ACK! What type of class is it?

No run for me today, did my Core Synergestics workout. Will be running tomorrow.

Alison: I too avoid dairy before cardio exercise. I am lactose intolerant, so that has something to do with it. I prefer having half a protein bar before I run (a whole one if I am really hungry, but then I am really thirsty!)

Have a great day everyone!

According to Good Life it's a " high-energy sports-inspired cardio workout that builds strength and stamina".
There's a lot of squats, lunges, jumping jacks, push-ups and running in place (knees up). A few other moves but too hard to describe. lol I definitely got a good workout because I burnt 500 calories in 1 hour and my heart-rate went up as high as 174.

I warned you I did not like body attack, try body combat, it will work your abs more than you realize and it gets some aggression out!

Getting a late start today, getting on the treadmill right now and body pump tonight

Have a good Monday :drinker:

The only things I eat before a long run is plain oatmeal and a banana. I haven't tried anything else and I'll make sure to stay away from dairy just in case.
I don't normally eat for runs under 6 miles. I find I run better on an empty stomach. Come to think about it when I ate breakfast on my 8 and 10 miles I got sick but when I ran my 9 miles I didn't eat and didn't get sick. Hmmmm...I wonder if that's my problem.

I know, this class is hard to explain. Although you are working your butt off, it's a little boring. Weird!
Unfortunately, my gym only has BodyCombat once a week and I don't know if I can't make that time due to my hubby's work schedule. :indifferent:
What do you think of the BodyFlow and the RPM? I haven't tried those yet.

Morning!

I have good news to report, I beat my time. I did 3 miles in 44 minutes!

Overall I did 3.32 miles in 50 minutes. It feels so good. The shins feel good today too!

So, if I would have ran today I would have got washed away by all of the rain. So I went and got a great swim!

areay

Yeah, dairy can really upset your stomach. I usually try and eat a banana and drink half a gatorade before my run, at least 30 min. before!

I like flow and rpm I haven't done yet. I think you just joined the gym? If so, what I like about these classes is they have new "rollouts" every few months so you are getting new moves and stuff. Keeps you from getting bored.

Hello runners! No run for me today either, planning to run tomorrow AM! I did a new workout, Tony Horton's One on One Road Warrior this afternoon, wanted to try it out. And will do Chest & Back (P90X) w/ my dh tonight... pushups & pullups!

I don't do well w/ dairy before a run either. I don't drink milk, only soymilk as regular milk gives me tummy issues no matter when I drink it! I do eat yogurt and cottage cheese w/out any trouble, but not before a run! I usually run so early that I often either just eat a banana or for longer runs will eat a fat burning Access bar (Melaleuca). I don't have time to wake up, digest, and then run. I'm usually up & out the door w/in 15 min.

I have joined. I just wish childcare was included in the membership fee. I guess they have to get you every way possible!
I can't wait to do the cycling class.
Thank you so much for your thoughts on the classes!

Sadly, after going to a doctor to "be sure" about my foot, they took x-rays and said i have a little inflamation in there. Nothing serious, but I need to stop running and take some light OTC anti-inflamitory medication for a few weeks. *Sigh* looks like it's all recumbant bike and eliptical for me for a few weeks. Drat! Foiled again!

Way to go Lina. There are days when we have bad runs and then days that make it all worth it!

severine_wit

I find I perform better if I have something to eat about 1 or 2 hours before a run, some slow releasing energy food like pasta. I also agree, banana is a safe bet, excellent energy food and natural !

Still buzzing from my 1hour long run yesterday, decided to go for another half hour today, didn't push it too much though as my knees were feeling a bit painful from yesterday.
Any tips on what to do about joints pain ? Knees, hips ? Apart from taking it slow and having a rest wich is what I intend to do tomorrow.

Thanks.

Good evening runners.

PMKelly409, Good luck on your run. Sad to see your friends go I know, but the good news is you have done what you were supposed to do.:drinker: Oh and everyone has so much good advise for you, you will do great.

Banks sorry to hear about your foot. Wishing you speedy recovery.:flowerforyou:

As for me, I knew I wouldn't get a chance to run this morning, so I did the treadmill last night for a little while. 3.25 miles and 400 calories according to my new HRM. My treadmill was off and said almost 450, but I think I will go with the watch, seems to be more like what MFP says also. I think I will just do my regular work out tonight, stretches, crunches, punches etc.

I may be on the recovery list sooner than planned myself. I had to call my doctor because one of my expanders (that they pump up) seems to be leaking. I am like a large D on one side and a large B or a small C on the other. And it seems to be getting smaller. So When I go in Thursday, they may just schedule my final reconstruction operation sooner. That really works for me, I wanted it done as soon as possible so I would be good for my Hawaii trip in December and done with recovery.

Wish me luck!

So late to post again.. but you know the time differences well.. makes a difference.

I ran the 5K Poker run, pair of 5s... not much so nope, didn't win that! Oh well... 32 min on the run.. not what I was hoping for but my first one in a lOOOOONNNNGGGG time so good baseline.

I did a spin class to really tucker myself out and got some excellent sleep!!

Happy Trails.

Well think that is great time:drinker: . Sorry you didn't win, but I bet it was a blast all the same.

Margarita -- yeah.. it was and now I have a baseline so I am happy for that... was dehydrated too, so that wasn't too good -- pounding headache afterward a good tell-tale sign. BUT we have a 5K coming up for September 11th Rememberance so, I'll keep ya posted on that one!

Believe it or not I was 2nd to last in the race.... most completed in 29 think that is why I felt poorly about it, even though personally it was an alright time. (military folks - shesh competitive!!) :laugh:
