    It has been freakishly hot here. It doesn't make any since to be 85 degrees at 6 a.m. The afternoon temps were inthe triple digits. Needless to say when it is that hot, I can't do anything but stay in the air conditioner. Yesterday was a great day and today is suppose to be tolerable which is why I plan to get in 3 miles on my lunch today but the extreme heat is due back this weekend.

    Have a fantastic day and an exciting weekend everyone!!!

    Heat is coming to Shy town too!! :cry: I hate hot weather. I am already waiting on fall! :laugh: :bigsmile:

    Monday, 56 minutes, dog walking and C25K W4D3...339 calories
    Tuesday, 35 minutes, dog walking and C25K W5D1...259 calories

    Total: 91 minutes...598 calories

    Crazymom...hope the knee feels better, just know that rest is the best thing...also, the swimming was a good choice.
    Mollie...hope you make your goals this week

    I feel like week 5 is going to be a lot more challenging than I thought for the C25K...I think I will make it a 2 week project instead of one...I can barely finish the 5 minutes, let alone do 20 by the end of the week. But, I will get there. It might just take a little longer.

    Kim, I hope so too!! I am going to have to work out like a demon tomorrow. I am thinking of doing some work in house with HRM to make sure I meet my minutes tomorrow. Sunday I have a all day convention so I have to ge the rest in tomorrow!!

    When is your 25K race? I know you probably posted it and I missed the post.

    Mollie...Are you getting it done??? :huh:

    LOL!! I think the heat is affecting us, but I am getting it in. Had a good workout this morning. Compared to June the thread is definitely slower this month. Maybe some of the PEEPS pushed too much in June and taking a break. I personally can't do that.:wink:

    Bless you for allowing me to count 1 hour of the 5 I'll spending mowing, Kim!!

    So you're not a fan of W5D2 either? I was hoping it went better for you than it for me. I'm bribing the boys to do it with me tomorrow, stick right beside me, and not let me quit. I can do the first one, it's the second one. I'm wondering if I'm resisting the 8s to avoid the 20. At this point, my plan is to do the 8s successfully 3 times, then move on, just to prove to myself that I can do it. Totally a metal issue for me.

    For week 7/11/11
    Monday = rest
    Tuesday = 30 minutes = 279 calories
    Wednesday = 45 minutes = 287 calories
    Thursday = 85 minutes = 900 calories (running burns so good!!!)
    Friday = 30 minutes = 235 calories

    So far... 190 minutes and 1701 calories burned. Not bad... I have a long run tomorrow which will likely be nearly 2 hours... so I'll get closer, then maybe a walk on Sunday. That's my plan for now. It may change... it's the weekend after all!
