I thought maybe we could have a daily chit chat thread discuss our exercise plans for the day and other random things.

No exercise plans today. It is my rest day. The kids have off from school, so going to keep them busy by taking them out to breakfast and going to see an early movie.0

That sounds like fun! Hope yall have a great day. I plan on running another easy 3 miles again today, then nothing the rest of the week till the race on Sunday.0

I did some ab work this am (half of Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack, had to stop because I felt dehydrated, then I did a 10 min ab bonus from 10 lb slimdown extreme). This evening I will go to the gym and do 25-30 minutes of toning, I think I'm gonna utilize the Bosu, then jump on the eliptical or exercise bike for 30 min.0

Haven't made up my mind. Kind of want to get a light run in (2 miles-ish) if my knee will allow it, but I may do a cross-trainer this evening (JM30DS, Level 1) to dovetail on yesterday's longer strength training session. No matter what, I'm hitting the foam-roller and some dynamic stretches twice today. Make it hurt so good! :sad: :laugh:0

I have been doing a p90x/running hybrid. Yesterday was my distance run, I did 7.59 miles (trail run) at a 9:45 pace, which is great for me!! Today is p90x and tomorrow will be a 3-4 tempo run!0
-
I was going to do a short 5-mile run this morning, but I realized I have nothing to do until 4:30, so I think I might head out for a 15.5 miler. I really need to get on the cross training though, I was so focused on training for my first (and second) half marathons that I haven't done any lifting or anything for months.0
-
I started a Tai Chi class last night. I did Asylum Relief this AM and will go home at lunch and do a Yoga routine. It's my official rest day.0
-
Short 4 miler on the schedule for today...might do one of those miles at 8k tempo.0
-
Rest day for me today:) Plan to do my second ever half-marathon in March - so I am planning to run 3 miles tomorrow and try and do 4-5 on Saturday:) I also do P90x and Zumba as well - mix it up:) Hope everyone has a great day!0

Today is a scheduled cross-training day. I'm supposed to do be doing yoga or pilates on these days, so I'll probably do yoga. I'd like to go for a swim but don't really feel like walking to the gym today0

Just to introduce myself, I'm Angela 26 years old, just picked up running again this Feb, but was out for 8 weeks in the summer from an injury. Afterwards I only ran once a week and did other things on other days but just recently I've picked it up again to 3-4 days a week. I am shooting for 100 miles in November, by doing short runs during the week and 10+ mile runs on the weekends. Ultimately my goal is to run a marathon. Today I ran 7 miles. Hoping I will be able to get my 12 mile run in this weekend but it's supposed to be pouring rain Fri-Sun

I am out of town this week, actually in my hometown staying with my sis, she just had a baby, so I'm helping out for the week.
I am planning to get out of the house today to go to a local running club meet up associated with a local Irish Pub. It'll only be 3 miles, hopefully I'll have some others who run my pace or else it won't be as fun as I'm imagining it will be. Maybe make a friend or two, or run into someone I know from high school and catch up with a beer afterwards.
I wish I had one of these type clubs near my current home, would definitely be a great way to mix up my workouts/routines.
also, looking forward to my 12 mile run on Friday.... going to the beach!0 -
Welcome Angela!0

Crappy weather here today...gonna go hit the gym for a 4-5 mile treadmill run (joy, oh joy).0

Fighting a touch of the flu (come on immune system!!) so I'm telling myself to take it easy today. I'm not used to down time but my body needs it. Hope you all have a fabulous workout though!0
-
I did the Marine Corps Marathon last week, so I'm taking it easy for a couple of weeks. I took last week off completely, and ran about 5 miles yesterday. Today I biked a few miles into work and will do the same on the way home, but no running. I'm going to get back to doing the core strengthening planks and good stretching that I've been neglecting!
Thanks for starting the group and the thread!0 -

Did some super deep stretching with YouTube videos from some yoga people on there that I like (namely Sadie Nardini). Love deep stretching, but I've been so lazy about doing it lately and am ridiculously tight. I knew I was tight but had no idea the extent of it0 -
Tonight for me is meeting up with the running group and tackling hills, which to say is my least favorite part of training. I know it has to be done, but my mind can't seem to tackle the hills in general. I do know the hills I will be running tonight, but I also know how much I dislike them.
Other than that, its more meal planning and laundry tonight. Maybe a good movie.. .any suggestions?0 -
I need to go for a walk, I can never rest on my rest day.
Everyday my foot feels better so hopefully I can start running soon!0 -
I have a half coming this Saturday so I will cut back at the end of the week. So I did 6.5 this morning and then 5 more at lunch time.0
-
Cross training today, 45 minutes of hills on the bike trainer. 1 hour of weight training, bi/abs/back/legs 8 sets of 8 with 20 sec rest interval so it was an extra hour of cardio. Good times. 5 mile run tomorrow. Doing base building until the end of January, up to 36 miles/week before I start my next marathon cycle.0

Why yes I am! How on earth did you guess? I'm in Pensacola visiting family.
It was a great 3 miles. I need to run with a group more often, I can run so much faster than when I'm solo!0 -
Did P90x Plyo workout tonight.
