it was worth it and i'll revisit it again. Monday starts T25! I picked it up on one of their sales for stupid cheap...guess I should actually DO it. LOL! Monday will also begin week 3 of my "12 week 1/2 marathon training for dummies...er, beginners". it's bumping up the distance on me!

Visited another Y while traveling. Used a Waterrower for the first time, because the only Concept2 was in use. Much preferred the C2.
Turns out that, if food isn't the whole point of the trip, I don't eat much when I'm away. I'm 900 cals behind and I've already eaten dinner. I did, however, notice they have some ice cream...1 -
Jogged on the treadmill today doing intervals. 2 minutes at 3.7 MPH and then 4 minutes at 5.5 MPH for a total of 30 minutes with a 5 minute cool down ( 5MPH, 4.5 MPH, 3.5 MPH and then 2.5MPH). Heart rate stayed under 174, so I was happy. Tomorrow is a 3 mile walk

45 and noticed the pounds and a spare tire trying to sneak up on me. Started hitting the roads and exercising regularly and watching the calorie count to try to burn that fat off. Started 5K's at 32 mins and down to 25.5 mins now and regimen of at-home exercises like pushups, situps, and ab wheel training. Will see how this goes.1

Really hot yesterday but I had to mow. I was ok for a while but then the humidity got to me. The last bit took quite a while to finish as I had to cool off and get my heart rate down. I drank a gallon of water over the three hours. Ugh0

@gam3rguy That looked like fun!
Last night was Beach Race #2 in a 3-race series. Beach running is definitely tougher than I thought it would be. I think I may have to add more beach runs to my training!
Anyway, I finished with a very unimpressive 31:56. Evidently, the sun and sand slowed everyone down because I actually came in 1st for my age group! My first first!! Top 3 finishers in each age group get a small gift card from a local running store. I'm one step closer to getting my Garmin!4 -
Good evening kids. Hot Pilates and Barre done. Decided to weigh myself and down 5 pounds exactly. What a pleasant surprise. Gam3rguy, I know you kicked butt. Hope you had fun. Did it challenge you? Any souvenir's?
Keep up the great work everyone.0 -

@gam3rguy you must be one of the most consistent people I've ever seen around here. Good for you it makes me a bit more motivated to workout when I don't feel like it0

Hi all, this weekend was supposed to be filled with fun filled activities. Got sidelined on Saturday as my husband and his buddy went for a bike ride with both of them ending up in the ER! My husband's bike malfunctioned while he was going uphill, standing up, and his friend was drafting close behind, so then ended up in a pretty bad mess. Both are stiff / sore and scraped up, but otherwise okay. The friend did have to have a CT scan as he suffered a concussion. So, instead of hiking, I was at the hospital.
I did manage to get a nice 5mile walk in last evening. I was determined to get it in, and thankfully did.
Am hoping I do a little better this week exercise wise. Am starting to get grumpy because I have not been able to work out.
Welcome new kids!
@caramelgyrlk - congrats on the weight loss!0 -
45 minutes total of leg stuff and some cardio.
I had my foot checked and no answers sadly so I'll just wait and see1 -
Yikes sdereski....glad that everyone is okay.
I have not worked out in 10 days!! Highly unlike me, but work just revved up too much and I could not figure out how to get my workouts in and it was stressing me out SO badly that I just whispered to myself: "life will go on if you don't work out for 2 weeks".
This is when you know that you have been an exercise-gym-rat for 3 decades....2 -
I was going to start a round of P90X3 today, but somebody *cough* @gam3rguy *cough* distracted me with the idea of Shaun Week! So, I'll start P90X3 next week.
Day 1 was Insanity Basics. Wow! Can you say Quad Burner! It's going to be an interesting week. I love me some Shaun T!1 -
Hey kids, Hot Pilates done. My 5k is this Saturday and I will do my best. Have a great day kids.3

@caramelgyrlk Good luck on your race! I fully expect immediate race results!0

Hi, I'm new here. Is anyone else crazy enough to take up running for the first time at 49 years old? Any tips to avoid killing myself? I've almost worked up to a slooooow 5K. 6

I'm 41. This is going to be the best year of my life so far, I've decided. YES! Glad to be here.7

Welcome to all the New Kids..
@Caramelgyrlk - Have fun on Saturday!
@Laney_7 Congrats on starting to run at such an early age. Survival Tips: Run on the left and wear reflective gear.2 -
Great day kids. TRX and Inferno complete. I am very sore today. 8 coworkers are part of this 5k. I will upload photos so you can see the fun. Betty, I will definitely post results even if I cringe at the time. Welcome all newbies. I hope you stay for a bit. I guess Larro is back on hiatus as I have not seen a post from him in awhile. Have a great day kids.4

My last run in the south was 85F and 91% humidity. I'm back home now and ran 3m in 60F and 68% humidity. Sooo much easier.4
