    Good HIIT session on treadmill yesterday. My work schedule is a bit shifted this week, and I'm on call so it's making it hard to run outside.
    today - 10 minute elliptical warmup then upper body strength training.

    well, seems like most have given up posting here, but I'll keep it going for a bit more before giving up...
    so, I think I said my schedule last week was a bit "off", so no outside runs last week, all treadmill/elliptical work. I went on a 5k run last night. This morning I hit the gym, and did a 20 minute warmup on Precor crossramp elliptical, then a half hour of strength training on upper body.

    I did 4 miles on my bike this morning. Going to do 5 tomorrow...or at least that's the plan. I started with 2 miles on Sunday and 3 miles on Monday.

    As a thought. Maybe instead of making the thread "today" maybe we should do a new thread every day? Just thinking out loud.

    I achieved a fitness goal this morning! I was able to do an unassisted pullup (two in fact!) for the first time in my life. Very sweet....

    A bit overdue but congratulations on the unassisted pullup!

    Just checking in to see if the thread is still going, I'll start posting again. My workouts have been sporatic but I think I've got some other things out of the way so that I can make more time for workouts. Ran 3 miles on Saturday followed immediately with 5.5miles walking fast. Ran 1.5 miles on Sunday followed immediately with 4 miles of walking fast. Insanity was a no go - still can't get the video to work - oh well.

    Going to try to get 15 miles of running in this week, starting from tonight.

    My only issue with a new thread per day would be that it would push down some of the other informative threads...
    Have you read a lot of Lovecraft?

    Thanks! ...and nice goal. :) Good luck. My most so far is just over ten I think.

    Not a lot of Lovecraft. Basically just the Cthulu story. Big Scify fan though...Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, Mark Chadbourn, Terry Goodkind...ect...

    I'd probably use this a lot more if it was accessible from the phone app!

    Anyway, today I did 2 nike training club workouts: better butt and cardio killer

    I read a lot of SciFi myself back in the day (I guess you can tell I'm now an old fogie since I use this ancient spelling/term), as well as Fantasy, although not much recently. I'm not familiar with Sanderson or Chadbourn, but would consider Jordan/Goodkind leaning more towards the Fantasy side... Is the "Scify" label an attempt at combining the genres into one term? I always considered them fairly separate. I started more with Fantasy (Tolkien, Brooks, Eddings, Donaldson, Moorcock, etc..) when younger, and gradually worked into Science Fiction (Asimov, Heinlein, Herbert, Wells, Huxley, etc..) through HS, college and young adulthood.

    That's a good suggestion for the app! You should submit that!

    Are the nike workouts video workouts to do at home?

    I guess Fantasy would be how it's placed at a book store. Sanderson took over for Jordan after he passed away to complete the Wheel of Time series. Last book comes out 2013.

    Only rode 4.5 miles today, but changed the terrain. Rode to a co-workers and back. Many more ups and downs then my previous miles.

    Thanks, the most I've done so far is right around ten, too - this may be too ambitious.

    Ran 3.47 miles last night (neighborhood route, distance according to mapmyrun). 11.53 left
