No run today, but hit the pool for a 1,200 yd swim. Just felt tired and definitely wasn't my best swim! Oh well, it is done. :laugh: Then did a shoulder and core workout.

Running a 5 mile race this Sat, so will not run until then! :bigsmile:

Six miles today in a light rain. It was actually kind of refreshing.

Didn't get to run this morning....:grumble: ...took something to help me sleep and it worked -- a little too good. Slept right through the alarm. I'll get in 5 miles tonight when I get home -- or else someone is going to get hurt! :devil: I really need those endorphins to make the day better -- so watch out world -- I cannot be held accountable for my attitude!!!!

LOL, I love it!! I feel the same way....I am so addicted to those endophines....I call it my runners high!

I won't be running until tonight since I stayed up way too late and didn't get up early enough. I'm going to hold a short class tonight anyways, so I should be able to get some running in.

Runnerdad, thanks so much for the info on gaining speed. That's excellent advice! I'm going to try it, too. (Jenn, thanks for asking that question)

Jess, good luck on your race.

Kechie, have fun at the pool! I'd rather be there than working, thats for sure!

Well, I've been rebellious about logging food/exercise this week and was kind of scared to jump on the scale. I put it off yesterday (my normal weigh in day) but thought, well, I guess I better check.

And

I lost 3 lbs!!!!

Woo hoo! I love running!!!!!!!!!!!!

And each pound of fat I lose, the faster my legs can carry me!!

Hope everyone has a great day!! Tomorrow is a day off work for me!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:drinker:
I think sometimes I think too much about calories -- and when I take time off logging I actually eat better. Sounds like you have made some great changes and it is showing on the scale! What a great reward!!!!

Hey Everybody!:flowerforyou:
I jogged 3, walked 2 then jogged 1 more mile faster than the first 3. It feels like I'm carrying someone else's legs when I'm running! :sick: I'm really sore and although it feels great to run again, it is frustrating to have lost so much speed. :frown: Well, at least I am able to do a little!

way to get back out there, christine...don't worry too much about losing speed. there have been times i've lost speed, even when i'm running regularly. so if you've been out with injury, the comeback may take a little readjustment (i know you know this, but maybe it helps hearing it from somebody else). in any case, you just keep it up, and see if that speed doesn't come back to you.

Just popping in really quickly today to drop a hint....RUN, don't walk to get this month's Runner's World. It has so many articles which relate directly to many of the current issues we've recently discussed! It is phenomenal!!!! Must read AND keep!
No run for me today. It's been a weird week....getting back on track next week!
Happy holiday weekend to everyone! Happy birthday America!!!!
Check in next week! :bigsmile:

Hang in there, Christine. It is better to start off slow after an injury anyway--I know, I have been there, come back and then been there again! Think of it as your body's way of making sure you don't do too much too fast!

3 miles for me today. I did some 400m repeats with a lap in between (half walk/half jog). My time on the fast laps was actually sub-8 min miles. Now I just need to stretch those into longer segments....

As a bonus today, I came home and got to help my dear hubby load some nice big cedar posts into his truck and trailer. If anybody has a "hankerin'" to do a country boy workout in Texas in the middle of summer, I can definitely hook you up!

Becky--I am impatiently waiting for my new Runner's World in the mail--I look forward to it every month!

Have a great day!
Jodi

Take care!

Ran a wonderful 5 mile nature course tonight! I think I found my "power" meal---bowl of honey nut cheerios, banana and some coffee. What does everyone else like to eat to fuel up before a run??

Hey Everybody! :flowerforyou:
I went back to the gym today. Did arms and abs. I also rode this recumberant bike? I worked sooo hard it seemed but only burned 150 cal in 30 min!!!! Then, at my moms, I got her bike out (that has been sitting in the garage since my dad bought it for her last year:laugh: ) and rode 4 more miles with my daughter. Then tonite I ran 1.5 and walked 1 on the treadmill. I wanted to test out the new running shoes I bought today. They are Brooks adrenaline 9 or something like that. I went to a running store and got fitted and told what shoe to buy. They kinda hurt my arch. I guess time will tell. They better work! They cost more than any shoe I've ever bought!:noway:

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!!!

Got some bad news this afternoon so I got rid of steam on a speed run. I wish I knew how far and how fast I ran, but sadly my nike+ thinger decided to die. Oh well
