    Today and tomorrow are rest days for me because I have a half marathon on Saturday. What's everyone doing for their workouts today though? I thought about just working on my abs at home tonight. I figured it can't hurt to bust out some crunches and planks before bed.

    Good luck on your half!!! What is the name of your half?? I hope to be able to run halves again but not sure if my knee will cooperate... just hoping to get through a 5K at this point and will see in 2 weeks how that goes!

    Hope you have a good time with your half, srcardinal!

    Today was a pool day, which I love.

    30 mins of breast stroke (1000 m)
    15 mins of butterfly (mostly butterfly drills, trying to smooth out the stroke so I don't feel like an inchworm flopping down the lane!)

    TGIF! Today is my last Jillian Ripped in 30 workout!!! My 30 days took about 45 or so as I alternated it with running days! Looking forward to starting something new. Also will be getting in my mile or so dog walk!
    It does not really count towards exercise but I am doing the winter to summer clothes transition and getting rid of stuff and also will probably will be cleaning if I have time. I have the day off work since I work tomorrow!

    Walking to/from the car today at school, and around the lab for the final - total of a measly 29 minutes. At least it will get better from here!

    Today is a bit of a rest day meaning no structured workout... but planning on taking the dog for a good hike and maybe some stretching.

    Ho-ing it up after work today with Cassey Ho! Today is arm and abs with her. I also walked 2.15 miles at lunch and did my daily squat challenge of 75 squats. Feeling like I'm starting this week off with a BANG!

    I'm doing 60 minutes a day either running outside or on the elliptical. I've been doing this for a week, but I think I'm going to call today a rest day, as I'm not feeling to well, and am unusually tired. But I'm happy with the progress I have been making in terms of commitment.

    With a new knee brace for the worst flaky knee, I decided to hit the weight room again to see how things held up. I was astonished at the results!

    Increase in reps for ALL exercises at or a little above the last weights I had been using except:
    Leg press - keep that one down under weight due to knee problems, but boosted the reps, and BOY did I feel the BURN!
    Inclined bench - I would have upped the weight, but since everything else was upping in reps, decided to go that route on these as well. Especially since I didn't have a spotter - don't know where our floor person disappeared to, and everyone else was involved in their own workout group. (I'm brave enough to ask for a spotter, but when everyone is super busy, I back off and try not to interrupt.) Even so, I STILL pushed the "working" weight from last time through all of the reps! (And, the arms are talking about me in nasty tones tonight, too!)

    What kind of knee brace are you using?? I have knee arthritis and was thinking of trying one to help with when I run..
