Green: Yes
Streak: 2/10
Goal: 19/26
Exercise: I did a strength/circuit training workout today. I didn't feel like doing it, and it was much tougher than I wanted it to be, and I was glad when it was over. The important thing is that I actually did the workout.
@bbinoa My half is October 18th, and I feel like I'll be ready. My goal was to complete my training by the end of this month, and once I finish my long run this Sunday (aiming for 12.5 or so miles), I'll be set. I wanted to relax my body some a few weeks prior to the race, which is why I wanted to be done by September. I was loosely following the Galloway method as well. I liked his the best because I only had to run 3 times a week. I'm so lazy. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Definitely cheer me on for race day. I'll need all the support I can get. I may aim for a full marathon next year or the following, but for now, I'll stick to the half marathons.0 -

Took Sweet Baby James to a tiddler swimming class again - poor thing had a very wobbly bottom lip because the water was cold. He didn't want to leave the pool though.

Exercise: I enjoyed a nice light run today.
@k80flec I don't blame Sweet Baby James about that cold water. I'm sure I've had a wobbly lip a time or two myself.
Glad he finally enjoyed it/warmed up. 0 -

I've lost track of just about everything in my life over the last week, including my stats here. But I'm logging!
I think to finish out the month I'll just post red or green and whether I exercised or not just to keep it simple and still be accountable.
So today, the 27th, was green and I walked 11 miles.0 -
9.26 & 9.27
Green: Yes & Yes
Streak: 5/10
Goal: 22/26
Exercise: Yesterday I did an hour long walk and today I did a 12.5 mile run. Today was my last long running day until my half marathon in 3 weeks, and boy am I glad about that. I am hoping the adrenaline will keep me going on race day because I notice I start losing steam between miles 10 and 11. I'll just do some light 3 mile runs from now until the big race. I'm really looking forward to dining at my favorite Mexican restaurant following my half marathon. That's my reward for all my hard work. I literally run for food. Ha, ha, ha. Those tortilla chips and salsa won't have a fighting chance that day. 0 -
I have been having MFP issues! I normally log in on the app from my phone, but for whatever reason, all the discussions in the group disappeared
As a rule, I generally don't go near a computer when I'm not at work so haven't been able to log in and check things here. They're still missing from the app (I'm on a computer now). Although on the plus side I can see everyone's profile pics better (cute dog @R_Queenie !)
I've also kind of lost track of (and momentum for) some accurate logging. Boo! I think my last few were red, green, red. Good thing we've got a new month coming up soon! October is my last month of marathon training (yikes!). I did 6 miles this weekend. Next week is 17, then another low one, followed by 20. Marathon date is 11/8. Not much longer!
@Laughter_Girl You will rock the half! I know it!! You need a couple weeks of reduced miles before a race like that. Stay hydrated and think positive thoughts!
@jenthibert I'm expecting awesome stories of your marathon walk!! Not much longer for you either. Woop woop!
@k80flec awwww, I bet that water was chilly for your grandson, but at least he warmed up and had a good time! Is he swimming on his own??0 -

Goal: 22/26
Exercise: It was a rest day today. I was hoping to get a workout in this evening, but I worked a lot later than expected. The only thing I had the energy to do was eat.
I'm really looking forward to October. This is the first month in forever that I have not reached my Green goal. :-(0 -
Yesterday was green. Short hike with hubby after working later than normal.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that has lost track this month!0 -

Went to my local library tonight to hear a presentation by the oldest woman to through hike the Appalachian trail. She was 75. Amazing inspiration! Still hiking. I loved that it wasn't even this big event, it's just what she does. So cool!0 -
Yesterday (29) was green with 30 minutes of jogging on the treadmill.
75 and the whole Appalachian Trail? That is inspiring! Very cool...0 -
Happy last day of September!
Today was green, squeaked by!
I know @Laughter_Girl will appreciate my newest story
so, I'm planning for a 17 mile long run this weekend, only problem (besides the fact I'm doing 17 miles) is there is a category 3 hurricane expected. Still waiting to hear where and when it will hit and how soggy we may be in PA, but I'm planning to try to run. I was looking for stuff to wear and my husband tells me he's got a poncho I can borrow. Oh.... do I need a picture!! Are ponchos one size fits all? This one must be for a family of four! I put it on and it was an inch from the floor and completely covered me hooded head to toe and arm to arm. Plus it was bright blue. He suggested I belt it. Because you know, accesories make the outfit, right? The image of me with big blue on plus all my other gear is absolutely priceless! In case you're wondering, I opted for a traditional windbreaker. 0 -

Green: No & Yes
Streak: No streaks this month.
Goal: 23/26 - Thank God for a new month!
Exercise: Yesterday I did a circuit workout, and today I did a quick run.
@bbinoa You definitely cracked me tonight, and I needed that laugh. I think your hubby suggesting the belt was the best. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I pray the weather cooperates long enough for you to get your 17 miles done.0 -
@bbinoa, hoping the hurricane misses you AND me! Walking the marathon Sunday and right now they're expecting it to miss us.
Yesterday was green with exercise!0 -
@Laughter_Girl oh my gosh, yes! The suggestion to belt a shower curtain was definitely the best part. I told the story at work and we were crying at the point !
@jenthibert woohoo! Marathon time! It looks like Joaquin won't be up here till late Sunday early Monday if it comes up the coast. I guess the other stuff is just normal rain. Wishing you the very best !!! 0 -
