40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Found you last month and then got busy and didn't think to check the board on a regular basis, forgetting it's not like the news feed on the home page with constant updates :blushing: So just took the time to catch up since my last post. SO MANY inspiring people here, I definitely will make it part of my routine when I log in now to check in and see how you are all doing.

Did my first 5k last August, followed by one in November, December, and in January at Disneyland. I had never been a runner before and after doing the c25k last summer got the courage to try. I am not fast at all but have been able to meet my goal of jogging the whole race. Well, now I am signed up for a 5k in April and have been trying to get my 3 mile runs in and am having a problem not being able to jog the whole time :grumble: Maybe because I've been focusing on my gym workouts & zumba more these past couple months? Anyway, hoping to get back into it so I do well in April.

Have a good week everyone!

Beeps--glad you're having a good time in Maui. Saving to go there for our 25th anniversary next year.

I haven't checked in for a while, but my running is still going well. Training for my first half marathon in May is going well. My long runs are up to 11-12 miles now and I've been over 20 miles a week for the last month. I have my first 5 mile race this Sunday, and the weather looks like it is going to be great - looking forward to it. Also, can't wait to take on some long hikes in the spring when the snow and mud starts clearing out.

Good morning. How is everyone? I gained 10 pounds over the last two months and I am getting back into my old routines. So slow and steady I go. Walked four miles yesterday and I felt good. Its all in the mind. Shaking some clouds out of mine.

Ummm, what time is it? dont remember a thing, where am i?di we do it lastnight? was i any good?, im going back to bed, wait is this my place or yours? can i make a sandwich?

Wait.... What?????

I, at times, have the same problem. I will lose a thread and then have to go searching for it.:laugh:

Click on "My Topics" and it will show you all the topics you have posted on.

:flowerforyou: sdereski, I hope that your gym gets back into business soon. I would freak out if mine were to close for a long time.

Umpire, that is how I find my threads but this one particular thread just disappeared for a couple of days and then re-appeared. Strange.

At least I understand this site better than I do my new cell phone !!!!:laugh:

Hi everyone.... Hope all is well with you all.

Thank you Swiss for checking in on me. Your very sweet! (((HUGS)))

I did miss all of you I've just been caught up in my new job and getting used to the new morning hours. I have never in my life been a morning person. Add to that my lack of energy equals a very tired girl. Does anyone know any good supplements that help with energy? I find myself to be extremely tired all the time.

I'm planning on moving things out of the room I set up for my brothers girls and putting back my exercise equipment. Also find a home for the generator sense my hubby decided to leave it in front of my treadmill while it was folded up for the holidays. I need to get back on track. Maybe sense it's such a beautiful day I'll go for a walk outside.

I'll check in a little later in the day and let ya know what all I got accomplished.

Not pushing 40, I'm dragging it! 41 in 5 months.

What do I tell everyone trying P90X or X2? - Don't skip the Yoga!

After games last night and getting home late and my shoulders being mush after this week bet you can't guess what happened to me this morning... I skipped Yoga

Am going to really try not to skip it this time. I know it has amazing benefits! Took your hiccups away - that was REALLY impressive. :happy:
Actually, I never "skipped" it, I just didn't ever do the entire workout.

Hello all,

Robin - nice to see you back. I did read your blog and really enjoyed it. You should be SO proud of yourself...you really did a great job.

I did start back up again, and have YOGA tomorrow!! Oh no!! Part of the problem is that my DVDs don't work that great. The first have of the Yoga DVD is fine, then it starts freezing up. Plyo doesn't work at all and shoulders & arms and Core freeze up constantly! So frustrating!! My g/f has P90X and Insanity on her computer.
ter and is going to download a copy of each for me. Hoping that will help. I love the yoga poses, its the vinyassas that drive me nuts, but it's the poses part of the DVD that does not work.:grumble: However, I WILL give it an honest attempt tomorrow.

Robin, your results were great - saw a definite change in your body - you are looking fit and strong!

Not sure if I will be able to do all my consecutive days, as I do seem to be out of town a fair bit - long travel days, and I am in right smack in the middle of my marathon training schedule. Will do my best tho as it certainly does help with my overall strength.

Am taking part in another stained glass workshop this weekend. Will post a picture of my finished product.
Have a long run to do tomorrow. It's supposed to be sunny and warm. Am planning on doing that after my stained glass workshop.Glad for the longer daylight hours I'll get starting tomorrow. :happy: Don't forget to SPRING forward!

Silvana

I'm back from Hawaii. I am jet-lagged. I am not going to work-out tomorrow, and I"m pretty terrified of the heavy -lifting I have on the agenda for tomorrow.

Aaahhhh, as they say, back in the saddle, again....

Cheers, all!
