Happy 4th of July to all! Got up and checked my weight on the scale and it said 146.5lbs URGH!! What did I expect really with no exercise and eating badly. So I put my running shoes on and went for a 7 mile run. It felt good to get outside and run again. Richard said that he is thinking of starting to run again which is…

Well I got myself outside for a 3.5 mile run and I am still struggling! I am beating myself up for letting myself get into unhealthy habits and I am feeling it BIG TIME in my running! Marla: don't worry I am also going to bow out gracefully out of the TUFF challenge since I am going to be on holidays for two weeks but I…

Hi everyone, Sorry I went a little MIA the last couple weeks but I am back and motivated to stick to my training schedule for my full marathon on September 28th! I went for a 4 mile run today and WOW does your body forget how to run very fast, hopefully tomorrow's run will be more enjoyable! But it is my punishment for…

Today I took a day off from running or biking. I cleaned windows with my better half for two hours so I am just relaxing today!!!

It is cloudy outside but I got my running shoes on and ran a total of 9.40 miles in 1:34:03 minutes. I got leg cramps halfway through the run I think it was lactic acid build up and had to stop and rub my legs for the rest of my run my legs were good! Hope everyone has a great day! Going to a friends for a BBQ tonight I am…

Today was a very good day I woke up and went for a 7.28 mile run and then got my haircut!!! Afterwards it was so nice outside so I went for a 15.5 mile bike ride! I made fusili with sausage and vegetables for dinner it was very good. I am two pounds from my first goal of 140 lbs. I just keep telling myself only 2 pounds to…

Well today was the first time that I felt like myself for the past week I have had a stupid Cold which did not allow me to exercise. I ran 8 miles in 1:17:23 minutes not too bad considering that I didn't run all week long. Maureen: That is great that you were able to run even though you are still not 100%. Every little bit…

I am finally feeling like myself again and I hope to run tomorrow. I haven't been able to do any exercise this week so far so I am nervous about tomorrow's run but it will be fun!

MyJune goal is to run 150 miles this month and get some bike workouts in as well! Also get healthy choices of foods and not junk!

Hi everyone, Well I still have this bloody cold and I haven't been exercising this week. I am planning on going for a run on Sunday hopefully by then my body will be healed and I will be able to breathe normally. Hope everyone is having a good week and weekend!

Hi everyone, Well it looks like I wouldn't skip the cold and flu that everyone is talking about. I have been down for the past two days with a fever and bad headache hence I did not get any exercise in. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel like myself again and get a run in! Can't wait to hear from everyone!

Well I woke up this morning and my sinuses were bugging me so I took some Tylenol cold and sinus. I think it is my allergies it sucks! Richard and I went for a 20 km bike ride it was his first ride of the season so I didn't push as hard. It took us 26 minutes longer than my ride yesterday but I was soaking up the sunshine!…

Well I went for my first bike ride on my new set of wheels and am loving it! I went about 20 KMS and I am going to a BBQ tonight. I am going to pick up some chicken breast so I will have that healthy choice instead of hamburgers! I am loving the sun shining and can't wait for my bike ride tomorrow with my better half! Have…

Happy Friday everyone, Pam that is awesome about your workout I need to get more strength training into my routine. I went for another run today with a total distance of 7.09 miles in 1:06:12 minutes. My pace was a little slower today but I was able to push myself through a very steep hill which I usually dread and end up…

I haven't run for a couple days and I have been eating horrible food choices so this morning I decided enough is enough. I put my running shoes on and ran 7.54 miles n 1:08:19 minutes which is a very good pace of 9:04 min/mile. I felt great and this just gives me more reason not to eat unhealthy foods! It is not going to…

Hi everyone Well I am back to the grind now! I feel like a bag of crap got my period and I am totally dragged out.

Getting back to eating healthy and I a, on week 4…

Well I got in a run yesterday it was beautiful outside I went 4.8 miles instead of 3.5 miles which was really good. I might be MIA for the next couple days because I am traveling for a family funeral and I don't really want to stress about logging each day. I will try to keep track of what I eat at least and I am planning…

Hi everyone, Well I didn't get any real exercise in yesterday due to court proceedings with work but hey I WON!!! But I did walk for about 30 minutes.

Hi everyone, I was planning on getting a 3 mile run in today but work got in the middle and I am WAY TOO tired to get a run in now! I was also starving today probably because I exercised so much yesterday and didn't eat that much. I still was successful in making healthy choices of foods to eat. Pam: I am very envious of…

Well I really outdid myself today by 12:13pm I completed a Tricp/Bicep workout and ran 30 minute tempo run totaling 3.5 miles! After work I was tired but I managed to bike 16.4kms and now my butt is SORE!! I drank 13 glasses of water today since it was so hot outside. I am happy with my food choices as well. Awesome job…

Hello Everyone, I did a Chest/Back routine in the early morning following a 3 mile run which I completed in 25:53 minutes.

But…

Well I didn't get a chance to exercise since I needed to drive 5 hours to get back to work. I live 3 hours away from work and do room and board for 6 days at a time. I didn't over eat today which was a good thing but I didn't drink much water, Tomorrow I am planning on running in the morning and doing a strength routine!…

Brought my Mom's dog for a walk today since I was beautiful outside today. I should have gone for a run but I decided to rest with my fiancé which only got us to start fighting. Why do men have to be so complicated and stress the crap out of me! Tomorrow I am planning on going for a run before my doctors appointment! Have…

My next one is July 22nd and I am starting the Hal Higdon's intermediate program which I really enjoy. I like to be able to combine strength training which really helps with my running pace.
