Laura, hope your gym routine goes well. Also hope that tomorrow isn't too bad. Try to get a good night's sleep tonight. Sherry, sounds like you are ending the week with a bang! Marla, glad that things are going well with you too. Quick run down of my weekend. Friday: supposed to drive to a K9 nosework trial about 5 hours…

I'm running more often during the week, but with a shorter long run than planned (10k), so hitting the 14+ miles/week goal but not quite as I expected to do it.

I've had people ask me which surgery I got. Ummm .. none.

Congratulations, Zanne, on your run! I can't imagine being able to do a 10k in an hour at the moment, but someday! Had my last RunSmart class this morning. I'm going to miss doing them! I asked about the future and was told that the classes were so popular that they will come up with some sort of version again in the…

Good morning! I took a semi-rest day yesterday and just walked rather than do any real running or workouts. Started this morning with RunSmart class (my last one) and plan to do a small run and my trainer's homework tonight. Tonight/tomorrow I'll be driving to NY state and back, so see you all on Saturday. I'm enjoying…

RunSmart class this morning and since it was the last week, he really pushed us. He had us run a mile as quickly as we could then cool down walk for 2 minutes then three series of core exercises in a row. I did a lot of walking at work. Came home and then ran to my workout with my trainer and then home. I am sore!!! Ready…

One thing that I used was that "if I didn't complete the run, then I would have to repeat it again". During the end or the last set, I would tell myself, "Do you want to stop now and then have all the running you've done, so far today, not count, or do you want to complete the run." That usually helped me keep on task and…

Great race, Tim! and your wife! Zanne54, you will do great in your 10k race! You're set! Petra, your hill run sounds fun. If you have to have just one, it's nice that it's a good one! When I run up my hill I get to see a highway on one side and a mall on the other. Good luck with the 5k, John! Sounds like a challenging…

Seems like everything is looking better today! Had a busy weekend at a nosework trial. Just worked and the dogs stayed in their crates most of the weekend being good .... Well Colin was good. Fells "found" a granola bar in my purse and ate half of it before I could get it away from him. He and Colin were crated in someone…

I need to alter my goal to better fit my life. I didn't get 30 active minutes today (yes, I know it hasn't started yet, but this was an experiment). Because I was 1) on my feet all day and 2) the dogs were crated most of the day, I didn't see the point of trying to get active minutes in other than getting a badge on the…

Long run today. Tired and sore. But I did it! The distance wasn't new, only 6 miles, but I did it as a 2.5 mile farklek run followed by a 3.5 easy run. The farklek run really tired me out and made the easy run harder.
-
Long run today. Did a stop and go run today for the first time. So far all I've ever done is run-walk or run the distance for the day. Today I: -- Went to the local computer store; wearing my empty laptop case; RUN-stop for the light-RUN-stop for the light-RUN-stop for the light- RUN-enter the shop (1.25 miles) -- Paid for…

If you interpret breakfast as when you "break" your "fast" then obviously it's the most important meal of the day, because if you never have a first meal (whatever time you eat it) then you aren't going to be able to have a second or third meal and you'll likely starve if you keep it up for too long. I found it funny that…

Goal: Get at least 30 active minutes a day * Track: Will report Reward: Samsumg S 5 * My company has a plan with Virgin Health Miles where you wear their pedometer and it tracks your steps and active minutes. I haven't really used this as I couldn't wear my pedometer at work and it was hard to put it on and take it off and…

I gave up cola 4 years ago. Since then I haven't had a drop and I never plan to. I gave it up previously 7 years ago. Then I read that having it in moderation was fine. I drank one. Then I could help thinking about it, the taste, the way it made me feel more awake, I had to have another! Soon it was a daily habit and I…

Terrific, Beth! Always nice to read of great fun runs. Glad to "see" you lawlorka. Glad also that your PF is better! Took a generally rest day yesterday. Had an 11 hour work day, but with lots of walking during it going from building to building all day. Then I came home and took a long brisk walk with the poor dogs that…
-
RunSmart class this morning. I hope to get in a short run this evening too. Glad things are better, Sherry.
-
Rest day today! I had a really long work day, but it did involve some walking, and when i did get home I took the dogs for a walk, too. So i did get a lot of walking in today, but that's about it. Hope that the weather doesn't postpone your surgery, Laura. Hope things are better tomorrow, Sherry, and hope you're feeling…
-
Thanks all for the positive comments! Nice getting the run in, John. A hotel treadmill isn't the most fun, but you got it done! Great PR, Beth! Congratulations! Congratulations to your wife, too, Tim! Good to "see" you again, madmiss, despite you being so busy. I hate it when life conflicts with my plans. And nice runs to…
-
Sherry, I think that you're getting quite a bit of exercise and weight lifting, just dealing with the kids. Glad that you got some sleep, Marla Hope the weather wasn't as bad as expected today, Laura. This morning I had my RunSmart class with the emphasis on the core today. I had some extra treadmill work and got in a mile…

Had my first meeting with my personal trainer today. It wasn't a training session, just an evaluation. He had me do a series of strength and/or flexibility moves and measured them. I didn't feel like I did really well, but then, maybe this way I have a lot that can be improved, right? :) Ran to and from the fitness studio…

I had my first session with my personal trainer today. It was just an evaluation. so he had me do a variety of things, like squats, lunges, and other strength or flexibility moves and measured them all. He wrote everything down. My first real session will be tomorrow evening. Really looking forward to it! Ran the 1.5 miles…

Hi, I'm Donna. I've been running for a little less than a year. I did my first, and only race so far, last July. It was a trail 5k that I did in about 50 minutes. I run 5k multiple times a week now, also weekly 10ks, and am faster. I'm currently planning to run a half marathon next November and hope to do one or more 5 or…

Good Morning! Had an interesting weekend. Went to a flyball tournament where a teammate's dog was to earn a really high award. She did it and so we partied all weekend. So 1) I got a lot of exercise, walking, sprinting, and lifting (the box, crates, Fells, etc) all weekend 2) I ate way too much cake. Also, was stuck with…

Yes! Come join us!

Baseball cap Beyond that, you have to figure out what works best for you. I would wear my capris, short sleeve shirt, arm warmers w/the plan to remove them at some point/fairly quickly, baseball cap, and my rain poncho w/the option of removing it if I need to.

Went to RunSmart class this morning. 5.5 minutes on the treadmill, squat routine, 5.5 minutes on the treadmill, squat routine, then done, but my legs will be howling about it all day. I can tell.
-
So, I think that I have gotten in 60 minutes of exercise 6 days a week, if I allow dog events to count -- DONE Haven't done as much or as structured Convict Conditioning as I wanted to, but: - it did make me more aware of my form -- MY PUSHUPS AND SQUATS HAVE BETTER FORM - and started me on some exercises I wasn't doing --…

Sherry, I think you do a terrific job of squeezing in the exercise where you can. I really love today's saying! It's something I really need to keep in mind when times get tough. RunSmart this morning. My legs and thoghs are killing me after Tuesday's RunSmart focusing on the core but with plenty of legs stuff, last…

Love Reeses cups!! Ran to Metabolic Conditioning class tonight and back home. It was cold and windy. I really want some Spring before we're sunk deep into hot and humid Summer! So about 5k total back and forth with circuit training in between. Need chocolate!
