Charlie Daniels Drinking My Baby Goodbye and Merle Haggard Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink

I am a 57 year old personal trainer with an arthritic knee and I run. Not as fast, and not as far as I used to but I still run. I was at a track and field meet earlier this summer where I met an athlete of 86 competing in the long jump, high jump, and several running events. I was at another meet recently where a 70 year…

I am a NSCA CPT and am currently working on my CSCS (certified strength and conditioning specialist) credential.

I have to say I am quite amused by this entire thread. It is like debating which exercise machine is best. The answer is the one YOU will stay on on a regular basis. P90X is a life saver for some and a total waste of money for others. Any program that you commit to for an hour a day while eating clean will be beneficial.…

Good morning runners! I ran 4 miles this morning. I will go to the gym tonight to lift weights. Hope everyone has a great day. JD

Lately I have just been stalking this thread, but if Shannon and Kechie are back I might as well join in too! 3 miles for me this morning and now I am off to the gym for a weight work out.

On days when I am pushed for time I do a workout that consists of nothing but pushups. pullups, and ab strap crunches. I do 5 sets of each with minimal rest in between sets, and I am pumped and whipped when I finish. It is my most loved/hated workout! JD

Where are all of the runners today? I completed my first half marathon this morning. I have run the distance before, but always on my own. It was a great course.....mostly downhill. My leg that has been bothering me for several weeks was fine until about mile 10. I stopped twice to stretch it and finished strong. I hope…

12 miles for me this morning........on my bike. My calf is still sore from last weekend, but I wanted to be with my training group for their last run before next weeks half marathon. I hope am ready to go by then. JD

Four miles into an 11 miler I pulled a calf muscle. Luckily we were running two 5.5 mile loops so I only had to limp 1.5 back to the start. My half marathon is two weeks away. I hope I am better by then.

4.0 miles for me and a chest and triceps workout. JD

I ran 10.2 mi. with my training group this morning. It is absolutely beautiful in Austin today. We are supposed to hit 80 this afternoon. That is warmer than normal, and warmer than I like, but I won't compain about this kind of weather in January!

Good morning runners! Shannon- I guess we will make this morning a reunion of oldtime runner's club members. I ran 3 miles. I just wanted to take my new Garmin Forerunner for a spin. It is too cool. No more lying to myself about how fast my pace is. The info is all right there on my wrist! I hope everyone has a great day.…

Hello all! I did drills with my training group tonight and then a 30 minute tempo run. JD

Great running! I ran 6 mles this morning with my running group. My wife missed her 3 miler with her group, so I ran 3 miles with her this afternoon. JD

Hello runners I ran 3 miles this afternoon. Now I am off to the gym for some resistance training. JD

I ran the local Turkey Trot 5 miler this morning with my running group. It ended up being an interval run for me. I would run ahead, stop and take pictures of the group, catch up, race ahead, stop and take pictures etc.

Hello runners One year ago today I was in the hospital having a stent placed due to coronary artery disease. Today I ran 13 miles. It was a beautiful day for a run! I enjoyed today's activity far more than last year's!!! Good running to all, JD

Try exercises to strengthen your tibialis anterior. That is the muscle that runs beside your shin on the front of your leg. If you are seated in a chair, with your feet flat on the floor and raise your toes off of the floor toward your shin with your heel still on the floor, you will feel your tibialis anterior. Try adding…

Hello runners! I ran with my training group this morning. We were supposed to run 4.5 miles. Just past 3 miles I turned around to go back and run with some of the other runners. Our group is small and sometimes people end up running alone. All of the runners behind me made a wrong turn so I never found them. I ended up…

Good morning runners! I'm running with my training group this evening, but I have not even checked to see what is scheduled for tonight. I will do my chest and tricep workout after my run. Firegirlred-In answer to your question from yesterday...I am in north Austin, close to Steck and Mopac. I am going to run the Turkey…

Hello runners, I ran in the Komen Race for the Cure 5k this morning. We had close to 25,000 participants in Austin. It was a great run and a great cause! I ran 25;23 which is my best time since being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease almost one year ago, and actually my best time in 6 years. Hooray for running!!! Good…

Tricia-Great job!!! Glad to hear from you. We have missed your enthusiastic posts! Good luck on your 1/2. Hope things slow down soon. JD

WTG Kechie!! I am going to a spin/circuit training class later this morning. Good runs/rests to all! JD

I ran 4.5 miles this morning with a running group. It was nice change to run with someone. I still like the serenity of running solo, but having someone to push me once in a while won't be bad either. Great job everyone! JD
