I Ran 10K...So Now What?
Last week I finished the Hal Higdon novice 5K-to-10K program. I focused solely on building distance. I made note of my pace after each run but never looked during the run. The first several weeks of training I had negative splits because I would start out cautiously and then speed up when I got to the point where I knew I…

Thursday 9/19
Happy Thursday, everyone! Final day before tomorrow's weigh-in. How is everyone doing with their goals? Are your fitness goals on track? What's the plan for today? Today is one of my lighter workout days - I have a trainer session after work and will get on the rowing machine as a warm-up. Will try to get out for a walk…

Happy Friday Diehards! How did everybody do this week? Did you reach your goals?
-
Thursday 8/29
Whoo hoo it's Thursday! Everybody ready for the weigh-in tomorrow? My training schedule is lighter this week with my gym closed so the scale doesn't seem to want to budge, but I'm hoping to see a loss tomorrow anyway. I did my 2 mile hill run this morning, and am scheduled to see my trainer tonight at the park but it…

Wednesday August 28
Happy Wednesday everyone! Or at least I'm pretty sure it's Wednesday. It's one of those weeks. :laugh: What's the plan for today?

Tuesday 8/27
Happy Tuesday Diehards! How will you make today awesome? Commitments? Goals? Challenges? Inspiration for others?

Random things that make me feel like a "real" runner
This morning as I was running and it wasn't totally light out it occurred to me if I got hit by a car and was unconscious (or worse) nobody would have a clue who I am, so I just redeemed one of my Earndit rewards toward a Go Sport ID bracelet with my name, emergency contact info, and my personal motto I use to keep myself…

It's The Weekend! 8/24 & 8/25
Happy Saturday, everyone! What's on your agenda for the weekend? I woke up early so I got my run in right away - 4 miles today. I have nothing else on the agenda for today except my usual household chores. Tomorrow morning I've lined up a walk with a friend since my gym is closed for remodeling and Sunday is usually a gym…
-
Thursday 8/22
It's 7:20 central time and we have no Thursday thread! Hopefully the diehards come back strong once September rolls around and schedules get back to normal. Everybody ready for tomorrow? It's my rest day today so beyond a walk at lunch not much activity, but I've been eating well and drinking lots of water. Still got my…
-
Wednesday 8/21
Happy Wednesday, DIehards! How's everybody's week going? For those of us who took up krk's challenge to try to lose 2 pounds this week how's it going? The scale is not my friend this week - I've been eating well and getting in my workouts but it's just not moving the way I want it to. But I'm not giving up! Sometimes the…

Diehards - What Are Your Weight Loss & Fitness Goals?
I'm guessing that many of us have weight loss goals. We've had a lot of success in this group, and I'm wondering if any of you have changed your original goal because of that success. For those of you already on maintenance, did your goals shift at all along your journey? When I signed up with my trainer in February I set…

Saturday 8/17
Any diehards around today? Weekends are pretty quiet but wanted to post and wish everybody a happy Saturday! Supposed to be hot here today so I got my run in early. Nice to get my 10K steps in by 9:00 am. :happy: Otherwise just my usual commitments - eat well, drink lots of water.

Progress Updates?
How's everybody doing? I had kind of a rocky week (finished the 24 days and made some poor choices) but I'm ready to get back on track.
-
Tuesday 7/30
I was happy to see so many diehards post yesterday - an awesome start to the week! :laugh: What's your plan to make today awesome too? My water weight from this weekend's over-indulgence is gone and I'm into new territory on the scale for the first time in a couple weeks, so I'm really happy about that. My commitment for…

Mini (or Major) Success Stories
BBB pointed out that we've kind of been slacking off since our reorganization. Summer is busy, but I don't want to lose this awesome support system that we've built. Many of us have had struggles with eating and exercise and that's going to happen, but I want to hear some success stories. I don't care if they're huge or if…

Monday 7/29
Good morning! How's everybody this Monday? I got in my run this morning (2.5 miles on a hilly route). Trainer session after work. Had a good day yesterday as far as food & activity so am feeling like I'm back on track.
-
Saturday 7/27
There are only a few diehards who usually post on the weekends, but I'm starting a thread for today anyway. After really eating well for a couple of months this week was inconsistent. It wasn't a train wreck, but it was definitely a fender bender. I'm mentally ready to get back on track. Today's commitment - GET BACK ON…

Sunday July 21 Commitment
What's on the agenda for today, diehards? My trainer wants me to get outside & do something active today, so my plan is to go walk my favorite nature trail. It's hilly and wooded. In the winter it's a groomed cross-country ski trail, so there are 2.5K, 3.5K or 5.5 K options. I was supposed to walk with my cousin but she…
