[mrsdrake625]

501/750

Broke 500!!

Adding 20 mins of weights. Was going to go for a run but... lightning! so that meant weights at home.

Anybody have any good routines for that?

Lots of walking in and around airports today, but no exercise to log. I had hoped to get to my destination (traveling for business this week) in time for an evening workout, but I have a meeting in 15 minutes and my flight was delayed 3.5 hours getting here. Bummer. This is only my second day in June with no exercise, but I have been in such a groove. I can't let this put me off my routine.

 

[Rose&Mike]

approx 60 minutes light run and walk

I don't have a goal for you. If you have a goal and an update for the month, I will be happy to add you in.

Thanks, Rose!
The 10k went better than I could have hoped for. My knee was alerting me it was going to act up, so I took a few extra walk breaks and made it running to the end with no pain post-race. My pace on the running and walking segments was faster than I had anticipated, but it felt good. While the course was USATF certified, my Garmin says it was only 5.8 miles. We went under several long bridges, so I'm hopeful that when my Garmin lost satellite that it just got confused. But even if I believe my Garmin's time/distance, I still broke my goal time. I was hoping for an 11:25 pace, and I finished with an 11 min/mile. Official race results say my pace was 10:15 - I'm not sure that's physically possible for me, but impossible things happen everyday, right?

Saturday 6/22: 65 min run/walk
Sunday 6/23: 10 min PT

TOTAL 870/1200

Right there with ya! I've had a few 5k's where my avg. mile was 9:11. HUH????


Rose - I hit such a wall over the past few weeks that I knew I had to get my head back on straight and start making better decisions. That resulted in me staying on plan yesterday, within my points, and getting my butt out of bed this morning to hit up the elliptical before work. Sometimes the smallest things are enough to get us back on track!


6/24 - 75 min yoga
6/25 - 30 min elliptical

June = 693/1200

It has truly been a rough several weeks. I feel like a broken record.....

But, we are making some very definite changes. I started two a day cardio workouts of about 30-40 minutes each (for as long as my body puts up with it). Not to share tmi, but I think I am fighting that common problem girls have as they get older. Fun times. I am so nasty cranky that Mike suggested a couple of days in our lady of peace....you know for some r&r. Anyhow, like most things in life, some good is coming out of all this in that we are taking steps to change some things so that is good.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Six more days to change your colors!

Rose, I know all about the cranky and nasty as we get older. My DH sent me solo to WDW for a week to try and help me out.

I think if I asked mine would go for that. I am just miserable.

But the two a day workouts seem to be helping a little bit.

Nice to know I am not the only one, though I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I ran 3.2 miles this morning at a 10:56 average pace and walked 2.76 tonight at a 14:36 average pace. I was dripping sweat, but feel calm so that is pretty awesome.

Have a great night everyone!

Love this!

80 min at the hot and stuffy YMCA tonight lifting and running.

20 min of a torture, I mean pt this morning.

890/800 (I'm going to keep on plugging on!)

 

[DoomBuggieDriver]

Forgot to log this in last night. Did 50 minutes at gym with a combination of cardio and strength. I am going to keep going although I am at my goal. I have to say having this board to post to has really helped, and the best part is I am feeling a lot better physically and mentally than I did just a month ago.

Not sure if I will be able to squeeze anything in tonight, but I give myself a day off each week so this may be the day.

Anyway, thanks everyone.
