Final day of Ripped week 1! I planted flowers for an hour but will not count it, I need more cardio, but too pooped to do more!

I'm thinking of running the 10k in cleveland That is part of their marathon's events. I lived there for a while and think it would be cool to run a race there now. And I'll be there that weekend anyhow so I really should just do it.... Sounds like a great field trip for your son, even if you don't make your 5k. I love downtown pgh stuff!

Thanks for the info on ripped- I love 30ds but am battling a shoulder issue right now so the arms parts are too much for me. Hopefully it will heal quickly so I can try this series too!

Sounds like a fun 10k. And it should be pretty flat, right? Hope your arm gets better fast

Walked to my mother-in-laws while DH & DSs drove. I thought it was farther! It was only 2.43 miles so I'm adding 33 minutes. It was cold (46 degrees) & windy today. Brrrrrr. It's May, darn it. Bring back the 70s!

Total=432/900

Thanks

Found a trail that has the cushy track material on it, but rather than at the track it's in a wooded area, so I have a feeling I'll be head back there often. Took the dog as well, so 73 minutes total should bring me to

437/900

if I did the math right!

75 minutes on the treadmill today. Did C25K and ran for 25 minutes straight......something I've NEVER been able to do before! I also improved my 5k time by a minute and 19 seconds (36:41).

Hey everyone!

I know I'm really late to the party this month but I'd love to join the challenge. I just need that extra motivation to get out and move and these challenges have worked for me before. If its alright, sign me for 400 minutes.

Got a question for y'all...I saw on the news this weekend that a runner in California had been killed by a group of dogs. Fourth time that's happened in Ca. in a couple of years. It made me wonder about carrying MACE or something while I run. So - do you all carry anything for protection while you run?

Welcome new movers!!

I completed day one of Ripped Week 2!! AAAARGH!! The blasted plank is going to kill me!! I could barely hold a plank for 30 seconds 30 days ago and now she wants me to be on it up to 4 minutes? HUH?? My shoulders felt violated!!

But, I completed it and 30 minutes treadmill with half on incline..

so I'm up to

Training for a dualthon (there is a tri option) so out for a 90 min run, 60 min bike ride and 30 min rowing.

I don't swim so used the rowing for the shoulder work most people get while swiming. At least that was my rational and I'm sticking with it.

I don't carry Mace or pepper spray when I'm out but there were a couple of times last summer I quite running and walked a different direction because of one dog. I think a pack would put the fright into me.

 

[lmhall2000]

This doesn't happen often but had more energy tonight so completed another 30 minutes on the treadmill...I am halfway there!!

45 min DVD and abs. I can really tell I haven't done anything except run since march. Time to step up the cross training. Do any of you other runners fall into this bad habit sometimes? All I want to do is run and then I realize.... Oops. Usually it's an ache or injury that reminds me.
