Monsters, Inc. May - move like Roz is watching challenge

[LizardQueen8]

I finally ran 5K! Well, run 5min/walk 1min but I usually give up at ~2km! Also it took 40min. So that's not great.

40 minutes sounds pretty good to me. Took me 46 minutes today .

60 minutes running/walking brings me to 715/1000.

One bouncy Sulley Head goes to Sleeping*Beauty! for the correct answer to today's trivia question!

20 min 5k! OMG I don't think I could ever run that fast even in my dreams! I'm a solid 30-40 min 5k runner (depending on health, weather, training and the course) and after 4 years of training I know for certain im happy with that. As long as you're having fun- that's all that matters!

He is 6'3" and all legs, so I think that helps with the speed (comparatively, I'm 5'6" with teeny little crocodile legs). I'm glad to have seen all the positive responses to my time here- I didn't mean to belittle anyone else's run times, I honestly just have nothing to compare to but his times so I thought I was doing a terrible job.

After a few pretty much sedentary days, I went out for a run this morning ... total of 87 minutes (including warm up and cool down). I may have to find a new place to run soon, because the circus is in town and pretty soon my park will start smelling like popcorn and circus animals.

749/930

@Trith - Congrats on the run! 40 mins is a pretty good pace for your first 5K - and if you keep going, you'll probably get even faster!

Thanks! I have a huge stubborn streak, so even though I'm not the biggest fan of running I want to beat my time!

The smell of popcorn would be brutal, good luck finding a new route!

80 minutes at the gym, high gravity day but what can you do?

I have no minutes to report for today kudos to everyone who got out on a Sunday and exercised. I finally made it to the Lilac Festival, my husband was working and my teenage son, was well, a teenager and opted to stay home. So it was me and my daughter. We covered a lot of ground!! I definitely got in more than 10,000 steps!! My daughter had a brief scare with her diabetes but we got it under control. The festival had great food, drink, flowers and entertainment. I cannot confirm or deny if I had a lobster roll, curly fries with cheese and a couple of summer shandy's

 

[JoshMom5]

Good day today...35 minutes. 425/800

 

[hmack]

we've had an awesome day today! Yeah TEAM!

I factored in my minutes for today that brought me up to 906/1200

Thanks you everyone, we're at only 573 minutes to go to hit 50%. Yep! only 573!

 

[5xdisneyfans]

Well today I worked on our gardens for three hours. Sweaty and dirty but final am back to see if I can get back on track here.

200/1000

 

[Figment1990]

You can add a 35 min run to the team total and mine too! Got in a run this evening even after a little baseball practice w my son. Thanks to that extra sweat session with him, I got in all my steps today!

400/700

 

[roxymama]

And as a team we're at 49.02%, that's only 263 minutes away from turning our team Celia Purple!! So get in those numbers!! I love watching our first team post change colors!

 

[lisah0711]

Kudos to everyone for putting those minutes in this week-end! Love the beautiful colors on page 1.

75 minutes of yard work and planting of all the annuals yesterday brings me to 880/1000

Thank you! But not a real race, just ran around the neighbourhood. Not quite ready for racing yet (although I just signed a for a 5k foam run in July, eek!). I think I felt especially slow because I was with my BF who can do 5k in 20 minutes or so and I could tell how much I was slowing him down.

With a time of 40 minutes I'd say you are ready for a real race now! I'm just barely in the 40's for my 5k time. You really can't compare your time to your BF's (although it is hard not to) because he has long legs and testosterone and that is something that we ladies just can't match, but we excel in other areas.

20 min 5k! OMG I don't think I could ever run that fast even in my dreams! I'm a solid 30-40 min 5k runner (depending on health, weather, training and the course) and after 4 years of training I know for certain im happy with that. As long as you're having fun- that's all that matters! So true!

And lisa0711- thanks for the reminder about compression sleeves. I think I'll dig mine out today. It's been a while since I've had shin pain and I think I was heel striking more than normal last week during one of my runs and that caused it. Today my legs feel almost back to normal!

Glad to hear that your legs are feeling better Figment!

The Lilac Festival looked like a lot of fun, pix13dust, and summer shandys -- yum!

 

[SarahDisney]

No minutes to report at the moment (hopefully later today - I'm planning to walk down to Starbucks this afternoon), but I just wanted to say how impressed I am at the rainbow of colors on the front page. Everyone is doing really well at getting in those minutes! I really am impressed - it looks like a lot of people will met or exceed their goals this month!

 

[PSUTraveler]

Ok I'm back!

After an extremely lazy week last week (it was bad, and I mean bad), I managed to pull myself together for my 10 mile race on Sunday. My leg was feeling better by Friday and I was hopeful that with compression sleeves and taking it easy I would be ok.

It was hot and humid, and the course was ALLLLLL hills. Seriously, I don't think any section of the course was flat. For extra fun, they had us run a mile uphill at mile 8. And there were a bunch of turns, so we would run up a hill, turn a corner, and...see another hill. Ugh!

With all that I was really pleased with my time. And it was great training for the run I will apply for later this year, which is filled with hills as well. But next year, I'm doing the Wildwood half marathon to give myself a break!

Sunday: 98 minutes running

796/1500 (finally over 50%)!!

 

[LizardQueen8]

40 minutes strength training, 20 minutes on the bike. Once again, the only thing thing that got me to the gym was knowing I'd change colors if I did.

775/1000

 

[galaxygirl76]

50 minutes of core training and a 40 minute walk brings me to 662/1000.

 

[5xdisneyfans]

90 minutes of yard work today.

290/1000

 

[pix13dust]

Great job on your run PSUTtraveler!!

60 minutes walking the dog and doing gardening.
740/1100

 

[Trith]

70 minutes at the gym.

820/1200

Congrats to all the colour changers!

@pix13dust I forgot: HOLY COW those curly fries look amazing. I actually called my bf over to drool over look at that picture. Looks like an great event!

 

[runsandjumps]

Thanks for changing my goal. Next time I won't overestimate quite so much.

I did some shopping cardio today- so even though it was a few hours I will count it as 30 minutes walking. Also yard work goes for about 30 minutes.


260/500

 

[SarahDisney]

72 minutes walking today

821/930

If my math is right, I'm 16 minutes away from Roz Red. Hopefully I can get that in tomorrow or Wednesday!
