Walt's Warriors (Team 7) Miles and Hours

[hoosmi]

Hey kids!

Hope everyone had a good Easter weekend.

Here's my numbers:

Friday, walk 2 miles in 32 minutes.

Saturday, W/R 5 miles in about 70 minutes. I did this with my mom who is training for the Half. It was hysterical- first I had to outfit her because she didn't have anything remotely comfortable for running. Then I had to stagger our running portions so she didn't over do it her first day running. She cracked me up- you know how you can be euphoric and whiny at the same time?! Oh yeah- "why are we stopping now? I can keep going" followed immediately by "my foot hurts, I'll be swept for sure." It was cracking me up- how many times have we experienced the mood swings?! Then we ended our outing at a coffee shop where we had coffee and biscottis, but you know, baby steps...

Sunday, walked 8.5 miles in probably 2.5 hours. I walked 3 with DH and Emma and Harry. Harry finally fell asleep at the end of the 3. I dropped DH and Emma off with his relatives who were visiting. I didn't want to risk an awake, cranky baby so I kept pushing him. After another 5.5 miles he finally woke up, which was good since I was getting a little tired! But, I was pleased because I wanted to be able to add a bit more to the team total!

Way too much information, sorry!

Kate- your race sounds great! Good job!

Carrie- glad you're well!

Tracy- happy belated birthday!

Hi all--great numbers coming in! Congrats, Kate, on the race. And Carrie--woo-hoo!

I took Easter off (had my long run on Saturday) and came back with a short run plus strength training today. 3.5 miles and 65 minutes total with strength training.

Hi Warriors! Today I did 4 miles in 63 minutes.

I'm glad you're feeling better Carrie. Good job everyone!

Happy Monday!

Unfortunately, I was as ambitious as a lump of coal & did abso-freakin-lutely nothing today.

Sorry team..................

But I plan on doing "lunch runs" the next few days in the middle of a class I have to take the rest of the week. Hopefully, it will be a more productive week from here on out.

But I do not foresee using the bike. It is JUST so freakin' windy right now!!


On a happier note, I DID get my boat to the boat doctor today without wrecking myself, the boat or anyone else. I slap-a**ed flunked trailer towing in college, so this was a major accomplishment. Now. Hopefully the bill will not be TOO painful.

Good Morning Warriors!!!

For me... I did 40 min on the elliptical last night...2.6 miles! yay! It's crazy how the mind works. With in 3-5 min (1 song) I can go from happy, to sad, to hopeless, to kicking hiney, to why did I sign up for the Minnie, then to visualizing crossing the finish line, no energy, to plenty of energy.... CRAZY!! It's so hard for me to stay focused, I feel like my emotions area all over the place during my runs/workouts. I felt good after I finished! Any workout is good when I don't feel dead after! I'm not losing any weight, but...I know I am healthier. A few years ago, heck, a few months ago, 40 min on the elliptical would have been impossible! I remember when it was a struggle to just get 10. I actually probably could have gone a bit longer, but 40 min was on the schedule for XT (plus I had errands to run) so that's what I did.

Ok...now, someone give me a virtual pat on the back! I packed my lunch today!!! First time in months! I'm having lasagna and 3 garlic knots for lunch. We are trying to be more budget conscious so I went grocercy shopping (actually I did it online and then just picked it up! Well worth the $6 fee!!!) and bought some frozen lunches and some stuff for sandwiches and all. Let's hope this will get me through two weeks! I also hope this will help eat a bit healthier. I've done well cutting out the soda...now to tackle the sweets!

Ok folks...all for now! Wow, that was much longer than planned. Guess I'm a bit chatty today!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

JimB- What a slacker. I think you deserve a day of rest!

Stacie- you go, girl! Your mood swings during the workout made me laugh. I'm the same way. Whenever I want to stop, I always, always use the visualize yourself at a Disney race thing. I laugh at myself because I feel like such a dork, but it works! Good job bringing your lunch. I'm afraid I've had two breakfasts already, but I've been up four hours, so maybe it balances out. We've been trying to eat most of our lunches at home, but it's only about 1 mile to home from the office (advantage of a small town; disadvantage: I'm totally jealous of your grocery pick up thing!)

Hey warriers, first off thank you all for your encouragement!

Tracy- you're doing brilliantly, a 5 mile walk is certainly a long walk! Wahoo

Jim- i def think a rest day is fine, you put in 9.4 miles a couple of days ago and everyone has their off days!

Stacie- i'm amazed how consistently you exercise and manage to get yourself doing stuff. Totally agree with the mood changes- i always find i feel like giving up during mile2- but things usually pick up by 3! Way to go!

Carrie- I'm so so pleased your feelin better and did 8 miles!!! At a pace you were happy with must have been great then!

Becky- how can two lots of exercise be lazy?!!? Keep it up, you're doing fab and everyone deserves a break for easter

Jen- that's lovely that you can train with your mum. Sounds like an outing with my elder sister tho! You've done some hefty distances so i hope you're very proud of yourself.

Stacey- good job on the cross training- def warrier material!

3disneykids (I've lost your name again so sorry ) that's a great workout, 3.5m and weights- great job

Barb- 4 miles in 63mins is great- wahoo!

Just in from a 3mile run 28mins and cool 5mins total 33mins. It was hard work, my thighs felt like they cried the whole way round! Heading back to the TM on thurs for some warm training, it's still freezing and makes my head hurt

Take care guys

Great to see everyone here working so hard and I am determined to contribute albeit so very late!

Good Morning Warriors!! I did my walk this morning just like I said I would. It was a great morning here in Southern Florida. Temp was 67degrees with a bit of a breeze. This is supposed to be our last bit of a taste of cool weather before summer. I am enjoying every bit of it.!

Jim: Hope the boat is doing ok and hope your back putting in the miles and time! haha.

Stacie: I also will have mood swings while doing my walks sometimes. My mind will wonder and then I have to stop myself and get back into form, posture, arm swing etc. That is actually one of the reasons I like to walk, its time for me and time to work out somethings that might be floating around in my head! Thanks for the skirt info, not sure I am ready for the skirt thing. My legs and knees are not all that great looking and I would probably want the one with the compression shorts due to legs rubbing.

Roxy: Hey girl, don't get down. You'll get there soon enough. Keep it cool and when the time comes you'll be SOOOOO ready. Sorry about the 10K.

Panthergirl: Looks like you were busy...Hope you had a good time in Orlando!

akasleepingbeauty: I hope everything went ok at the Dentist ( I work for an Orthodontist ). I'm sure you can get back on track and us Warriors will stick together!!

Here are my totals for today:
Warmup and down: .26mile 15min 4sec
Walk: 3miles, 43min 20 sec

Have a good one.!!
