4.5 hours at waterpark - climbed 397 stairs

I've not posted here in yonks, but have been diligently plugging away. I'm up to 6.0 kms as my base level run now, have been working towards doing the 7.5km fun run as part of the Melbourne Marathon in October. Currently nursing an injury, just woke up yesterday with an obvious tear of the Achilles Tendon, no particular reason, I didnt even run on Saturday! I ran last night and its still there today so a few days off are in order, sigh. I'm beginning to realise I'm not really meant to be a runner, but I'm so darn stubborn!

I can now run, outside, pushing Eliza in the jogger, and talk to her the entire time, so I've gotten LOADS fitter. I used to not even be able to walk and talk together!

eeergh. Nothing today! I think I might be having some flu like issues...I did clean a bunch of stuff today, butjust couldn't do it...Tomorrow is a new day!

31.2 mile bike hike this morning - completed

6.5 mile jog - pending

Body aches. I upped the weights yesterday an extra 10lbs and it surely made a difference. I had a hard time getting out of bed. I ached the whole 30+ miles. I couldn't believe how fresh and cool this morning has been. It was one of the best weathered rides ever.

Took the weekend off, hubby was actually off so we spent some time together... he ALWAYS work..........I promise TELLY I will be back at it tomorrow...LOL!

You've got a nice regimine there.

I ride my bike in my town. It's called Kissimmee, Florida. Disney town. From my house to the roadway is exactly 4.2 mile. Then I go out to the main road which is 11.4 miles one way. I go to the end of that road and turn back around. If I wanted to push longer then I take another route. But it is completely paved. I ride on the sidewalk as other bikers do. It's very wide so I pass walkers, jogger, bikers..strollers, snakes..etc. I think it's considered "on the sidewalk". I ride right alongside cars.

I started biking 2 weeks before surgery. I wanted to lose a few pounds before the surgery and I needed to do something low impact. I was told that my BMI was low enough that I didn't need a pre-op diet but I still wanted to. I lost 8lbs biking for the first 2 weeks. Gained 3 back while on vacation, 3 days before surgery.

I started at 6.5 miles which killed me. Then as I got used to it, (after the surgery) I worked my way up to 16.5 miles, to 31.2, 35 then 45 miles at most.

If you start off as I did, I'm pretty sure a 35 mile bike ride would be accomplished in 2 months. I lost most of my weight from biking, believe it or not.

Tricia_K, sometimes I'm not really sure what's driving me.
