Week 8 day 1 C25K today then 30 minutes circuit training after. Only 2 more days left to complete C25K!!!!!!!

Did my yoga today, as well as Sat. & Sun. I've also been using my exercise ball with my resistance bands in the afternoon, it takes me about 30 mins.to get through the resistance exercises and with the yoga is about 45 mins. My stamina has improved greatly and boy they both make me work up a sweat.

Also, I'm headed out the door to go hike a five mile trail near my house. The weather is beautiful and I just want to be outside in it!

Great job everyone!

Todays 5 mile run felt really good! I think the break last week ( three days ) was what my body and mind needed. Ran strictly by HR today, targeting 85-87% of my max HR.

I think I will target a 9:09/mile for my Memorial day biathlon....followed by the bike ride.

I'd like to get another Half Marathon in UNDER 2:00 this year, so I need to get the 5 mile time around 8:55.

I made it to a boxing class yesterday morning. I've rounded up my group to go again Thursday. It's an awesome hour of therapy. Every punch releases a little bit of stress.

Ran again today on treadmill pushing myself harder than last time my heart rate monitor crapped out on me think I m doing something wrong. Order an underarmour wonderwoman shirt for my mud run end of June cause in wondering who this new woman is lol but I love it

Did my Yoga and attempted to match my movements with the more difficult poses. Also, did my resistance bands exercises. I am hurting today after my hike yesterday. Muscles are aching where I didn't even know I had muscles.

But, I'm feeling accomplished!!

26 mile bike ride this afternoon before work.

I get so excited when I am in the pool to exercise...in 45 minutes I did all of my leg/ab exercises and actually found out only 1/2 mile is done when I do 16 back and forths, so this week I have upped my ante...walked my first 1/2 miles and then my exercises and then I walk 1/2 mile again...did them all in 45 minutes...this is really great for me anyways. LOL!!! Going to start going on Saturday mornings too starting this week...Yeah Me!!! Sorry a bit on happy street this morning...finally I am down too although its unofficial 44 lbs!!! Hope you all have a great day.!!!!!

Did my yoga, I'm still pushing myself to do the moderate poses. Geez Louise yoga makes me sweat! My dogs were very rambunctious this morning so I took them on a walk. We were gone for about an hr. I guess I need to invest in a pedometer.

It's overcast and a little humid here in MO. Suddenly I hear Little Orphan Annie singing... The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. Oh! Geez...that's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. Sorry!!

Update: I've been wanting to start running, but I keep telling myself I can't because of my health issues. My Dr. told me to go slow and see how I feel. So, today I downloaded Couch-to-5k.

Wish me luck!

Good luck!! That's the first step!! Now just believe!!!
