Cut yourself some slack. You were at the Water park the other day and tomorrow...I am sure that you were doing a lot of walking and were quite active. You don't suck; you are just busy...next week is always coming around the corner.

As for me, I did:

Monday: 1 hour Water aerobics

Tuesday: 1 hour water aerobics

Wednesday: Off was having stomach pain

Thursday: 1 hour Burn Baby Burn water aerobics

Friday: Off (have to work, dang it!)

Keep up the great work everybody.

whosya-good luck tomorrow.

This morning I only did 55 minutes on the elliptical as I am doing Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society tonight. I'm going to try to be on the track from 7 pm until about midnight. I'm shooting for around 10 miles in that time period. I know, only two miles per hr, but I want to make sure I make it the entire 5 hrs. Plus, I have to work tomorrow.:confused:

[luluc 6]

ceradad - just noticed your about at goal!!!! congrats.

[whosyadaddy 0]

Lake Geneva is just Beatuiful! Thats a great place to be this time of year. Thats about a 2-3 hour drive for me. Good job on the 2 miler today!!!

Cera--THanks---lol ONLY 55 mins...that made me laugh...look how far we have come.

[Frangipani 1]

Lulu, have a great trip!!!!

Daddy, good luck today!!!

Well, this exercise is going in fits and starts for me this month as I continue the recovery process, so I'm revising my goal. However, I think I'm onto something more steady now. I got two more workouts in, 30 minute walks on Thursday and Friday.

Have a great weekend everyone!

3/12 Sessions

luluc-thanks. Yup, closing in on the goal. Hoping to make it by my bandiversary on Aug. 28. Considering I was told that this would be a "slow" process, I'll be happy just to be where I am right now.

daddy-yeah, it is amazing how far we have come in such a short time. Now, inquiring minds want to know. How'd it go today?

As for my adventure last night with the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, due to weather we got moved inside the Jr. high. That SUCKED!!!!!!! Not only did I have no way of knowing how far I actually walked, I couldn't walk as much as I wanted to. Considering there were 48 teams of at least 8 people each, it was just too crowded most of the night.

I roughly figure I probably got in about 8 or 9 miles from about 8 pm until midnight. Most of it btwn 10:30 and midnight. Oh well, the most important part was that we raised on $150,000 btwn all teams for cancer research.

Best part was DD, who is only 6, danced for 1 1/2 hrs straight while DW and I walked btwn 10:30 and midnight last night in the gym. While she started off dancing with herself and trying to imitate what the older girls were doing. By the end of the time, the older girls were dancing with her and trying to imitate what she was doing. Most of what she was doing was contorting herself into weird angles and basically almost breakdancing.:thumbup:

Whosya and Cera, you guys just amaze and motivate me!

Frangi, glad you're back. Keep it slow and easy for now.

Lulu, I'm jealous. Take me with you. I need out of this heat too.

I got in another 45 minute walk today.

Sorry bout the Cancer Walk Cera!

Ok here is today report.

I did a Full Duathlon today and about died lol!

The 5k run the first 1/2 mile was all uphill..then i finished the 5k in 31mins (ok for the amount of hills for me)

Then i cycled 30K (18miles) and it was SOOO hilly. I have never done that many hills. Of course i bought a new saddle and tried her out today which wasnt the smartest thing to do. I know i would of been sooo much easyier on a Road bike instead fo my mountain bike.

I got up to 36mph coming down one of the Hills:eek:

Then another 5k..boy my legs had trouble going up that hill again after coming off the bike.

I made it though. 2hr 39mins. The winner was 1hr 40min:eek: but he is a pro Triathlete (and my coach too :biggrin:)

Hard to believe i could keep my heart rate up for over 2.5hrs.

After the race i started feeling a lil dizzy and seeing some spots in my eyes :mad:. So i got some Water Melon and banana and i was ok.

Let me see if i can post a pic of the hill that kicked my butt and my new saddle.

[Ceradad 10]

Great job daddy! Keep up the great work. Hills are definately killers aren't they?

TexasBecky, thanks for the kind words. I do what I can and then push myself just a little harder.:party:

As for me, I did 65 minutes on the elliptical last night after work. Then, 30 minute run on the treadmill this morning for 3.15 miles. Followed by 35 minutes on the elliptical.

Tomorrow is the start to my next 6 wk lifting cycle. Body is definately getting antsy.
