Note to self, when your groin and hamstring muscles are still tight from doing legs, do not try to go heavy on dead lifts. Tends to strain those muscles.:w00t:.

not smart...:w00t:

ok so my gym schedule of classes has changed w/teachers going back to school - so i'm all messed up & have to change up my routine some,

wed - 1hr treadmill

thurs - yoga

today - spin class this afternoon , i'm a morning person for working out so i'll be interested in seeing how i manage this:)

Alright I have got to get back in this - I am now so not ready for the marathon - slowly transitioning back this week and then will hit it hard:

Last night:

3.5 miles during lunch hour

PS - IT'S NOT YOU 3 - I'll make it 4 again - I made myself read all your entries to lay more guilt on

Last day of August. WTF!!!! Where did the summer go? Oh well, at least it's almost time to watch my 'Boys stomp through the NFC East.:biggrin:

Ran 6 miles this morning. Started out looking to do only about 4, but just kept going when I hit the 2 mile mark going out. Figured I'd see if I could do the 6 mile route after only being back at running for a couple weeks. Tired, but felt good at the end. We'll see how it goes the rest of the day.

Tonight will be chest again.

yawn to the first part....:blushing:

awesome on the 6 miles!!!!!

it's official - i can only wkout in the AM, afternoon was very lame & i have food issues. i like to eat my Breakfast right before i drive to the gym (15min away) - that way it's not sitting right on top of me, but i have fuel....odd i know!:biggrin:

sat - spin class

sun - 20min row - 30min treadmill

*shoulder are tight this am from the rowing, but i really liked that workout & will add it to my wkly routine*

I'm just the opposite on the food issue. Once I eat, I cannot do cardio. I have to do cardio before any food is consumed or I just don't feel like I can breath.

i'm not running, so maybe that's the difference?

typically i have greek yogurt w/fruit.

btw - doing nothing today:)

So fri and sat nights had to take shorter lunches - so only went about 2.5-3.0 miles but last night was closer to 3.5.

Even if it is on the elliptical, I don't feel "right".

Btw-Slacker.:biggrin:

Morning, all!:biggrin:

Extended my run distance on Sunday morning at hubby's insistence (sometimes ya just need a push)...did 1.29 miles (according to Prevention.com map), ran the whole thing...felt good.

Hubby decided that if we make it through a run (extended distance) with no problems (shin splints, having to stop, etc) then we extend a little at a time until we hit a new limit. Add on a block or so each run day until we hit one we need more time on...not 100% sure I'm ready for that, but what the hey - at least my distance will keep going up! :biggrin:

Sometimes I think my head gets in the way - I could do more, but I don't THINK I can, and sometimes I don't try. Having a running partner pushes me to realize I really AM stronger than I think I am.

We'll see how it goes...looking forward to tomorrow's run. Walked this morning - no problems.:blushing:

Will walk at lunchtime and again to the train station tonight...onward and outward!
