Welcome Sneekspeete – it is frustrating to not see the scale move, but if you are behaving, you will be rewarded. I haven’t been behaving, and gained five pounds in this last week, I’m refusing to believe it is real, but using it as a motivator!
Sounds like an amazing run Pam – 10 miles, just keep going and enjoy the beauty.
Nice work Nanciq!
I did a lot of yardwork over the weekend, but it was mostly planting and weeding, not strenuous fight s with mighty bushes. Skipped spinning yesterday, but did get a nice 3.25 mile run this AM followed by bootcamp. Many miles to go.
Did a 6 mile "tempo run" this mornting. That's a run that pushes your speed limits, but not a sprint. Some call it a "comfortably hard" run. Anyway something clicked in this morning and the whole thing was at an 8:48 min pace!
Now, I never even dreamed of sustaining 6 miles at under 9 min/mile. My CrossFit coaches are claiming it's the CrossFit workouts and I have say I can't really argue with them!
