Running again today, plus I discovered this awesome site, it has lots of different types of workout: (We are allowed to link here, aren't we?)
www.liveexercise.com
It's going over to pay to use from August 24th I think (still only $5.95 a month!), but I'm going to get free membership for a few months from the resistance bands I just bought. Waiting for them to arrive to try them out, but they look great - can't wait to get started!

Ate too much carbs yesterday, and felt down and sluggish today, but dragged myself to the gym anyway. Weight training. Warmup on stationary bicycle would be better if not for TVs - one tuned to propaganda disguised as news, the other to product sales disguised as gossip.

Lots of great activity going on. I had a cold last week, and took it pretty easy, hated myself yesterday, and deprived myself of exercise – really, when I woke up depressed and mad at the world I could have felt better by moving, but I didn’t (oppposite of BIDIA).
Made up for it today – did a 4.75 mile run in 45 minutes, that was some very fast, some very hilly, and some walks,

Travelled to daughters for my grandsons 1st birthday over the weekend. Too much eating out and birthday cake and ice cream but I was back at it on Monday night.
Chest, Tricep, Abs. Bench press using 50lb dumbells, reclined Flys using 35# Dumbells. 5 min warmup on elliptical before weights, then 40 minutes after at level 5. Also did 3 sets of 10 back extensions with a 25lb weight for the first time.

Way to go everyone! Good to see you are all overcoming the obstacles!
Missed the gym on Wednesday, had to put an alternator on the car.
Thursday was leg day, 3 sets of 6 reps.
(PB) Squats 110#
(PB) Straight Leg Deadlift 95# I can do more just afraid of injury. I'll work up slowly.
Leg extensions 110#
Seated Squats 150#
Abs Machine 120# (3 sets of 20 reps)
Elliptical - 5 min warmup before weights, 35 min HIIT after weights. (There wasn't alot of difference between the high and low, Legs were dead after the weights but I expected that.)
Hit a new low weight of 227 pounds!!!!!!!!

I had a great weekend with friends - who happen to be my CrossFit coaches - at the mountain house over the weekend. A wonderful 8 mile hike through the Ansel Adams Wilderness on Sat, and a 15 mile Mt bike ride on Sunday. Both of the friends were brand new to mt biking. Steph took several falls, but got back up and got going like a trooper - very impressive. It was great fun to introduce them to "my world" after all of their great coaching in "their world".

Keep up that running and you'll hit your goal in no time.
I will say as a runner, though, make sure get a couple rest days per week. It is while you are resting that your muscles repair themselve and get stronger.
