Lol....
Kept the workout light yesterday, 15min stationary bike ride, 100 crunches @ 70#, 100 Incline Lumbar ext. with 25#(4 sets /25 reps) and some leg extensions @ 100# (2sets/12 reps) and 150# (2 sets/10 reps).
Going back after work today to get in some Squats and deadlifts and more crunches and lumbar extensions.
I also registered for a 1/2 Marathon this morning for Oct. 7th I'm shooting for a 2hr finish time.
Don't listen to them, your training will take over and you will succeed!

Ron and SW, thanks for keeping me laughing! I bet Jamie rowing can beat the motorbike, and the runner on the same course (as those don’t function well on water, except in one case Jamie can tell you about, and it was walking, not running).
Ron, posting yet another Personal Best!
Pam, so glad to have you back! I missed you.
Jamie those voices an easily be shut up with the “I am doing this”
SW – good luck with the half!
For me, it was a nice run, 5K in 26 minutes, which is my wheelhouse of time, I did keep elevation on, so I’m working a little harder. And, this was followed by boot camp, why did I ever say it wasn’t challenging enough (fortunately, none of my class mates know I’m the one who said that, or there would be locker room brawls).

Just beat those voices with a paddle! We want to hear about it next week.
Pam,
Welcome back.
Abby,
Good workout!
SW,
You reminded me that today is Leg day, My least favorite of my 3 splits (maybe because it is the hardest) but its getting better.

Gonna continue the torture by going for a short (3-4 mile) run after work and I plan on a 10 miler this Saturday in preparation for my 1/2 on the 6th.
Nice!

I agree about starting yoga after a workout when your muscle are nice and warmed up - it is a great combo.
Thanks for the welcome back
Jaime, try to replace those voices in your head with the voices outside, such as your coach encouraging you all to work hard, be efficient, and do your best. That is all you can ask of yourself. Oh and remember this is not life or death... this all in the name of fun.
Pretty easy (well, short) workout this morning.

Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement! I am feeling a bit better after we got an email from our coach saying he was pleased with how hard we worked yesterday. If it was easy, it wouldn't be called a "workout," right?
