Did You Exercise Today???
#1801
I realized this morning that I really need to get back to my running routine. I love the Xfit and yoga, but pounding out those miles for an hour or so provides a calming high that the shorter more intense exercise just doesn't equal. I had slowed my running in order to replace it with more mountain biking, but the biking takes a little more prep, so I haven't riden as much as I had hoped. Also our weather has been just too hot even a 6AM to enjoy a run. But the heat has broken and running shoes are whining out of loneliness

No workout for me (or my son) last night. Had to work on my car that threw a belt. I will not miss again tonight!!!
Way to go everyone else.
Pam,
Good to hear the weather is breaking and you will be able to run again.

I also swam/played for an hour tonight at the beach. Water is great this time of year! Big fish and ghost crabs not so much.

Whenever I do get to run outdoors it is a cause for celebration, but I mostly and a treadmill user, just my habit. Last night turned into a late night, so I set the alarm for six instead of five, which means no Y - I got a lovely walk in but nothing to ambitious.

Woke up this morning at 1:30 and lay there worrying for an hour, so didn't get up for rowing. I need to find another way to get exercise today - hopefully after I get some work organized so it doesn't feel out of control.

I agree about the running. Unfortunately most of my running is during the hottest part of the day! I ran for an hour today and the humidity in Va Beach is still pretty bad this time of the year. I was spoiled in Vegas! It may have been hot but it was dry and so much easier to handle!

We did 100, 200 & 400M (3 reps) sprint intervals today. I do love speed work (although I really wasn't feeling it this morning) but I am looking forward to a nice 6 miler this weekend.
Have an active weekend everyone. Just get out and play!

I didn't do much today, walked around at a Gun Show this morning for a few hours lugging around some ammo. My Bro and I then rode our bikes up to the local pub (2 mile round trip) after spending a few hours shooting.
Going to bed soon- my 1/2 starts @ 7:35 tomorrow morning

SW,
How was the 1/2 marathon? Gun shows are usually fun. (I will be working our family booth at the Denver show next weekend.) What kind of guns were you shooting? We did a shoot a couple of weeks ago with some friends and customers. Had AR-15s, AK-47, Shotguns, 22s, pistols & revolvers. We set up a little 3 gun course where you started with a pistol, changed to AR or AK for a couple of long targets then finished with a shotgun.

I was a fun run, there was about 3500 1/2 runners and the temps were in the mid 50's and I ran it in 2:02.
As for the guns, I brought my XD9 and AR and my brother had his Sig .40 and a Ruger .22. Blasted through a couple hundred rounds per gun, it was fun having a few guns to choose from. It was a challenge to go from shooting the .40 and then the .22 and then the AR and back to the 9, it was fun exercise.
