I tried a beginner bootcamp today, I felt good as I kept up. Thought I could take on the world after the class and could of hugged any one who walked in front of me. I'm hoping that's what a runner's high would feel like.

The computer ate my post as well :(
Anyway I lost weight and also several measurements showed a decrease, and my bf thought the skin on my back and belly felt looser. Not that I want to have loose skin but at least my plodding on pays off :D |
Urban –t hat extra mile “cause I felt pretty good” is a nice touch – and the weekly total is a nice thing – I’ve been tracking mine keeping my annual on a spreadsheet since January 1.
Good work Pam – I love 6 AM workouts – I feel so superior to the rest of society! Breethe – welcome –we don’t all get a personal best every day. Kimbur – keep it going! Crazigerl – yes, that’s what a runner’s high feels like, and they last – I get them for many activites, some people just for running. Lucious –results feel good! I saw a nice number on the scale today – I’m calling it 155, but could have been 154.9 – anyway – it is the first time it was deciding where to balance below the 155 line. I’m having a party when I move the big weight (the 150 – on the balance scale at the gym) – you are all invited, we’ll have water, and fresh fruit, and dance at our computers! It was a wonderful spin class today – “Race Day” – we don’t know what each other is doing on their bikes – but the plan was to try to give your all, all class – and I worked very had. This was followed by breakfast with an insurance broker, and I did my best to not blow it – yogurt (but it was strawberry, lots of sugar, fruit, and they brought a side of granola with it which I should have not eaten, but I did). Be strong! |

Be strong! I am definitely feeling yesterday's work out - everywhere. Shoulders, back, abs, legs - it really kicked my butt. This evening I have yoga, but the Friday class is usually pretty mellow and the teacher will allow us to do as much or as little as we wish. As I am in a taper for my race I will mostly work on lengthening the tight muscles. Great job everyone... have a wonderful, healthy Friday! |
as mentioned yesterday, friday is double cardio day for me. when i first started doing cardio in november, i went 60 mins ended with 3.44 miles... pretty much just walked lol. today i went well over 60, but at the 60 minute mark i was at 4.44. kind of special to see that much of a gain ^^

My strained back is finally feeling 100% (hurt it 2 weeks ago) and I went for a run today- absolutely beautiful Saturday morning.
I was going for a 5-6 mile run but once I got home and mapped it, It ended up being a 8.8 mile run(1:28 hrs) :D Felt awesome to get back into it. Next Sunday's 10k race shouldn't be a problem. |

Good luck next weekend. I am glad you are back to your runs. Today is indeed a glorious day. I'll do a shortish, easy run tomorrow. Next Sat is the Death Valley 1/2. I am really looking forward to it. Last time I ran it (3 years ago) I have horrendous leg cramps. I have learned how to deal with them better, so I am definitely looking for a PR, and possibly a podium position:rolleyes:. One of the benefits of being an older runner is that there are fewer of us. BUT the ones that have stuck with it are really good. |
Hitting the weights after browsing the forum. No clue why, but I prefer exercising in the evening.

I did swimming today for overall like 20mins- in which 13mins was killing interval swimming with fast as hell freestyle laps and medium kinda resting breaststroke laps :D
Im planning to get to about 20-30mins of interval eventually as my strength get better :) Thats all :) keep the good work :) |
Tried to run 5 kilometer / 3.1 miles in as close as possible to 30 minutes but had to walk the last bit and it took me 45 minutes in total....
Want to participate in a 5K race in April so I have quite some more training to do! |
