Colleen Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I didn't have a chance to post for Monday, but I ran 6 miles including a couple of long hills. Planning to put in 7 miles later today, but again, I may not be able to check-in so I thought I'd just start the thread now.:) Edited February 17, 2009 by Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Way to go, Colleen! I worked out yesterday, but my knees were so sore I couldn't even do my cardio on the eliptical. I did 30 minutes on the recumbant bike, but never got my heart rate over 125. I also did some upper body weight training which felt great. I skipped my workout this morning and did 3 hours of intense housework from 5-8am. That has to count for something. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Jennifer in MI Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm focusing more on strength training the last two weeks. My runs are shorter. I did 1 hour of the strength training videos (ouch!) and I hope to run as soon as dh comes home - maybe 2 - 3 miles just to get in the added cardio. Great runs Colleen!! How's your back been? Ferdie - Heck yea! Housework counts!! On Saturday I counted putting up wainscotting in my boys' room as exercise because I kept getting into a squat position.

momofkhm Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My legs not working right. Last time I was having and egg every morning. I think due to that, I was getting more protein. Protein is what repairs the muscles. I know this stuff. I'm just not applying it! So I ate more at lunch than is usual. I'll buy eggs and start those with breakfast tomorrow. I know I won't get immediate results, but if I can run fine soonish, I'll be happy! I know my legs were achy last time, but I don't remember them not working well. What I mean is this: I know when I'm running, even when I'm running slowly, that if someone attacks me, I have a burst of speed. It's enough to get away from someone. It's also enough to get across a street if I suddenly see a car when I'm midway out. Right now it's not there. I run in safe places so it's not an issue but it is there in my head. Anyway, today was another short run. Then I even cut it short. But it still turned out to be almost 4 miles anyway! And the unexpected time on the mulch was great! My legs almost felt normal. Time Taken: 00:45:27 Total Distance: 3.92 mi. Burned: 406 (kcal) Pace: 11:34 (avg) Speed: 5.17 (mi/hr) (avg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I walked/ran for 40 minutes today. We had a long weekend away, and I'm still recovering from some sort of ankle problem, so I'm trying to take it easy. I hope to be running more later in the week, but I'll have to see how my ankle feels. I also did Pilates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I got in my dvd this morning. Kids are outside playing. I wonder if I can do more with the baby next to me. I find I need more than the length of one segment of the dvd. I guess this means my stamina is improving. Oh, and I'm getting closer to fitting in my pre-pg pants. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I can finally post today. I did 30min running/walk/sprint intervals on the hills. I plan to get done 20min pilates and stretching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 And did a 25 minute treadmill workout. Not much, but it's better than what I did most of the last 60 days! I'm meeting with a personal trainer on Thursady. I've already informed him that I am seriously lazy and that I have to get past that.

Deece in MN Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I had to work today so only got in a 30 min/2 mi. walk on the treadmill this morning. I work tonight at Kohl's, too, so I may do an easy day tomorrow. We will see how I feel. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
