Thursday exercise thread!

I'm just hitting my desk after an hour on the elliptical. It's not been the best gym week for me, but I'm back into it this morning. Feeling great from my workout.

Hoping for a happy, healthy day for one and all.

Hey Norm!

This hasn't been the best exercise week for me either, although I did get a walk in on most days.  I did my hour on the treadmill this morning, followed by a few minutes on the bike, and crunches.  Time for a shower, then off to Barix for my 9 month followup.

Morning Norm & workout buddies !

Today I'll hit the gym for a 10 min. elliptical warm up, 30 minutes of resistance training and 20 intense minutes of ellipical.

I'm finding lately that the treadmill is not my friend. My hips and knees seem to ache/hurt when I try to walk fast or jog. The elliptical seems to be less stressful to my joints, so I guess I'll stick with that.

Have a groovy day folks !

Good Morning Norm & PA!
I did my hour on the Elliptical and will be walking on my lunch and breaks. Hope you have a good day!

Hi All,

I think I got my MO JO back, thank god! I went on a 20 mile bike ride last night and I ran today 2.25 miles and it felt great. Finally I didn't feel like I was slogging around.

Saturday I am running my first 5K...the Amiee Willard Sunflower Run. Wish me luck. I heard the course is hilly and it's not the best one for a first timer. I'm cutting my self some slack and trying not to beat myself up in the event I have to walk a little.

Sunday I'm riding 25 miles in the Girls with Gears event which supports womens heart disease education.  What was I thinking with two back to back events?

Keep on sweatin'

Good luck Teresa and I'm really glad to hear that you got your mojo back !!

Way to go T.. glad you're getting your MOJO back. 

Good luck in both races this weekend.  You will be great!!

So glad to hear you're back in your groove!!!   Awesome!!!  

Last night I had physical therapy and an hour karate class.  I tapped into my "aggression" and beat the crap out of a heavy bag.  Today, my right hand is bruised, sore and stiff even though I was wearing boxing gloves.  Tonight I will do more of the same.  I take great pleasure in hitting things

My physical therapist let me run for 10 minutes tonight before she tortured me.  It felt like my right shin was going to spontaneously combust... but I could do it. : )
