Don't mean to stomp on anyone's effort, but didn't see a Saturday's Workout thread, so I decided to start one -- that is since I had something to enter!

The month of July for me is focused on obtaining my post-op -100 milestone, which would also bring me to a total lost of 140 lbs. :)

Donna - I hope you achieve that goal!  However, I think your fitness achievements are more extraordinary that the number on the scale.   I ran 9.66 miles and walked about an additional mile. It was tough, but I was so happy to get the miels in. We are having some awful weather for running, it has been a long humid streak here.   Mary

I put in an 8 mile run at a 10:04 pace, but my legs felt like lead today.  I really had to focus to keep them moving forward.  I'll do my long bike ride Sunday and then take it a little easy for the rest of the week.   Next Sunday is my Boilermaker 15K, the race that lured me into becoming a runner.  I'd like to finish in under 90 minutes; so, I need to have fresh legs.

"I ran 9.66 miles"

Good grief... one day I hope to be able to say that.  I just keep thinking that running will become "fun" at some point.  I just keep trying. LOL

 Great job!

Nice job, Donna! Today was a non-run day, and since I was out of town, I took it as a full day off since tomorrow is a long run day. Linn

Two mile bike ride then my tummy went insane and I had to stop.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a day of rest but I'm gonna finish the ride I was supposed to take today. ETA- Thanks for posting this thread Donna :-)

I waited too late to run/walk  this morning (around 8:30am). It was just too darn hot.   Would you believe I had the energy to get up and run after a night of partying?  I had to!  I brought my running gear with me to my cousin's house.  There was no way I was going to carry my shoes and clothes and not use them.  I had a 23 min, 11 sec run with a 5 min warmup and a 8 min cooldown.  Pace was 13mins and 44 secs.  for 1.72 miles.  I am so glad that my pace is improving.  I did a 1 min run and 2 mins walk recovery.

Without struggle, there is no progress.
