Sunday Workouts
My wife and I got on the trail at 7:45am before it got too hot and humid. There is a heat advisory for our region of the state starting at 11:00am. We did 5 miles. We started training for our first half-marathon today. We must be able to do 15 minute miles for the first 7 miles. We've got a little work to do on that but I think we can make it by Nov. 7th. Nobody said it would be easy.

6 mile run this morning. Hardest 6 miles yet. I never hit my groove, wanted to quit after the first mile. My knees are sore now after running. I have never had sore knees before. I may hit the pool this afternoon for some laps.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
Ran 16 miles at average 10:29 pace with only two brief walk breaks. No rain this week, just humidity.

"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer."
I'm new here and will have lapband before the end of the year. I'm 56 and work out daily. It (my gym) is the only place I can go and find peace from a difficult time in my marriage. I generally like to get up early (4AM) and be at the gym when it opens at 5:30. I get ten miles on a stationary bike(24 minutes) and then cool down with some stretches and shoot the bull with some compadres over coffee at a bagel shop. Then I go home and walk the Labradors a few miles three days a week weather permitting. I'm addicted to the feeling of working out and can't wait to shed this weight and start looking better.
I did a 40 min run. I went out to do 30 min but I got lost in the new neighborhood so I ended up doing 40 - LOL!

Ran NYC Marathon 11/4/07 5:27:06
did my longest bike ride to date, just under 70 miles (69 and change), it took me 4 hours and 4 minutes to complete. the ride was great overall, with the exception that it was about 30 minutes too long. at 3:30 into the ride, my legs gave out, i couldn't get any power out of them and they BURNED. Bad. energy was ok, i probably needed more hydration (only had about 80 oz of poweraide zero on the ride in aggregate), but didn't feel i hit the energy wall per se, unless this was just a manifestation of the wall (which is entirely possible). no nutrition on the ride either, not sure if i should encorporate gels etc on long rides or not.
the 70 miles was all hills in n. ga, according to the mapping site veloroutes.org the total elevation was 5100 ft.
