Tuesday Workouts.....

I did 3 miles jogging at work at lunchtime.  I haven't been very consistent this month after a very good July; so I expected to suffer.  I was excited and amazed that I did the first 1.5 without stopping.  A new distance record since my restart in May.  Then I had trouble getting a consisitent stretch on the 1.5 mile back in andf felt I had maybe startedout too fast and messed up.  I was pleased when I finished in 34 minutes for a 11:19 min a mile avg.  My previous fastest since May was 12:20 on a 5 mi jaunt.  So it was only 3 and the foirst half was alot stronger than the last half but I will take it as significant progress.  Now I have to get more consistent to keep it going the right direction.

Football officiating assignments were published last night and I have 11 assigned games, not counting any rec league assignments or on-call fill-ins for last minute vacancies.  One of the back judges wore his pedometer  during a game last season and told us he totaled 8 miles in his 2 hour game jogging about the field and starting and stopping between plays.  It doesn't look like much and some of the officials at the JV and Varsity levels don't look very athletic but if you hustle around from point to point like they train you too, its a pretty descent workout.

Its helping to keep me motivated to keep my endurance up and weight down, in my cute little stretchy white shorts or knickers.  I also met one trainee that runs and we might get together to do some local events as we both want to do a half and maybe a marathon in the near future.

rock on dude and dudettes~

Two miles on the treadmill this morning in 18:45.  Upper body work with weights following the run. 

1 Hour Advanced Cycle class this morning followed by a one hour weights class this evening...(that was really, really brutal---I will definitely be thinking about that tomorrow & the next day when I am so sore).....

I was in class tonight & had an epiphone.....I was watching other people max out on certain exercises & have to take a break & I was really pushing every exercise to it's limit.....then I realized it was five months ago that I had my RNY surgery & that five months & three days ago I weighed 293 pounds & this morning, with all my workout clothes (including running shoes) on I weighed 188 pounds.....105 pounds in 5 months & the ability to take two really tough classes in one day......crazy!

 

I went to my regular track workout. We did pacing with a partner and my partner had trouble keep up with ME!!! Whee.

My knee was fine afterwards too. I may get in my long run this week after all.
