Monday Workouts!!!

I just went out for 5 miles and turned around at the half mile mark so I ran 1/2 of a mile and walked home.  It was still a nice morning but I had to use the bathroom.  My stomach is a little messed up today.  I may try some mile repeats with the one year old in the jogging stroller later if the stomach settles down.

What are you up to today???

I ran 5 miles this morning although it was struggle getting out of bed. Rode my bike to work, so I guess I have to ride home this evening. Whoopee!

I'm back at it this week FINALLY!

Starting out easy!

5 min of stretching
5k on the dreadmill in 29min
50 minutes Weights (lower body)
10 minutes Stretching.

  I am new to all of this, and just started my C25K training this past Saturday,  I didn't quite make it the entire 20 minutes, but this afternoon after work is my second day of it, so we will see how it goes.  The plan is a 5 min. brisk warm up walk, with 20 minutes of running for 60 second intervals, and walking for 90 second intervals.

Cheryl - Yay YOU!!  The hardest part of starting a consistent exercise program is lacing up the shoes and walking out the door.  I just started W6 of the C25k program and am really enjoying the changes in my body, especially knowing my heart and lungs are stronger and more efficient.   If, on W1D3 you still are not able to get your intervals done, stay there until you do.  That's the beauty of the program is you progress at your pace.  At the start of each week, it was OMG, OMG, OMG this is so hard and by the 3rd day, I was like "piece of cake, bring it on."  Saturday, I ran for 20 straight minutes when 5 weeks ago, running eight 1 minute intervals seemed to be a lifetime that only lasted 60 seconds.

Post daily in the workout thread.  The support and motivation I have received from those who have traveled the journey ahead of me has made a huge difference in my success at continuing a consistent exercise program.

That gives me hope. I am still sucking wind at running but I've got to get it down.

If you have access to a treadmill try progressivley increase your speed .1mph at a specific interval.  either minute or distance.

Keep up the great work and you will get there.

Good for you , that is awesome !

This morning I completed W6D1 of C25k during a 4 mile walk.

After work, planning on taking a 60 min zumba class if my legs feel up to it.  I pushed some higher weights yesterday and my muscles are telling me about it today.

no workout today.... went right to work after we landed, hopefully i'll get a good night sleep and get a jog in in the morning.
