I ran around 45 miles last week. The night time run was fun (8-midnight for some of the guys, although I stopped around 9:30 or so.) I ran home from work yesterday in the heat, and it was humorous to watch the bikers get more and more miserable as the morning wore on (although I was getting miserable too.) I think it was a combination of not only the heat but also the fact that the more serious/less casual riders knew better than to wait to begin their workouts or bike rides.
This week I’d like to maintain or increase my mileage a little, with a 5k road race and a 6 mile trail race on the weekend that will be a bit more difficult since they will be relatively low mileage days.
YEAH I WON.. I WON.. *doing the happy dance*. I teach Jazzercise classes. Unfortunately due to injury I didn’t teach my 3 classes nor get in my 3 runs..
I have a torn meniscus so I’m sidelined for 3 weeks.. my activity involves pool workouts with my physical therapist..
So my goal for this week is to complete all 3 pool workouts and 2 additional strength training circuits. Pool workouts = 45 min and Strength Training = 30 min.
I’m not sure how I always forget to post when I’ve achieved my goals! I’ll make reporting my success a goal for this week, as well as bettering my 58:45 10K time for the race on Saturday. Since the 58:45 time is from my race this PAST Saturday, I dont’ know how much better it will be, BUT the first race was hilly and this next one is flat, and I’m finding that I’m getting stronger by the week . . . so with a bit of gusto, I’m going for it!
Oh, and I DID run 3 times last week AND had a day with no sweets – Hooray!
I am about 50-50 on the getting to bed at a decent hour! How many hours of sleep do all of you need to feel rested?! Also, other than swimming, do you know of any good workouts for people like me with arthritic knees? Thanks very much, Cindi
I did the yoga and one short pilates workout, and I find that I really like them. I feel longer and more relaxed.
This week my goal is back to the 5 days/30 minutes of exercise. I’m visiting family in Texas, so working out is much more of a challenge. Making it a goal will give me that added motivation to find the time to exercise!
I did hit goal!
But this week…not so much. But it’s only Thursday, right?
I’ll go with the same goal and hope that maybe putting it out there will motivate me to get moving the next three days!
Hi Cindy!
Checking in a little late but I’m here! Ack, I didn’t reach my full goal last week but did do cardio and strength training, just not all of it.
Ok, so I’ve still got the same goal, not to be boring but I know it works when I do it. So, 5 cardio, 30 minutes each, 2 strength training sessions. So far I’m right on track for this week and I’ll report back on my accompisments.
Happy Tuesday! As far as my sleep ritual is concerned, I did half and half! I think my hormones are messing with me! Is their a safe homeopathic remedy?! This week I plan on setting a time limit which I can’t go over for when I actually go to bed! Many thanks, Cindi
