chizel runs

I guess I am a good weather only runner :)

oh Burt, you are so funny!

Hey Merri, Lily, Lynsey when are you guys going to take a girls trip and come visit me?  There is a race in Miami Jan 24, maybe we could plan a big trip next year, huh? Anyway if any of you want to get out of the cold, come on down!!  It is 81 today!

Did the "glute buster" on the treadmill, do you think that the calorie count is right on this? 712? 

abs, back and shoulders

note to self-do not do "glute buster" two days in a row. My calfs and glutes were burning like crazy today.  I did a harder level and ran most of the time today but my calorie count was only 323 how does that work? 

I think I need more cardio. It is sad to say but I have definatly had to work up to my miles and I am barely going three miles.  Last week I did 2 miles everyday then did weights....anyone have good insight on weights? I tried to rotate muscle groups everyday and did lower weight and high reps but this morning I think my arms looked bulkier so I only did running.  My stomach fat will NOT go away so I am trying to add more distance to my running......off to pack for Disneyworld see you in a few days :)

Can I call this a lame recovery workout??  One mile on treadmill then three miles on the bike.  My knee was totally acting up, still a little aggrivated from carring kiddos around at disneyworld :)

Two of the treadmills where down today which means the others filled up fast. So I did a new machine, I don't even know what it is called.  Basically it is like doing high knees the whole time.  My thighs are like jelly even now, 5 hours later.  Then ran two miles with Heidi

ran around verona walk today, Watch out Alligators!!

No alligators today :)

Ran three miles, then did the leg press, biceps, deltoids. Hey does anybody have tips on how many reps and sets and how much weight to use?? What do you all do? 

I ran by a family of squirls today, then didn't run away when I came by they just stood there, I was nervous that they were going to get me......then I thought as long as they don't jump on me I think I would survive :)

I totally think that walking around the mall should count as something ;)

short on time today, shouldn't have slept in.  You always feel better once you wake up anyway.

three miles, worked deltoids, triceps, 53 lunges

I am back....we had some vistors so I rarely got on the computer but back in full force now!!

I have a hard time running very long on the treadmill, anyone else?  Dan gave me pepperspray for valentines so maybe tomorrow I will run outside. Although I am not scared of the old men down here I am mostly afraid of the animals since we live on a preserve!!

So I have finally started running again. I been exercising just not running so I haven't posted about it. But at least I did almost a mile and a half right? I really have no excuse why I haven't been running just a crazy sinus infection that has lasted way too long but oh well. I have been doing the cross county skiing machine. and 100 lunges a day plus arm weights and leg weights too.

Archtrainer for 20 min. but only .88 miles. Does your archtrainer count your distanst low? I was workin' it!

Leg press 4 X 10 130 lb, 2 X 20 130 lb

Chest press 3 X 10 30 lbs I struggled to get the last two up

Tricep press 3 X 10 30 lbs

100 lunges

Wahoo!! It felt SO GOOD to run again! Thanks Lily, you are the best!

It was a good run even though I got kicked off the golf course, ran through some yards, got locked in a gated community and snuck through a hedge to get back on track....hmm all in the adventure right? oh did I mention it was 102 degrees outside!!

P.S. Eggs and milk are NOT a good pre-run breakfast!

Ran 2 miles then hit the gym...aw A/C :)

Only had time for 2 miles today.

96 degrees

I think that working out in a temperature controlled environment will be best the next couple of weeks :) Don't worry though I hit the gym almost everyday :)

three miles with good ol' ma. she's a trooper

go mom! She kept an 11:00 minute pace almost the whole time...I think thats impressive!

Well this month went way too fast, it was fun going with my mom. Good times!  I hope I will be able to stand the Florida heat now I've been spoiled with suc great weather :)

ran a bit before hitting the gym, have to work back into the heat and humidity. Is it possible to be attacked by a dragon fly??

Nice cardio on the archtrainer

leg press

tricep press

100 lunges

crunches

ran outside

eliptical

chest press

row/deltoids

Great run today, except for the lizard ran right under my foot, poor guy.....squish!

And yes, Lily it is way hot to run outside....but I think I am getting used to it now. I notice I can't run as fast when it is way hot but it still beats the TM. And the gym is so desserted, I am all by myself in the mornings....wish someone would come visit me....

ran outside....How can I get faster? I think my fastest is 8:11 and I am DYING!! I can only go one mile that fast then I need to drop down to 9:00-9:30 I can do that in a breeze forever but if I try to go faster I feel like I can't breathe like my throat is closing in on my or something.  oh I tripped over myself to avoid another lizard this morning, what is the deal? I have never had them run under my feet before, usually they are way fast and move!

100 lunges

crunches

row/rear deltoid

chest press

leg press

Sooo, I know it has been a WHILE since I posted my mileage on here but I am starting today and backtracking my miles. I know I will probably miss a few but it will give me a good idea for the year.

I am not sure how far I ran today because my garmin died after a mile, but I am sure it was at least two miles if not almost three but I don't want to count too many miles.  I 'm not going to lie, the cooler weather this morning was crazy on my throat and lungs also the low humidy. Its crazy how you can adjust to being so hot most of the time.

Temp 62 :)

humidy 72 

I only had time for one and a half today, but it felt so good! For the first time (well other than the time I ran with Merri and I was dying) I was able to run fast and not feel like I was going to puke :) I was proud because I am really comfortable at a 10:00 min pace but today I ran an 8:20 mile which was way good for me! And I felt great!

Ha, ha, burt..you have NO idea!   BTW are you from SF? or just stalk the girls from SF?  I know you don't live there now but just wondering.

oh yeah! It must be that the heat has calmed down a bit but I feel like I can run faster and not pass out :) I know my distance is SHORT but my speed has improved a lot :)  Plus I got a new running partner....Dan decided I am cooler than his guy friends and wants to workout with me..

lunges-I could only do 50 today, I took too long of a break :(

abs

I am so happy I shaved a 30 secs off my "really comfortable" speed!  Thanks everyone for telling me how to do speed work. I know it sounds self explainitory but I didn't know what it was :)

brrr....brr.....bbrr.....brrrrrr......frozen  humity freezes!!

3 miles

gym

brrr...hit the gym :)

So my husband informed me that I am running wrong. I basically land flat on my foot, and my heel touches everytime my foot hits the ground. So he told me I am supposed to practice running on my toes so more of the ball of my foot touches the ground and not my heel. HOW in the world do I make THAT feel natural??  

ran

101 lunges

150 sit ups/ crunches....which is way good for me :)

oh and my garmin is off by a day, how do I fix that?

working out the stiffness...I can't believe how stiff I am from running more on my toes!

eliptical 15

archtrainer 15

situps

How many miles do you think you actually walk in Disney??
