TUESDAILIES run on caffeine (Read 57 times)

    Around here the women 40-49 AG is one of the most competitive ones! My only hope is that some of those women move up to 50-59 before I turn 40!

      I can't believe how all you youngsters are talking!  I can't even remember my 30s, it's been so long. Smile

       

      I'm fast approaching the age group where a fart is not to be trusted.

        Good evening, everyone! I hope that you've been behaving today.

         

        It's been hectic since I awoke. I just left the gym, where I did weights, forty-five minutes on one of the elliptical machines (I did the hill program), and push-ups. Now, I need to do my ab work, eat dinner, and take a shower.

          Hey all.

           

          3.2 miles @ 9:04 on the 'mill.  Felt great.  5 days till HM blast off.  I'm already so anxious.

          Shake off the dust....Arise.

            Finished my last swimming class of six tonight and felt amazing. Luckily, I've signed up for more, to get even better. I can't believe how uncomfortable I was the first time in the pool compared to how I felt today. The best part, is that my body is already conditioned cardio wise, its just putting everything together. Swimming is a really coordinated sport. Who needs weights when you can workout in the water. I had a crazy arm workout just by treading water in the deep end tonight. Smile

            Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.

                        Scott, I hope that your post-work three mile worked the stress of the day from your body.

                        Robert, I hope that you managed to run your five without rain.

                        SIAR, excellent threshold run.

                        Ab work didn't happen. Unexpectedly, I went out with a friend. I'll double the ab work tomorrow. While out, I indulged myself with another shoe: the Saucony ProGrid Ride 5. I'll try that and the Altra Intuition 1.5 for the rest of the runs I have planned before the marathon and decide which one I'll take with me to Israel.
