Gooood Morning everyone

 

There's a new month up ahead, so lets finish July strongly.

 

This morning was 45 minutes of UB (Ba/Bi), it's actually the w/o I should've done on Friday. And 21 minutes of LB, half of it floor exercises with ankle weights. Darn, those always work my legs incredibly well.

 

Everyone have a great week!

OK, I've been feeling tired and sleepy for days now. So I slept in this morning. Got myself nearly 10 hours of sleep. Guess I was really tired and sleepy

 

To make myself do it, I am stating it right here: I will run at least 30 minutes after work today!

I think Summer is doing a number on our group. Everyone out vacationing? And not running?

Opted for the TM and an old favourite today: iTread with Grace Lazenby. I did set 1 and most of set 2. Guess set 1 is easier than set 2. My calfs were really bothering me in the first half hour. Had to stop and stretch quite a few times. That's what I get for skipping two runs, sigh. It was a tough run. 98 minutes of hills and intervals (14 kilometers).

So I decided to try to input on my RA running log all the running that I've kept track of in a box of saved calendars. I stayed up til midnight the last two nights doing this and still have a lot to enter. I'm a complete wreck today from lack of sleep - and tonight's my night to run! Not sure if I'll postpone it for a day or not. But I think I'll try to get to bed earlier from now on!  It's been interesting to see that following a year when I had a long run of 11 miles, I ran just about every day for a year - but only 2 miles a day.  I can't remember what was going on then, but it's funny to see that, and to see the days I thought it important to log even if I only ran 1 mile. I guess I've always been compulsive about running in some way.

12000 total miles is impressive...

Way to go...

 Thanks Kelly and I still have about 8 years to input!  I started this little project out of curiosity to see what the total will be. Check back in a couple weeks or so for the final tally. Maybe I should put it in my signature line?

 

Right now I can't decide whether to take a nap or go for a run. I'm NOT staying up late tonight, I swear! (I don't know what that emoticon means, but it has X's on it's eyes - good enough for how I feel right now!)

Did a nice and slow 6-miler last night. Yoga tonight.

 

KELLY! You're just about at the goal! It's incredible!

 Ahhh, I like getting up at 8 instead of 5:30, is a beautiful 15ºC low humidity morning. Tea, honey,1/2 bagel and then an 8 mile run. Fireworks tonight for Natal Day (the birth of Halifax?, I need to work on my Canadian history)

 

Friday: 1 hour with the trainer (slept in and missed elliptical time) Lower body workout

Today: 90 min run (8 miles)

Sunday: rest/ elliptical

Monday: 1 hour run (5.5)

 

Dutchie: The 3% loss was over 6 weeks but included 10 days of zero exercise, fish n chips, and copious wine drinking on vacation, so I'd say about 4 weeks of effort. My goal is to get into the fitness range 20-25%, right now I'm just average.

 

Kelly: Is today the day?!
