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!

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.

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.

IKR.  Full of potential energy.

Hi dailies:

10.4 done, 7:12 pace.

No one here is old, some are just younger than others.

DaveP MI, wonderful that you had eight miles, instead of six, at lunchtime.

Rick, great job with the speedwork.

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

flarunner, great six.

Damaris, I hope that you feel better today and that weights and abs went well.

Shirfan, terrific 10.4 at an amazing pace.

Dave, bravo finishing the 4.5.

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.

I got 3.87 miles in, my stupid app screwed up right at the end and reset itself  so I figured up 4 miles 

Eh, it does but oh well.
