2.79 miles tonight. Not happy with the time but my distance is increasing. I'll have to try running outside when I'm home. I don't want to subject my lungs to the horrid air quality here. I am just getting to a good spot so I don't want to relapse.

Boot camp followed by 4 mile run last night. It was so freakin hot and humid here! It is supposed to be near 90 all week!

[wvugurl26]

It is supposed to be 96 today and feel like 101. I will be running in the gym tonight.

I've somehow missed this thread until now!

Saturday: 1 hockey game
Sunday: 2 hockey games
Monday: 1hr beach volleyball
Tuesday: I was tired, didn't do anything.

today: not sure yet. I'm going to be spending most of the day sweating my ass off in a mechanical room, working on a steam system during the first day of an expected heat wave. we'll see how I feel at the end of the day.

[wvugurl26]

Let me say I will try to run tonight. My breathing got messed up yesterday and I just got allergy shots which won't help. Peak flow was off 40 pre shots. I'll see at 4:30. I want all this crap to go away!!!

Did a 6 mile run this morning. Temperature was great - about 68 - but I did not check the humidity before I left. 92%.

Needless to say, not my best effort! But I did all the miles and I finished upright, so that's all that matters.

If you haven't run in a week or two, I would definitely start out with some low mileage - either the 4 or even less, like 2-3 just to make sure you don't experience any side effects and to make sure you don't overexert yourself on your first time out in a while! Starting back up after a period of rest really stinks!

Yesterday I did 3 miles on the treadmill - planning on running 6 over lunch today and then strength training this evening.

I actually did some jump roping yesterday. Probably looked ridiculous jump roping along down the street outside but it was a good sweaty workout!

[wvugurl26]

2.77 miles last night on the treadmill. I'll see what I can do tonight. My lungs were very unhappy last night.

[Deleted]

I was away last week so no regular exercise program. However, I did a lot of walking, swimming and kayaking. Oh, and I ate whatever the heck I wanted too.

[steph08]

Got in 8 miles this morning for my last June run. Super humid again, but it was nice and cloudy and there was a breeze.

Long distance running seems to be very popular nowadays. I am simply not a runner. I will do some running as part of my exercise but have no wish to run races, cross country or marathons. But, i certainly admire those who do. BTW, how long does it take to run 8 miles? And for those who do run events, how many hours do you have to run a day to keep in shape and how do you find that time?

I walk walk walk and then I walked s'more.

I think it is a fairly popular means of exercise, but I can count the number of people I know in real life who run a lot, so I don't think races and serious running is that big.

I have run two races - a 5k and a 10k - and will be doing another 5k, a 7k, and a 15k this summer. My goal is to work up to the Disney marathon in January. I don't know if I will get there, but I am sure as hell going to try.

On a good day (not humid like today), it takes me 80 minutes to run 8 miles - 10 minutes/mile, which is my fairly consistent pace. Today it took me closer to 90 minutes since I stopped to walk a few times. If I lived in a flat area, not PA, it would probably take me less time. But if I do 10 minutes/mile, I feel I am doing good. I do run races slightly faster though. My 5k was about 8m40sec/mile and 10k was 9m/45sec/mile.

And for those who do run events, how many hours do you have to run a day to keep in shape and how do you find that time?

I run 4-5 times/week and am averaging 20-25 miles/week. That is a good weekly mileage to run shorter events. For example, this week I ran 3 miles, 6 miles, 5 miles, 8 miles. So for 23 miles, if I run 6 miles/hour, it takes me almost 4 hours/week to do it. That really isn't that bad when you think about it. If you're doing an hour of cardio every other day, you could be running almost the same amount. But during my marathon training, I am going to be running upwards of 30-40 miles/week something like 3 miles, 7 miles, 3 miles, 20 miles.

well did 3 miles sunday...was slow since it was so hot and humid...did 7.4 today. <- that hurt....

have a 4mile race wed and then my 10 mile qualification run on friday.

[aliciar6]

want to die...official time for the Army 10 Mile qualification was 1:33:55...i was the only girl, didn't finish last, just second to last...but they guys were all impressed so that boosted my ego.

was hard to hold back on wednesday and not run hard so i wouldn't burn myself out for today.

now i just want to go home and go to bed.

Still working out, but not doing much with the dog because it has been much too hot. I haven't done anything extra to make up for it though.

Vacation is over. Back to the gym. I walked about 1.5 miles last night. Today i went to the gym and did the treadmill and some light weights.

[Jaguar]

I'm not exercising much cause of the heat and humidity. But I'm still eating right and I've gone done 1 more size.

[Deleted]

I walked twice yesterday. Went to the gym and did the treadmill and elliptical with handweights. I love walking the treadmill and using 3 to 5 lb weights and doing arm exercises while i walk. I get a much , much better work out. And, if i am going to walk for 45 min i figure i might as well be using my arms to so i do all kinds of arm exercises with and without the weights. The real challenge for me is to do that stuff without falling off the treadmill. ;D

[Deleted]

25 min of treadmill and some weight lifting today. Last night i jogged the track at the school.

[Deleted]

I have never really lifted weights before. My arms are burning!

[Reckless Roselia]

I've made an exercise schedule that I shall follow with strictness. An hour's cycling and 30 mins of rowing. All the workout in my gym. I'll lose around 300+ calories.

Spin class last night and a little over 4.5 mile run this morning... my legs are TIRED.

<<clean up those thoughts Zaire!! keep it clean buddy>>

LOL - OK OK (still giggling a little)

[ZaireinHD]

Good mood and ready to keep up with exercising

This morning hit the snooze and then turned off the alarm and stayed in bed
woke up in a panic and jumped on the exercise bike, for a half hour.
the bad part is I didn't ...or was under the normal bar that I've raised during recent weeks.

LOL - guess my start time to exercise is soo early now - I still made it into work on -time

[ZaireinHD]

DANG-IT!!!
DANG-IT!!

tonight just few by! didn't leave work until 6PM
got home by 7PM to have 2 not so great Tuna sandwiches for dinner
put in face and talk time with GF, watched her DVR
by 10PM cleaned up kitchen - then finally got to start my things to do

only was able to do one set on the curl bar - before I'm off to bed

well at least it was something - right?

[ZaireinHD]

Good start this morning - motivation level = HIGH[/b][/color]

GF is stick and on her period this week so I'm clear to exercise on time at 4:45AM wake up.
exercise bike for 34 minutes, using the stretch thingies, felt good to have strength and motivation this morning
PLEASE BRAIN NO TIRED BLOCKERS THIS WEEK - LOL

;D

[ZaireinHD]

last night - oh well went to sleep early.
which caused me to wake up early this morning of course
and I had or have no motivation, tired, and a bit sleepy

However I did manage to push the weights around and some aerobics
no sweating but just enough to I guess cover the bear minimum.

[ZaireinHD]

Sleepy start this morning - motivation level = MEDIUM[/b][/color]

I did get feet on the floor this morning at 4:45AM. the problem was I felt tired. But I did push through the tired feeling and exercised through to put up good record / numbers on the exercise bike. Plus used the stretch bands.
