Last few days:

1 1/2 mile walk, 100 crunches, and stretching.

[kristadb]

Hmm I'm sure that I already posted I'm buying a bike tomorrow....whatever :) So yeah...I'm buying a bike tomorrow. Yea for Krista!

I don't own a car, so this is a great way to run my grocery store errands. It's too far to walk and really too close to drive.

[Cissy]

Rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes, did upper body weights. I was all excited, my brother didn't take his weights to college with him, so they're mine, hahaha.

[Funkified]

i walked to the vet, fast, cause it was going to rain, and i had class...it was furthur than i thought (no biggie if i wasnt in a hury), but still a nice walk, 35 minutes or so

30 minutes on the cross trainer
30 minutes on the treadmill
500 crunches
20 minutes lower body.

go hamsters go!

[NDvegan85]

I did 45 min of running this morning (intervals) and 40 min of Pilates.

Great job everyone!

Hmm. The listing says runtime is 60 min, but I have two almost hour-long workouts on there.

[vegansurfer]

Today was the first day of cross country for me. Last night I decided I was going to do it.
I only had a 2 mile run, with 10 stairs (=.5 mile)
.5 mile walk up to practice
.5 mile run back from practice.
I shouldn't be bummed with 3.5 miles, but the majority of the team was doing 4+.

50 crunches on my exercise ball (will me more later, but all my homework started calling to me...)

Annabanna: I think I have heard you mention taking your inhalor with you on runs. Where do you keep it?

[NDvegan85]

I have done 45 min Pilates and 35 min rollerblading so far today.

I'm hoping to go to swim club tonight... should be a little short of 2 miles swimming.

[Christy]

Tamilee Webb Arms & Abs of Steel - 15 min
treadmill - 3 miles, 3.5/4/4.3 mph w/ speed intervals - 47:43 min

[vegansurfer]

2.25 mile run. 1.25 miles of that was all up hill. Ughh. Luckily the last bit was downhill, which I love.
1 mile walking to and from practice.
I'll probably do some crunches later.

[Cissy]

Rode the bike for 30 minutes, did some lower body work, doing abs later.

[vegangurl191]

Played basketball for 1 hr. Biked and played frisbee for a few minutes...Did 35 push ups.

[Funkified]

700 jump ropes
100 bicycle crunches
50 pushups
stretching
some butt stuff

[IamJen]

dang, funk, you must have abs o' steel with all those crunches. My gut hurts just thinking about 500 of em. Ow ow ow....

Yesterday:
the typical 30/30 eliptical/treadmill
walking with the munchkins

Today:
30 mins eliptical/40 mins treadmill, 15 minutes rowing
lots of walking with kiddos
walking to work/back
nice long bike ride in the cool evening air (God bless Autumn! :D )

No upper body weights yet...tried some on Tuesday...hurt like hell. :(

[cyk]

Today was the usual jiu-jitsu practice again... 3 hrs. Various warm ups down the length of the gym, then 15 various ab exercises each around in a circle, about 21 students... Then we were rolling until the end.

:hamster:

[NDvegan85]

Today was just 50 min free weights and 35 min stationary bike. I was tired from swim practice yesterday!

[annabanana]

Annabanna: I think I have heard you mention taking your inhalor with you on runs. Where do you keep it?

I usually just hold it in my hand. This works nicely for me because I always feel like I need to be doing something with my hands. I've also tucked in between the elastic part of my shorts and the skin on my waist/hips...it doesn't fall out and I don't find it very uncomfortable. Generally I like to keep it in my hand so it's right there when I need it so that I don't have to fumble with it. :)

This week...

Mon: 7 mile run
Tues: 6.5 mile run
Wednesday: 4 mile run
Thurs: 8 miles total, but it was speedwork so it was 4 miles of combined warmup/cooldown
Fri: 4 mile run
Tomorrow...first meet of the season :surprised I don't think it will be too bad though. The distance seems really short compared to what I've been running the past few weeks!

:hamster: Keep it up, hamsters! :hamster:

[Jessikt]

Biked to and from school (15 minutes each way), it's a great little workout that I'll be doing almost daily until about December! Hehe, one good thing about school! :D
I also did about 175 crunches, and some stretching.

[slynny]

3 mile run.

FB, that's great!

kristadb, a new bike! Awesome! Enjoy :rockon:

Cissy, inherited wieghts ay....we'll expect you to make use of those:)

Funk, Great workout!!! heheheh making all us saggy tummy/wannabe tight ab people jealous as usual:D You Go!!!!

IamJen, sorry you're hurting yet, sounds like overall you're feeling better. :bobo:

cyk, great on the jiu-jitsu!!!

ND, I think you may have forgotten we don't use the word 'just' with regards to our workouts. Just a reminder:) it was a great workout!

annabanana & vegensurfer, there are lots of running shorts you can buy with pockets. I have a pair with two lg zipper pockets...so things don't go bouncing out, there is also a velcro pocket in the back...up near the elastic waste. I got them at Target for under 20 bucks. These would work for holding an inhailer, I use them for gel pacs.

Go Hamsters!!!

[Funkified]

[Cissy]

It's entirely too hot for cardio today :( It's almost 80, and we don't have air conditioning :( But I did clean out my closet, and got my heart beating doing that :p It took a few hours too. Plus I'll do strength training and abs today.

[NDvegan85]

Oh and my apologies everyone, no more "just"-ing over here. I wasn't thinking yesterday!
