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

[vegansurfer]

2.5 miles, half of which was up hill
100 crunches, 50 pushups, bicycle crunches with my coaches little twist, leg lifts
1 mile of walking to and from practice

Way to hot today for running hills. It was probably only 65° but that is hot by our towns standards.

[NDvegan85]

Yesterday all I had time for was 40 min of rollerblading and today was a 7 mile run. :nana:

[kat]

Still do the tae kwon do twice a week. Have my first grading on sunday- so fingers crossed!

[Gnarly]

Yesterday a bike ride, and karate and muay thai. Karate was fine but muay thai almost killed me! The instructor didn't feel like training - Tolly and I were the only ones doing anything, so he decided to make it interesting (ie hard as hell). I've never cursed a guy so much in my life :D

Today I plan on going for a run, and perhaps some weights.

And good luck on your grading kat! I just had one for karate, and it was great because I got out of doing the hardest parts (yay for absent minded instructors!) :D

[cyk]

Good Luck on your TKD grading Kat! (If you need it).. :junk:

[rincaro]

Yesterday I did week one, day one of my Couch to 5K program. I swear I am gonna finish that danged thing! And in the afternoon I did my 25 minute pick the boy up from school bike ride (in the rain).

[kat]

Cheers for the good lucks. Uhm Gnarly- how did you get out of doing the hard bits. Just a sweet smile and a spot of luck? Heh heh. This one shouldn't be too hard as it's my first. It's more hard as it's the first so wont not what to expect,

[Cissy]

Haven't been working out, I've been ungodly sick :cry:

On Sunday, I had Junior Miss practice, and I got a horrible horrible back spasm while we were jump-roping. It hurt so bad I cried and had to stop. Does anyone know why this might have happened? I stretched beforehand, and drank water too.

[catswym]

maybe it's just one of those random things, cissy? esp if it doesn't happen regularly. hope you feel better soon, tho.

for me, sunday was a 4mi walk. yesterday was 3mi walk and 50min aerobics/ calesthenics. today will be 3mi walk and 80min yoga.

[Formerbaboon]

My everyday routine-

2 mile walk, 100 crunches.

[Minmo]

Sunday: 1 hour and 15 minute bike ride and then 2 hours of shoveling mulch over the little kids playground at church

Yesterday: nothing, I have no time on Mondays to do anything but go to class

Today: I'm about to leave for the gym, hopefully to do 30 min on the elliptical trainer and maybe some on the treadmill

[Christy]

Kathy Smith Peak Fat Burning (cardio w/ intervals) - 40 min

[rainbowmoon]

I'm sorry you don't feel well, Cissy. :love:

Today I had my swimming class and did lots of biking around campus.

[rincaro]

Did my my second day of my Couch to 5K program. They should probably rename it the "eyes-glazed over, butt bearing the imprint of your office chair, carpal tunnel from from too much typing To 5K" program. Or maybe that's just me. ;)

[rainbowmoon]

Lol, rincaro.
I'm being a bad hamster today. I'm wasting time on VB, I have tons of homework, laundry to do, and a friend coming over to help with my Math. SOOO, looks like hamstering will have to pick up tomorrow. I'm having a hard time getting into a routine here at school.

[Gnarly]

Uhm Gnarly- how did you get out of doing the hard bits. Just a sweet smile and a spot of luck?

One kata I didn't have to do because he forgot to include me when he told us which groups had to do it (later he said I deserved to get out of it for actually listening to what he said :D ) and the other he just seemed to forget that I needed to do it at all...when I told him afterwards, he was like, "What? You had to do that? Dammit!" So that was cool. :)

Urm...tonight I have karate and muay thai, and last night I went to muay thai.
Pretty much it...my legs are still hurting from Monday.

[catswym]

so yesterday was 4mi walking and today was/will be 60min power yoga (a very nice way to start a thursday!) and 3mi walking.

[kristadb]

Biked to the grocery store (~4km), biked back (~4km) carrying $65 worth of groceries in a pack.

[rincaro]

Did my 25 minute bike ride to pick up Big J from school.

[Funkified]

[rainbowmoon]

Swimming class today and biking around campus about 1/2 an hour.

[Linzey]

Did 5 miles on the elliptical today...want to do a few more. Have been doing 12 to 15 most days this week, so I've been lazy today.

Hey there Hamsters! I haven't been posting for a while but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything :) There's just waaay too much school work to be done to come here, though I do sneak a few minutes' worth of VBing in every day :D

I had a cross country meet today and am quite satisfied with my time. I dropped 2 minutes since running the same course for time three weeks ago! Yay!

So that was about 6 miles of running, including the warmup and cooldown (3 mile race, 3 mile warmup, shorter cooldown becuase it was getting dark outside).

Yay Hamsters!
