It was an excellent run but I'm more sore today than the day after my last marathon. Funny how that works, isn't it?

[catswym]

today: 2.5mi walk and 50min aerobics/ calesthenics

[CaptainSwab]

11.5 mile bike ride today on a neat bike path we found.

Got some good gym time today: 45 mins treadmill, 30 hour eliptical, 15 mins rowing. Free weights, cybex, 50 crunches (oof)

Also did some walking..about 4-5 miles all together.

Hi Hamsters! :hi:
Well, I'd like to say that even though I haven't been posting I've still been Hamstering, but......that wouldn't be true. It's been almost a week since I've done anything. I haven't taken this much time off since after the marathon. Ahh well, I think I deserve a little vacation. In fact I'm going to be taking a few more days to go up north to play in the snow, but I'll be all carbed-up and ready to go on Monday :D

Doshkel and nkuvu, Welcome to the Hamsters! :hamster:

And to everyone else :wayne: for continuing through the holidays!!!

All you Hamsters are Awesome!!!

[IamJen]

Gearing up for the new year :) :

Gym: 60 minutes treadmill, 45 minutes eliptical, 15 minutes rowing
100 crunches
Walking..about 4 miles.

No biking....:( snow everywhere, lol.

[Shadowlee]

Dragged my lazy :moonpie: to the gym today! Yay me. Did 40 minutes of cardio, plus weights.
Will go again tomorrow - yes I will! :whip:

I've joined the Weight Loss Challenge, so I need to keep moving.

[Virtue23]

Ok, I'll be joining this thread soon - yay! Only, I do dance exercise. Does that count?? I do situps and leg work at home too, but nothing worth noting.

Yesterday:

2-hr aerobic-like dance practice

And starting next week, I'm joining a jazz dance class, which takes place on Thursdays for 1.5 hours for 11 weeks. So excited!!! That, plus my dance practices on Tuesdays and Saturdays, will equal substantial workouts at least 3 times out of the week.

:bobo:

[roqeja]

Ran three miles, some weights

[MezzoEmi]

Monday:
Same - ran three miles and an hour of really intense upper body weights followed by stretching, then lower body calisthenics (crunches, leg raises, etc)

[Virtue23]

Haven't been posting lately, but I've been running.

Today was 8 miles.

I'm thinking of doing a race on New Year's Eve that starts at 11:45 pm. So it starts in 2004 and ends in 2005. I can't think of a better way to begin the new year!

[MezzoEmi]

NDVegan - GO FOR IT! That sounds AWESOME! Wish I could be there running with ya!

Tuesday:
45 minute walk
30 minutes yoga and stretching
15 minutes general lower body calisthenics (lunges, squats, single leg hip raises, ball leg curls.)

Way to go everyone! Keep it up! :)
