12 mile run this morning.

We are not supposed to on long runs, but we incorporated a bit of speed work in.

Goals for this week:
2 four mile runs
1 bike ride
(Now I HAVE to do those things) :yes:

80 minutes rollerblading today - 20 warmup, 40 fast (whee! exhilirating :D), 20 cooldown. I'll probably go for a walk later, too...I need to go to the store.

20 March 2005

*Supposed* to be the "off" day...but I had the chance to go to a rocky park...trail-type terrain with the d00d and his friend so I went. Did a little running...not as much as if it had been an "on" day...ran the whole way down but now I'm afraid my joints will hurt tomorrow...aych.

Oh, well. It was fun and the weather was decent for running around on rocks :)

:nigel: Cheers, hammies!

Today:

30 minutes weight training, sit-ups.

[Funkified]

30 minutes jump roping
60 minutes yoga
upper body work, pushups, pullups (i've lost some of my touch, sadly), some weights
900 crunches

felt really good, now i just need to keep it up. i'm going out of town (again) so that means i'll be slacking again....egads!

[CaptainSwab]

I love your signature Funk. :lol:

Nice hamstering annabanana, PV, and CK! :up:

[Funkified]

[Virtue23]

I'm still aching from all my dance workout/running, on Saturday! Plus, I worked almost all day on Sunday so....

today I may or may not take an extra jazz dance class. If not, I will still practice my dance moves/plies etc. later on.

Tomorrow - I have another 60 min. dance practice.

Go HAMSTERS!

[CountessKerouac]

Today:
1 hour weight training (I am starting to get hooked on this!), 30 minutes elliptical, lots of sit-ups.

[slynny]

:hi: Hi Hamsters! 13 mile run last Sun. Mon-Thur. exercise class. 10 mile run Sun. exercise class and short runs the rest of the week. Sat or Sun I have a 14 mile run, Marathon is coming up in May. Things should be quieting down here soon so I can post more...probably in April after I get back from Vegas :beer: I hope all the snow will start melting soon so I can do more runs outside...we just got about 8-10 inches of new snow on Sat. O' ya I went snow boarding today....but I did more falling than boarding...hehehehe.

Way to go all you Hamsters!!!! :vebo: :vebo: Keep on Hamstering!!

[CaptainSwab]

Goals for this week
2 four mile runs
1 bike ride Check

It was only 7 miles though. :) For some reason biking 7 miles seems harder than running 7 miles.

Hey slynny! Good to see you. We miss ya! Vegas! Whooo hooo! Snowboarding = ouch.

CK, weight training is a good thing to get hooked on! :up:

Virture, are you on a dance team?

[Virtue23]

CaptainSwab - I am on a dance team... well sorta. I'm a member of the Dance Ministry at the church I go to, and we have performances at least 1-4 times a month. So Saturday night, we had to perform one dance routine (slow) at this other church, and then they asked us to come up and perform again later on that night. So we had to dance to for like 30-45 min. extra. And this time it was more high-energy, aerobic/like.

I also take a 90-min. jazz dance class once a week, which is 60 min. dancer -workout, and 30 min. focused on learning and perfecting dance routines. :D

So, tonight I have 45-min. dance practice (we perform again on Saturday and Easter Sunday). And Thursday I take my jazz dance class.

[annabanana]

6 mile run today.

[Virtue23]

Today:

90 min. jazz dance class

God u are all so fit being able to run those distances: i feel slightly ashamed of my level of fitness( well lack of fitness lol).
I'm wanting to lose weight, get fitter ... but i am having trouble finding motivation. I was hoping that tlking on this board might give me the motivation needed to actually exercise lol.

[rabid_child]

I just thought I'd stop in for a quick hamster! I've been working out with a personal trainer for the past couple of weeks, and am experiencing pain in all new places! I took off from the gym today though cause I've got a cold, hopefully I'll be feeling better in the morning... or at least by Tuesday when I've got my next training session.

You know Autumn, you shouldn't be exercising if you're not eating. You're going to make yourself very sick.
