Hi, I'm still new to the board but this thread looks like fun! I'm taking it easy from running this week, as a did a 30K race last weekend and I'm still not recovered. I'll probably go to the gym today or tomorrow. See you around.

[CaptainSwab]

Hi mark! Good to see another runner on here. Do you run ultras?


ETA: Nevermind, I just saw your coolrunning bio and see that you are training for a 100k and a 100 miler. Wow. Good luck. :yes:

[CaptainSwab]

10 miles on the bike and 300 crunches.

[cryingdyingrose]

First time poster, but I'm trying to get myself into shape. I'm quite pitiful, so any tips would help.
My goals (minimum) for this week are:
40 minute walk everyday
100 squats everday
50 crunches everyday
50 reverse crunches everday
25 sissy push-ups everyday

Now I can't cheat because it's in writing.

::sans 5 A.M. run o_O::

35-minute lower lifting session
35-minute strong, steady pace run, then about 20 minutes or so to walk the rest back...

Tonight I ran a lap around a park I haven't run at in a while, and the progress I've made is so cool for me to experience :yes:

:nigel: Cheers!

[markc7]

Today I did 125 crunches, and about 30 minutes of upper and lower body strength training. I might go for a run tonight; we've got great weather here this week, and I want to enjoy it! :)

Today:

15 or 20 mile bike ride along the beach. :smitten: Today was, in my opinion, the first day of spring! It was awesome and I feel great! Now, if only my CD player wouldn't skip so much. :mad:

[Virtue23]

Bah - my muscles are so sore today from all the stretching and practicing... but I still wouldn't miss my 90 min. jazz dance class tonight for the world. :smitten:

Jazz dance class = 60 min. dance workout
30 min. dance routine reps

Tomorrow I work late, so maybe just some crunches and stretching.

Saturday: 60-90 min. dance practice

[CaptainSwab]

3 mile run.

The best part of running a marathon is taking it easy afterwords. :D

Porvida, looks like you are doing awesome! A 5 mile walk is looong. :up:

[CountessKerouac]

Today:

8-10 mile bike ride. I stopped for about an hour to read on the beach. It is colder outside than it looks and I forgot to put socks on. I feel a cold coming on. Oh well! :)

[annabanana]

7 mile run today and some light biking.

[cryingdyingrose]

40 min walk
50 crunches & reverse
100 squats

Yay for sticking to goals!

[markc7]

A spent about 45 minutes at the gym today. Did 125 situps, tehn mostly upper body exercises.

Cap'n swab, what marathon did you run? How did you do?

[CaptainSwab]

I ran the LA marathon on March 6th. I'm a very slow runner though. I finished in 5:30 but I was hoping for 5:26 because that would have been a PR. :)
