Errr. I'm not sure how to make that other sticky thing go away but I wanted to post about my long run.

16 miles in the pouring rain and you would think that I have never ran this distance before with the way I feel right now. I feel like I was beat up, sore back muscles and everything.

Ahhh. Isn't it a great feeling knowing that you worked hard? (in some strange way).

New hamster here - I joined my local gym last week and have been three times already.

Tonight I did the cardio/weights program designed for me by a trainer at the gym (he was very cute, and is a good motivation to keep going )

I'm looking forward to exercising regularly again, I haven't done it in ages.

Hi Hamsters! Yesterday I ran a quick 3.5 with the hub. Today was basic training class (a free weight work out).

Captain, great run, sorry it was a tough one...I think that means your next one will be a breeze

Shadowlee, welcome to the Hamsters Great to see you're enjoying your new gym!

Come on all you Hamsters! Let's Go!!!

4 mile run today. I was in no way recovered from the 16. My legs felt like lead.

Welcome Shadowlee!

Slynny, it always seems to work that way with running doesn't it? I skipped the 14 miler two weeks ago so that may have had something to do with it too. You know how it is.

okay: sunday was an hour bike ride and then my bike was attacked by a produce bag which somehow (God only knows) got caught in my chain and pulled my derailer up over some spokes of my back wheel stopping me dead in my tracks. yes, i was okay but my bike was not. i then had to carry my bike three quarters of a mile down the street to the nearest bike shop. luckily they fixed it and it was all better by monday night but man, my arms are NOT. they still feel like lead.

yesterday: 3mi walk, 35min bike ride (to make sure my bike was back to its old self again), and 25min yoga.

today: 3mi walk and 80min yoga.

Ok, i just read this and when you switched from miles to minutes I totally missed it and thought you ran 40 miles!

I was very impressed...

Another 4 mile run.
My left foot still feels smashed and my right hip hurts still. Time for new shoes me thinks. It feels like these ones are nearing retirement age.

Looking good roqeja.

Moonflower, I hope you feel better soon.

catswym, yikes! Take care of yourself. That sounds like a scarey fall!
