Exercise! - May ~ Walk/run Challenge

Looks like I'm first to post for May :carrot:

Got home from work a little eary today so I hoped on the treadmill for 4.5 miles. Angie will walk the dogs to the vet this afternoon, if I get home from a little side job I will add a couple more later!

GOOD LUCK REACHING YOUR GOALS THIS MONTH! :)

4.5/75 MILES

I am going to set a goal of running 45miles this month. I reached 48miles in April, but May is going to be difficult. With work and end of the school activities, not to mention house guests, it is going to be a challenge. I am starting to use running as an excuse to be alone! ;) Who'da thunk it??!?!

Will try to get out there later today.

0/45

Enjoy your "ME" time BASKGAL!

caught Angie for the last 1/2 mile on her walk...update to make it even miles!

5/75 MILES

Ok EZmoney, where is everyone? I guess it's you and me :hug:.

Couldn't start the first day of the month slacking, but I only had time for a 3mile run. Something is better than nothing!

3/45

I'm here, just had a long stressful day. The washer exploded this AM and flooded my kitchen! Just glad the day is over now :)

Still got in my run, a short one but it still counts. Did 2.5 miles total. I am planning on 50 miles for this month but secretly I'd like 60. Guess that isn't much of a secret now, is it? LOL!

2.5/50

Posted this at 1:52 am this is yesterdays lol.

Good Friday morning to everyone. I got a 4mile run in this morning. Taking the next 2 off. Have a great weekend.

7/45

Hi Gals ~

Welcome freethetoys :)

Have a nice week-end off BASKGAL!:)

Nice 6 SHY :)

Sorry about the washing machine CAT :(...that had to burn off a few cals. though :)

I had the day off so I took the dogs, 2 golden retrievers, to the duck pond and trails. We did a little over 3 miles but I am not sure if it was worth it! All the chasing, running, biting, hissing and growling...man those ducks are mean!

After that I did a warm-up ~ 5K ~ and a cool down on the treadmill.

11/75 MILES

Have a great week-end ladies :)

EZ
Thanks. Bewareeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of the ducks lol
Today 6 Miles walking/aerobic videos

Hello ladies -- mind if I join in this month?

I'm currently training for a 5K on June 1st, and if I stick to my schedule I'll get in 48 miles of running. I'm hoping to do at least 5-7 miles per week of walking as well, since I really love to walk. So my goal for May is 70 miles total.

I ran 3 miles yesterday, and 1 today, and just got back from a 2 mile walk.

Welcome coldbrightday :)...a man might sneak in here from time to time ;)

Angie had Saturday school so the mutts and I did the Starbucks "walk" by since they won't let my girls in the joint! Added a lap around bunny poo park and an extra loop since it was such a beautiful morning, sunny and 68 degrees.

Then I added 2 more on the treadmill.

17/75 MILES

Enjoy your walks/runs this week-end! :)

3 miles for me today. Did my fastest 2 miler as well in 21 minutes flat. Woo hoo. Now if only i could get more endurance so I can add mileage :) Eventually, I suppose it will happen.

5.5/50

I'll start first with a big WELCOME to all the newbies. I know Rennie, you are not new to exercise, just this thread. Good luck to all of you this month!

Gary, You're off to a great start. Bunny Poo Park is one of your favorites have you come up with a snappy name for the duck pond??? Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

cakeses, you're off to a great start. 2 miles in 21 minutes is awesome!!! The endurance will come, because you're so determined. Another 3FC friend had her washer hose come lose and flood the room last week too. Small world eh?

Great work Baskgal.

As for me. My plan of logging hours rather than miles really paid off and I still ended up doing 70.5 miles in April plus a whole lot of yoga and other stuff that was good for both my body and soul and I lost a pound. I was able to spend a lot more time exercising with my children!

Anyhoo...I'm challenging myself to 31 hours this month. It's been all about dance recital for my youngest daughter so I'm off to a slow start, but the sunshine this morning is giving me a renewed sence that yes, spring is coming!!! Our entire school 4k-12th grade participated in a walk for Junior Diabetes Fri followed by dancing, vb, and flag tag. I spent 3 hours active with the kids so I'm counting 1 1/2 for May. It was a huge success. The kids raised $5200. Not bad for a little school.
Enjoy your Sunday!!

1.5 of 31 hours

HI GALS ~

Angie and I are going to late service at church today, last of the nieces getting confirmed, so we did a Starbucks and Bunny Poo Park walk with an extra loop for 4 miles. Such a beautiful morning here on the southern California coast :carrot:

CAT ~Faster times ~ more miles ~ a work in progress :)....reminds me of training for that marathon, at first 5 and 9 mile days were killers! but in a short time, with training, they became a piece of cake!

LOVNMOM ~Ha! No I don't have a name for the duck pond...I will work on that! We don't get over there much, although we trained there for a 2006 Turkey Trot 5K. It isn't far, maybe 5 miles. I remember those dance recitals well, my daughter and nieces! Enjoy the time with them while they are young! :)

Hope everyone is having a great week-end :)

21/75 MILES

Only did a 2 mile walk yesterday and had to do that between the rain drops lol. Since I don't generaly do any exercise on the weekend that was good for me.

Sounds like fun, count me in! I'm a walker only (doctor's orders). I need to set a baseline so I think I'll set a goal of 75 this month. Shouldn't be that hard because we will spend three days in Maine birding - guaranteed walking!

I was on the treadmill an hour Thurs., Fri and last night = 10.5; add a mile birding this morning and3.5 this afternoon.

15/75

Time for my weekly post!

I think I'll stick with 180 this month, will be tough with a weekend vacation.

th -6.5
sat - 2 + 10K
sun - 16

30.7/180
and lets revise that strollering goal up since spring HAS to arrive
0/15

Had a 4 mile run scheduled for this weekend but caught a nasty stomach bug and just couldn't do it. I did manage two leisurely 3 mile walks though, and I'm feeling pretty much back to normal now, so back on track tomorrow.

Cyndim, Welcome!!! You are doing awesome on your weight loss goal!!!

coldbright, Glad you're feeling better.

Rennie, You're too sweet. Don't get caught in the rain...you may melt!

Weather was finally really lovely yesterday and today again. I walked 2.25 miles in 30 min yesterday and played tennis another 30 min with my children. All 5 of us filled one court and just kept it going. We never keep score or even rarely play correctly accept when my oldest and I can sneak away to the park alone! It was a blast. Yeah for nice weather.
Heading out for a walk with M this morning. The loop we're going is just about 5 miles and it'll take us close to an hour and 15 min.
Have a happy Monday all!

3 hours 45 min of 31 hours

Got out there today and ran 4.5 miles. Caught a cold and was hoping to sweat out the virus!! Didn't do my best speedwise, but just happy to get out there.

40 minutes of bike riding to the library and back. It wasa great ride alone. It's just over 3 miles one way and I did it in 20 min. Last summer it took me 30 min when I rode w/o the children. Heading out to weed whack now. That'll have to count for my upperbody work out for today!

You folks doing 5, 6, 9, or more are amazing. I'll get there soon!

49/75 MILES

Have a great week-end ladies!

Been sick the last few days. Feeling a bit better today, so I got on the Tm for 3.5 miles (2.0 running). Lost a bit of my momentum at the beginning of last week, so I am trying to get back to doing this every day. Have another walk planned this evening with the family but not sure how much mileage I'll get in - taking my Nike+ stuff so I can count it though!

12.25/50

I've been riding my bike more often, so less walking.

M & F - rode bike instead, short walks - 2.5
T - 3.5; W - 3.75; Th - 3

27.75/75

coldbright, it gets easier and more enjoyable! You are doing awesome!

Great job again rennie!

Welcome devandra!

Gary, Love the new dig pic. Cute. I've signed up for my first official walk/race. 11 y/o DD and I are walking in the Cystic Fibrosis 10k being held at Henry Vilas Park in Madison,WI next Sunday. Our junior high / high school phy ed coach has a son who was born with CF. You realize how awful this disease can be when a 5 y/o you know spends 21 days in the hospital fighting for breath. We won't be racing, but we'll be having a terrific time. Wish us luck!

cakeses, You're still on track. I'm glad you're feeling better!

cyndim, You're off to a great start this month and have really suuceeded at the whole weightloss thing. A pat on the back to you!!!

Not a lot to report for exercise yesterday. I spent 20 min kicking the soccer ball around with my children and SIL. Our oldest daughter is being confirmed tomorrow. A lot of time has been going into shopping, cleaning, cooking, yard work etc... in preperation for her party. Throw in other things at school and church and I've had a busy week! Hubby and DS #2 are off at Cub Scout camp this weekend. They'll be back in plenty of time for church tomorrow, but that takes my right hand man. Anyhoo, wish me luck. I'm planning to walk, ride bike or play tennis for an hour today. Whichever the kids want. I'll edit and add it if I get it done. Again, wishes my way guys and gals!!

6 hours 45 minutes of 31 hours

My May goal was 100 miles and I'm only at 13.25 right now. I've really been trying to go, but band concerts, lacrosse games, and now band banquet have kept me from having time to go to the gym and get in my structured exercise. I've gotten exercise 6/9 days, but I'm revising my goal to 75 miles because I've got such limited time with finals and everything.

Got out there running and completed 3 miles. A little over halfway to goal this month.

Hope everyone has a great Mother's day with their families.


24/45

HI Ladies :)

Well since Angie ran a 1/2 marathon relay with her sister today (Angie's leg was 7.5 miles) I thought I would match that on my own. The dogs and I went out for a little over 3.5 miles this morning and I followed that up with 4 miles on the treadmill watching country music videos.

CAT I am glad you are feeling better :) I hope you have a nice walk with the family.

CINDY Enjoy your bike riding.

LOVNMOM Wow! What a way to start with 6+ miles! You will love the 10K...we have done a few 10K's but mostly 5K's...we just love them. There is one almost every week-end of the year around us. My father's business partner's daughter had CF, she was my age and we were friends growing up. She was always so sick. She passed away around the age of 13, many years ago. My niece was confirmed last week-end, enjoy the party.

SHY I see you have Leslie workin' overtime ;)

VIATRE revise all you need to...just keep getting the miles in the best you can, any way you can. Good luck with finals!

BASKGAL that is so awesome your are 1/2 to goal...maybe next month you'll up that ;)

HAVE A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY LADIES!

oops! Forgot to add my miles again....

Hi all!
Glad to see you all moving! I have walked 22 mles so far and I have doen about 15 riding the bike out on the trails.
My auctions went well and I have recovered and just finishing up the paper work. I have a minor surgery today so I am on the couch for the afternoon. I won't set a goal but I just wanted you to know I have not dropped off the face of the earth, just super busy but still moving :) HAPPY SPRING!

Got my 4 miles in over the weekend (aimed low what with mother's day and other committments), but I walked them instead of running. Gonna make up for that today.

Ran 5 miles this morning.

29/45

I did 3.5 on the treadmill after work.

61.5/75 MILES

L, Oh my gosh, so glad to see you back in action. I'm glad your busy season went well and didn't knock you off the trail. I gotta get my behind back on the trail!!!

free, I don't remember what your goal is for the month, but you are doing awesome!! I just love your "smile myself to sleep" quote. Is that your own? Can we call you gracey?

EZ, a man who cleans the house for his wife gets to add a lot of extra miles to his count as far as I'm concerned. The 10k won't be difficult as I won't be running it. My 11 y/o, a friend of hers and the girl's mother will be my partners. The mother has always been naturally VERY thin (just like her father) so she never exercises. We'll just be walking whatever pace the girls do. 13, that's very young. I hope we can help make a change. Great job this month!!

Baskgal and Coldbright, You two are rockin' it out this month. Great job. I need to get inspired by you!!! Send it my way ladies, please.

Ennay, the average week for you looks like a good month to most. I still don't know how you do it. You send me some inspiration too! Pretty please.

Rennie, Terrific job. All that walkin' is why you can snub your nose at that _itchy nurse.

I'm going now to fix myself a healthy brkfst and then I am hitting the hill for a couple hours. I'm posting it now, because then I know I will "just do it"

8 hours and 45 min of 31 hours

Ran 5 miles this morning w/DD in the jogging stroller. I really prefer going solo, but DH was busy, so it was either bring her along or not get out there today. Anyway, yes, I am halfway to goal for this month, but I know I will be slowing down within the next week. I have a lot going on with DD's end of school year activities, out of town guests, and preparing for our visit with the inlaws accross the pond. I don't even want to think about packing!!! Aside from the fact that my children have outgrown everything!! Kind of hard to buy anthing other than bathing suits and tank top nowadays in Florida! Oh well, enough ranting, we are off to the pool! Gotta work off my runner's farmer tan!

34/45

And I did just "do it" too. The dog and I hit the bike trail and walked 4 miles to the neighboring town, had a drink of water and walked back. It's simply the perfect day for a long walk. We're to get thunder storms this evening so it's mostly sunny, a little muggy with a great breeze. I've had nothing but healthy food and am feeling more like myself again. I did a lot of surfing around in the support section today and really am feeling optomistic and upbeat again. 3FC has got to be the single most helpful thing I do to stay on track.
Thanks again to everyone here.
Have a great day!

HI GALS ~

Busy day at work but I was still able to get the dogs out for 3.5 miles before dinner. It was my night and being limited on time I just made a chef salad...had to run to the store for some eggs...left the truck running with the air for my mutts and ran into an old girlfriend I hadn't seen since my 20 year reunion in '92...so much fun...so sad though I had to tell her about an old high school friend of ours that had just passed away last week.

You are all doing great BASKGAL and LOVNMOM way to kick it up a notch!!

65/75 MILES

Well, I feel really good because I finally got back to working on my goal. I did 6 miles today (jogged three nonconsecutively and walked three) within an hour and a half, so I'm pretty happy. I currently have just over 19 miles done so far, and I've done those all in four days because while I've exercised pretty often, I haven't counted my lacrosse practices or games towards my goal. So I'm almost half way to 50 miles and almost halfway through the month! It's pretty much on schedule since I've truncated my goal again. I'm just too busy to accomplish it because I can't go to the gym enough, especially with lacrosse.

Congrats to everyone who is making such good progress on their goal! Especially EZ, that's really neat that you've already almost met your goal!

Went a 4 mile loop with M today to add another hour and then picked my children up from school and played an hour of tennis. I should really get them out there most days. The weather is right for it now in a month it will be so hot.

Gary, My 25th class reunion was suppose to be last summer, but no one got around to organizing it ( I had done our 20th ) so we're celebrating in August with the class behind us. So far we've only lost one member of our class. Lupus when she was only 28. I feel very fortunate. You are doing awesome with all your miles.

Gracey, You're doing really great too and you're really close to goal. Is hitting goal exciting or scary for you?

LOVNMOM ~ Bummer...my sister has lupus...she has lived 20 years since it was diagnosed...the doctors only gave her 5-10 years then. She isn'r ever really well, but she hangs tough! Enjoy your tennis...a big sport in our family...not me!

Gracey ~ keep going1 DIXIE'S MOM ~ good to see you SHY smokin'! VIATRE ~ Thanks, but I was at 169 then went back up to 178...a work in progress! On the downhill slide now! Awesome on the miles...I never played lacrosse...a back east sport I 'spose.

Have a great Thursday gals! ~ Gary

3 miles on the treadmill yesterday, plus 2 miles of commute-walking last night and another 3 this morning. That puts me over halfway to my goal with half the month to go. Woohoo!!

(Now if I can just start eating better again... last weekend was rough, food-wise.)

15 6 MILES total = 50miles

lovmum- i dont know it feels weird being near my targey its been such a LONG journey, i was in a plateau for the last 6 months which has really ut a downer on dieting, i find if i am not succeeding it is easier to give up when you are close, just think, oh well this is close enough. I now have my holiday for motivation to get it sorted out, and a potential bikini as a reward but i dunno if ill feel confident enough to ware one.
so i guess im just hoping i actually HIT the goal eventually, it still feels like im at the bottom of the mountain even after loosing near 60lbs.

Long day but did 3 on the treadmill...one of my dogs may have a foxtail in her paw so we didn't go on a walk since she is limping, vet is checking her out in the morning.

68/75 MILES

So Gary, what in the world are your dogs destroying in the yard?

3 today no clue what my count is for the month...BUT i am looking forward to the 5k challange again
:wave: to all :)

L, Our weather here has been just gorgeous as well. We've been so busy with all the end of the year school events, but me and the children have been taking full advantage of the spring weather. We know it will turn to hot hot summer over night.

Coldbright, Great job on the exercise. Hang tough on the menu. You'll get there.

Gracey, I tend to back slide when I get nearer goal. We'll help push each other across the line this time!!

Rennie, Terrific job as always!!

Gary, Our weather is so nice 3 on the TM would be murder. Way to go. Too bad about your pooches paw. My doggie went 3 on the bike trail with me yesterday. Spring is setting in for her too. I can walk her leashless and after the birdies and bunnies she goes.

As I mentioned 3 miles on the bike trail yesterday for another 45 min. I also played bean bag toss outside with the children while I folded 6 loads of laundry at the picnic table. Then I even convinced my overworked hubby to play two games with us. We were outside together for two hours and needless to say supper was way late, but it was great. I'm counting that two hours as 30 min. I was multitasking AND got the entire family involved. It should count for something!!!

12 hours of 31 hours

Thanks, lovnmom! I'm back on track with my eating habits the last few days and feeling much better.

Ran two miles and walked two this morning. Would've liked to run 4 but I stayed up way too late last night and just couldn't do it first thing in the morning. Maybe tonight.

Have a good weekend, everybody!

My son's second grade class spent the entire day biking and playing at the park. It was a blast. We biked 12 miles total, played bocci ball and bean bag toss. It's amazing the difference in their endurance levels. Some had to stop every 3/4 of a mile to take a drink and rest and then others, like my DS and his friends, had to have their own adult because they were so far ahead. I suppose some never leave the driveway on their bikes. A beautiful partly sunny, breezy day. Perfect! On my own I ride about 3 miles in 20 min so I'm logging 1 hour for today's adventure.

Sure hope the dog is ok.

Thanks :). Wow you had a busy day. Sounds like great fun. Out in the drive on their bikes, heck there are some kids their parents never make leave in front of the tv or computer.

Wow ran that many miles. I don't think I could run that far unless a bear was running behind me. Way to go.

Today has been pretty good. Got a lot done and took the dog to the vet. Poor thing hasn't been able to walk on her back legs. They think what happened is that she bolted after a rabbit and messed up a nerve in her back. She has developed arthritis ( not uncommon for a dog much younger than she is and she is 14 years old, just a problem labs get ). They put her on a different mead and a pain killer and I have to take her back in a week. I sure hope these meads make the poor old thing feel better. For now, I take her outside several times a day to do her business because she can't walk on the back legs.

Since Angie and I couldn't take the dogs on a Starbucks run this morning, because Reba's foot is still sore, I did 5 miles on the treadmill when she went to bell choir practice at church. After I vacuumed of course! ;)

SHY ~Way to get up and going this morning! thanks for asking about Reba...if I can keep her from licking her foot she will be fine in a few days.

LOVNMOM ~ Sounds like a lot of "playing" going on around your house and the school...are you sure you can call that a work-out? ;)

TOYS ~ those miles are really adding up great job!

COLDBRIGHTDAY ~ Keep up the good work!

DIXIE'S MOM ~ ha! that is a Dr. Seuss Fox in Socks that my girls are tearing up. I buy stuffed animals from Kohl's for $5, the money goes to a kids charity...my dogs have fun and the kids benefit!

73/75 MILES

18th 5 miles = 63total
(i get that from going in and out to work and running around shop floor for people all day)

Rennie and Gracey, Great jobs as usual. Woo hoo!!

Um Gary, you think bike riding with 2nd graders is playing....yesterday our little village held their annual "Old Fashion Day." The entire down town is blocked off. Vendors fill the streets, city wide garage sales, kid's games, bed races (drunks push beds on rollers down the main street, stop change the sheets and down a 12oz beer, push some more, stop again change the "baby's" diaper (usually the most drunk teammate) and down another 12 oz beer and then continue onto the finsh line). It's all good clean "white trash" fun. I as the Cub Master in town run a "box" car derby race. The car is a box we decorate. The children hold them and run 3 laps. Lap 1. their pit crew washes their windshield ( a spray in the face and a paper towel dry off ) Lap 2. they refuel ( drink 8 oz of water ) The 3rd Lap they change tires ( exchange their shoes for firemen boots ) The kids have a blast. I always offer High School kids a dollar to run it for our entertainment etc...my in-laws donate cool medals for 12 winners etc...My son's in the Troop and they ran a car bash (remove all the glass from an old car and let people pay you to beat on it with a sledgehammer ) Yes, young men are more than willing to pay so they can show off for the ladies. Anyway, I had a blast. Walked in the parade and back and forth running events etc.. from
9am - 6pm. So, even though it doesn't sound like much of a "workout" I'm counting an hour ;)

Today, I'm off to Madison for the Cystic Fibrosis 10k. We've got a lot of youth in our group so I have no idea how many miles we'll actually walk. You are allowed to drop out at 2,4 or 6. I'll report later how many we get done!!!

Have just an awesome day you bunch of wonderful people!!

14 of 31 hours

AWESOME LOVNMOM! Old fashion Day sounds like a ton and a half of fun!! wish we had that here!

I remember those scout days. My mom was a Den leader, I was a den leader and co-leader of my daughter's Girl Scouts. So much fun!

Have a great 10K...outstanding!

I've finished my first official walk ever and had a blast!!!! Our team had 133 of the total 453 walkers in the event. $164,000+ were raised $30,000 more than last year!!! Woo Hooo! Our special guy was given the honor of cutting the ribbon and we were off. Such good comradarie and fun. I will definitely do something like this again.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Up and at it early today. I've had such a long week of doing for others I've decided to surprise my hubby today. My mother's coming to stay with our children for the night. I'm going to pick the hubs up from work and whisk him somewhere...where we will end up I have no idea, but we will be soaking in a hot tub somewhere and not coming home until tomorrow.
Have an awesome Monday!

Sorry I have been MIA this week. I knew I was going to run into a problem with my lack of time this week. I got in a 3mile run late this morning. Goodness it was hot! Luckily it has started raining!!! We have been in such a dry spell, that our front lawns look like hay! Anyway, total for the month so far is 37/45 running. I am going to try to set the alarm early tomorrow and get a long run in before taking the kiddies to school. I have good intentions...........

Well my Reba (dee-ba-doo) was feeling much better today so I took her and Rylee (girl) for 3 miles after work.

Over goal since I had a slow week at work two weeks ago...and still more days in May!

77.5/75 MILES

Finally did that 4 mile run. My first ever! Not that bad at all, really -- the middle was kinda rough but by the end I felt like I could've gone another mile, easy. Planning to try for 5 next weekend.

Tonight I'm thinking a 3-4 mile walk.

Thanks for being here ladies... just thinking about reporting back to y'all keeps me moving, and you're all doing so awesome, so that's extra inspiring.

XO,
Stella

Sorry been MIA - work and life stress was getting to me. But I'm back and some backlogged miles to report (not many unfortunately).

5-12: 2.5 miles
5-19: 2.0 miles
5-20: 2.0 miles

18.75/50 umm yeah....let's just say May was a bad month. I've still got some time to make up some miles but I don't see 30+ miles coming in the next 11 days. Going to try to at least get close though and re-try for 50 in June!

Yesterday Total Miles 88.4 Goal 132

1. Walk Away The Pounds With Leslie Sansone 3 Mile Super Fat Burning ( 48 Min )
2. Walk Away the Pounds Express With Leslie Sansone 4 Mile Super Challenge ( 58 Min )

Baskgal, Your doing great. I bet you'll have another over goal month. WTG!!! Here we've had so much rain, snow, rain everything is very green and too wet. We can usually see sprouts in the fields by now, but hardly anything has even been planted yet. Keep going you're doing awesome.

Gracey, You're really doing awesome. That tickers moving down and you are headed for that bikini. Pats on the back for you!!

Gary, So glad Reba's feeling better. Are you taking the rest of the month off sinse you're over goal?!?! ;)

Stella, Furious on the 4. You should be so proud!!

Rennie, Keep on a moving girl. You are kicking butt!!!

Cakeses, I'm with you. My schedule has just not left room for the amount of exercise I like to get in. We may be down, but we are not out girlfriend. We have a few days left in May and then June is a whole new ballgame as they say. Let's keep moving!!

Had a real blast with the Hubs. I picked him up at work Mon. and whisked him to Majestic Pines casino in Black River Falls,WI. We gambled, ate too much, drank a little, soaked in the hot tub, watched some movies, relaxed. It was awesome. Not near long enough. We were gone 24.5 hours total, but it did really help. I'm off to Circus World Museum with my son's class today. I know it's lame, but we'll be walking and playing all day again so I'm counting 1 hour. I can't waite until June so I can have my life back. These are good times, but I feel kinda ugh. Too much fast food not enough heart pounding exercise. My weight's up 3#, but I have a few days to get that to drop back down before it's "official." It's times like these that I have to remember I'm still 7# less than I was in November and just keep moving forward. Thanks for always being here for motivation!

Nothing today gals...long day at work...but Angie and I hope to get 3-4 5K's in this Memorial Day Week-End at different locations and difficulties...we shall see.

Have a great Memorial Day Week-End Everyone!

6 miles total commute-walking over the last two days, and 2 miles on the treadmill yesterday morning.

My training schedule (for a 5K on June 1st) says 3 miles today, and I really want to do that, but I feel totally wiped out. I'm quitting my job and starting school soon and getting ready to start training my replacement who starts next week and DAMN is there a lot to do between now and then. I'm very happy to be starting school but feeling SO frazzled. Maybe a good run would actually revitalize me...
