Oh, Monica, your twins are adorable! Yes, a good reason to want to be healthy!

I'm at 158 today. Wanna be down to 135-140. I'm just a wee one vertically, at 5 ft and a bit.

And so, before I go to work I want to do 10 minutes on the T.L. Gazelle. It needs a new battery, so I'm off to do that before I do anything else.

Greetings! Nice to see you all setting goals as we walk/run into springtime!

I know I've been slack on reporting my miles & actually haven't set a goal for Feb or Mar...but I have a reason! I'm madly trying to prepare for my triathlon so I'm not focusing on miles at this point and I've also recently discovered Bikram (hot) yoga. I love it!!!! It's a 90 minute yoga class in a room heated to around 105 degrees. I just signed up for 1 month unlimited classes, so over the next 4 weeks I am going to go to as many Bikram classes as I can fit into my schedule. I think it's really helping my body recover from my triathlon workouts. I seriously needed to focus on my flexibility, so this seems to be just the thing. I actually threw up after my first class, but now I feel WONDERFUL. I've learned that taking an Emergen-C right before class wipes out any tummy upset or headaches. And, you must be super hydrated BEFORE coming to class. Knowing I'm going to yoga class really keeps me on track with my water intake.

On the running front, I'm running a 10k on March 24th. My running buddy just moved away, so I'm going this one solo. I want to be able to comfortably run a 10k before the triathlon rolls around. Since the 5k run is the last leg of the triathlon I don't want to struggle through it.

Good luck everybody!!!!

I guess my only real goal that i can fully commit to at this time with running is sticking to my Couch to 5k program, which I am faithfully doing every other day.

Yesterday was a rough one. I started counting down the hours while at work, and then when it was time to go running, it was one of those ones where your legs feel like they are dipped in cement. But I did finish, and worked up a good sweat while I was at it. Lots of knee pain, and a few hours laying on the couch with bags of frozen vegetables on my knees.

The weeks are really flying by! Tomorrow is the last workout for week 3, and then it is on to 4! I can't believe that I am really doing this!

I just did a 3.25 mile walk with dh.

March goal: 55 miles
Miles completed: 13.75
Miles still to go: 41.25

Good evening ladies!

3 mile express walk in the am, and 2 mile express walk in the pm...14242 steps on the pedomiter

so 29 miles walked and 71 miles to go!

Happy trails,

Wanda

30 minutes on the treadmill this morning:

47.2/125

Hi all,

4 mile walk video in the am, 12160 steps for the day on pedomiter

67 miles to go until I reach the 100.

Sweet dreams,
Wanda

6.3 today, 19 for the week (skiing tomorrow so no running) and 27.3 for the month

I did a 14.3 mile race today (odd distance!) to take me to 61.5/125. I'm almost half way there!

As inspired by Genesis, here's my first post. Although I have a bad back and other health issues which keep me from being the jockette I used to be, I still try and be as active as possible. This includes taking reformer Pilates classes two to three times a week. So along with my Pilates commitment, I'll make a March mileage commitment as well. I can't walk or run along with you guys, but I can pedal on my recumbent and accumulate miles on the elliptical. So here we go (keeping in mind 11 days of March have come and gone):

Elliptical - 40 miles
Recumbent - 40 miles

I guess I'll find out how reasonable these goals are I as go. Wish me luck!!

Those kittens are gorgeous!!

Is it too late to join?

Hi there I am new to this site and the walk/run chalange sounds great. I live in Osoyoos BC Canada and spring is almost here so getting out is a lot nicer. I recently purchased a set of walking poles, so here goes. I have 30 pounds I would like to get rid of. Wish me luck!

Welcome Bunny good luck!

Today too busy, only 1 mile watp and just 9145 on the pedometer. 66 miles to go till I reach my 100.

Have a good night!

Wanda
