Speaking of the new project, we are staying in a hotel that is about 1.5 miles from the mall. I walked each day to one of the restaraunts for dinner and was able to get 15 miles in since we stayed last night and worked today for a few hours. I will be heading back up Monday morning so I hope to get in 12 miles before I come home....at least I hope to come home next friday!!

GREAT WORK GALS!!

I hope to get some miles in tonight and tomorrow with these mutts that missed me!!

Hi everyone!

5 on the TM yesterday plus 30 min of yoga. I tried a new (to me) yoga dvd. I think it would be considered intermediate, because it was much more demanding than any I'd done before. It was suppose to be for strength and it just about whiped me out by the time I was done. I really think it will help with my aging upper body strength. I was suppose to do 4 miles today, but I cleaned the basement, cut one son's hair and my hubby's, saw a movie with my daughters, and made a nice meal so, I'm forgiving myself. I have some clearly laid plans for spring cleaning, much needed spring cleaning, before baseball season starts so I may not make my goal this month, but I'm not giving up yet!!!

Today was a big workout day for me! I declared it "Biggest Loser Day" and basically devoted my whole day to various forms of exercise. I even marched in place while watching TV (unfortunately, no pedometer so I can't count that). However, for the challenge, I did 2.76 miles running outside and 5.85 miles on the elliptical (8.6 total).

16.8/90

Great job Laura ~ Lovnmom...get those walks in around the ballfield as the kids practice.

Angie took the dogs on a 4 mile run this morning before I got back home for a short week-end....so I did 3.5 on the treadmill this afternoon watching my UCLA BRUINS win!

26/75 MILES

Laura, Hope you enjoyed the race.

EZ$, My children practice 4 miles from home. A straight shot down the bike trail. We usually ride there together and then I walk a 4 mile rural route while they practice. Getting my exercise in is much easier in the summer and I enjoy it. The bike rides are a great way to talk and hear things. Almost as good as the car. It's funny how some people think though. I've actually had parents tsk tsk me for "making" my children ride their bikes AND practice. Last summer they were 10 and 11 yrs old. It was a piece of cake for them. As it should be. It isn't all McD's fault our youth are heavy!!!

Liligurl, That's so awesome. I too hope everything flies right along and you are both holding a son before long!!

L, you've been busy. Good job!

I don't have any miles to report, but wanted to pop in anyway. 64 people from my church went to an indoor waterpark yesterday. I had so much fun. Slide after slide with my children. I wanted to talk about this here, because you will understand....I felt so awesome. Other mothers, younger and thinner, wandered around exhausted basically just trying to be patient until the bus took us all home again. Some never even put on a swimsuite. Now, I know people have different personalities, but I can say from experience your level of fitness can be a driving force in what you like and don't like. For many of these women it was obviously just too much work to haul tubes up and the stairs etc....I know, because I've been there. " Mommy's just going to read her book and relax. I'll be right here if you need me." I'm not that mom anymore and I'm so grateful. Thanks for letting me share. I'm hoping to get 7 miles done today. I hope it warms up enough so some of them can be done outside. It's below zero again this a.m. blah!!!

Hey Lovn, great job! I am with you. The kids karate place is about a mile and 1/2 away. We walk or ride bikes whenever possible.

Today is school decision day. My older son has applied out to new schools for next year. 1 yes and 1 no so far, 3 more to hear from!

Auctions will be quiet for the next few weeks as the schools are on break, we are going to visit the outlaws this week to play some golf and walk in the sun. Looks like 60's where they are which is far better than the 20's here!

I am off to take the kids and friends to the arcade today. Miss Chick will get in a walk with me later! I will need the quiet :)

Ran 3 miles today.

10.5/35

liligurl - congratulations!!!!!! that is awesome!

lovnmom- good for you for feeling awesome! I can totally relate..... I didn't think a year ago I would ever be comfortable in a bathing suit again. I took DS swimming this weekend and was definitely the fittest mom there. DH said I really stood out. It made me feel great!

2 quick ones last night, and 4 this morning

25.25/ 75

9 miles this evening - 61.3/135

3 this afternoon, I needed the time to clear my head from all of the school stuff, 1 yes 1 no and 2 waitlist so far, 1 more to heat from. We were suprised about the waitlists, we thought 1 ould be a no and the other was a saftey and we were shocked to find out he did not get in. Anyway he is ok with all of it so far.

3 miles is my personal running best and I have managed it 2times! :carrot::carrot: Slowly, but surely..

So far: 13.5/35

Welcome happyteacher, 1 mile walked is better than 20 min on your behind!!!

L, Is your son heading off to college or does he have his choices of high school or prep?

WTG Baskgal!

I got 5 miles in outside. It is simply beautiful. Yes, I still had to wear my ear band, scarf, gloves and long johns, but no coat. Some places were really cool. The ice is still an inch or more thick in some spots on the road, but with these little rivers running through them. The sounds and the sun are just what an ole gal needs. I've been a bit edgy because I'm behind my scheduled miles for the month, but I only have 8 miles scheduled for next week, because of my need to spring clean before Easter gets here. I realized this morning that I have 3 of the 5 magor cleaning jobs done already. If I can keep my pace all I'll have to be concerned with next week is walking the miles I'm behind this week. That will be really nice. To take long walks every day of Holy Week rather than rush around cleaning and worrying. I think God shuffled my schedule for me, because He knew better!!

2 more while the kids got their hair cut

2 quick ones today, I need to take miss chick on a long one tomorrow since we will spend about 16 hours in the car on Thursday to get to the outlaws in NC! I can't wait to walk on the beach and play a little golf, BUT I am most looking forard to NOT putting on a winter coat for a week :)

My son has applied to high schools. Our public school is having some issues. That is about all I will say :)

Keep on moving ladies and gent!

No miles last night :(
BUT I did 1 hour of Cardio Kick-Boxing on Tuesday, and will do another hour tonight... Running has definately put some muscles in my legs - 'cause I was able to kick high!
My abs are a different story...
