  • Hi all,

    I usually just lurk but would love to join this thread for the accountability. I'm just starting out (using my Nike+ with my iPod) and will set my goal for April in minutes. I did only 40 today so:

    40/800
  • Welcome Amanda and Mary. Good luck with your goals.

    It's a beautiful 50+ degree day. I have 3 loads of laundry drying on the line. Mmmm, I love that fresh smell of spring laundry. Did a 4 mile walk with M today.

    30 min yoga
    6.25 miles
    2 hours of 30 total
  • Warm and humid here but I managed to sweat it out anyway. That'll teach me to get it done earlier in the day.

    90/800
  • Took a day off from running, so I won't be adding to my tally. I did, however, bike for about 9 miles. Sure felt like a hot summer day down here.

    3.5/42
  • 4/80 so far!

    BlzMax, thanks for posting about the Cool Running website. I started the beginner's Couch to 5k this evening. I didn't follow it perfectly, but I started with the brisk 5 minute walk, then ran a quarter lap, walked three quarters of a lap. I did it for 3 miles. As I was jogging, I promised myself never to get this out of shape again. My calves were burning!!!

    Thanks for the welcome Lovnmom.

    Well, time to get ready for bed. I'll post my updated miles tomorrow.
  • 3miles

    7.50/60
  • 2 miles tonight.

    4.5/40
  • Hey all, I'm back for more fun in April!!! I want to challenge myself again this month, I'm shooting for 110 miles run or walked and 12lbs off. Hoping to get to 140 by summer, as I will be spending alot of time in the pool to help hubby with his water rehab and strength training (want to look good). We are still a-go for May 1st left hip replacement. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the metal test this week, praying for no allergies.

  • Cakses, I love the new photo. It's much brighter and you're sporting a lovely smile.

    liligurl, Keeping you and the hubs in my thoughts and prayers.

    I tried out a new yoga dvd today that was suggested by ilene. Rodney Yee Yoga Burn. I really liked it. I can really feel a good burn in my arms and upper body and it had a nice relaxation time at the end. Dreary and gray here today. Yuck!

    90 min Yoga
    6.25 miles
    3 hours of 30 exercised
  • Oh woe is me, it is hot down here! I was only able to withstand running 2 miles this afternoon. I am going to add 2 to my running tally, but I did walk an additional 2 miles. I just could not go on with the running. My engine was overheating

    Glad to hear everyone is off to a good start! Keep it up!!!

    The jogging has gotten easier since yesterday. Of course, it could be the Tylenol I took before I went to the track...
  • April is going to be tough, auction auction auction!
