+2 last night

:carrot::cb::high::dancer::cp::broc:

Another milestone for me, I crossed the 400 mile mark this morning! :)

12 today, I think ~ 10 total yesterday split in 2 runs.

+ 5.05 mile run this morning...

I don't know when the last time I posted here was, but...it's true, I haven't run for the past couple of days. But last Saturday I did

+26.2!

Yes! I did my marathon! I did it in almost exactly the time I planned for (I'd aimed for 5 hours, my official time was 5:06:00) and I'm so excited that I finally did it!

(I want an explanation for why I've GAINED 2 pounds since the marathon. Excuse me? This is so unfair!)

Of course, I immediately set my new fitness goal, which is to do my next marathon, in late October, in 4:30. Because I know me: if I reach a goal, my next goal is to sit on the couch and eat bon-bons, and I can't do that.

Congratulations, great job! :congrat: And you know why you're up 2 pounds of water -- it was a mammoth effort and your muscles are retaining water like crazy to repair!

+ 3.2 miles this morning...

Wooohoooo! Diana....and I always am up 3-4 lbs after a marathon

diane - congrats!!!! i've been waiting to hear how you did!

i'm still kicking around. i've registed for the Multiple Sclerosis Bike Tour (i think it's only in canada?). It's August 17th and i'll be doing 200km over 2 days and i'm soooo excited! i have to raise some money but it's for an awesome cause. i got clipless pedals and fell over twice today when i was stopped at lights. the only negative about living downtown is the 20km+ commute to get the **** out! my knee is bruised but nothing compared to how awesome clipping pedals are for speed and climbing hills:carrot:

I think 3.5 today...its all blurring together!

5 bloody (literally - I tripped right outside my door) miles. ugh

Angie and I did 4 miles down the beach with the mutts this morning.

:D DIANE...LOL...when I trained for a marathon back in 2001 (Angie and I walked it in 5:43 & change) I received the "trophy" for most weight gained during training! I walked over 400 miles in training and gained weight...I was pretty hungry!

You ladies are all doing so well :carrot:

I hope you collect a ton of money for the cause SM177 :)

292.5/1000 MILES

Angie and I got 4 in this morning...Starbucks ~ Bunny Poo Park and home...

296.5/1000 MILES

~8 today including my slowest 10K since 2 months after having a baby. Cripes.

4.5 this morning, 3 Thursday morning. I'm going VERY slowly, as my hips are still sore from the marathon -- other parts of my legs, not so much, which really surprises me, but my hips are still quite sore.

so much running and biking this weekend, it was amazing! Everyone seems to be holding up well:carrot:

Up to 447.25 miles. Hoping to be at 470 by Friday!

Just under 6 mile run this morning.

I did just under 12 yesterday but am quickly running out of time this morning to do any....Looks like a quick 1 mile maybe will be all I get.

+ 3.25 mile run this morning...

update time:

I am amazed at how quickly I lose stamina and strength!! The last few weeks I just have not been running as aften or long as in the semi recent past--- very quick deterioration!!!

anyway, I am getting myself back in gear...
little bits and medium bits and pieces all together add up to +10. I have to go back and confirm this with my last post.

ETA, yeah, that's about right.

Wow - I haven't updated here in forever... not that I've made much progress in that time... :)

6/30 - +1.0
7/1 - +2.5
7/3 - +2.8
7/7 - +4.0

+4 mile run this morning...

My daughter and I did our second annual Father Take Your Daughter On A Walk Day yesterday. She came up after work and since it was late we only did 2 miles but had dinner together too...26 next week and still my little girl!

298.5/1000 MILES

Hi guys!!

I've lost a lot of running endurance in the past month, too, Kitty. Only one thing to do---run and get it back!!!

2.5 miles hill intervals last Saturday
3 miles total yesterday
3 miles this morning

So, 8.5

+ 3.25 mile run today...

Did I miss the Paris photos and the race photos?

Kitty, my endurance is pretty much shot now, too... I'm hoping it will improve when I can get back outside. But, until my AC is fixed I can't bear the thought of running outside and coming home to a hot house... :eek:

+4 last night, treadmill HIIT

Hmmm... cant remember when I posted last. I am on vacation and first internet access in awhile. 1 on monday, ~8.5 on tuesday, 3.5 on wednesday and a total of a bit over 9 today.

Today I was running late so I told dh I would meet him and the kids at the pool when it opened. I ran 7.5 and got there right when it opened. Played with the kids in the pool for 2 hours and then had to run almost 2 miles back to the vacation house. I was STARVING. Not going to admit to what I ate when I got home :p

No, Jo, you haven't missed the pix. Can you believe I was out of town for another week? The kids leave for camp today so once they are gone, I'll sit down and try to improve my lack of tech skills and get some up! I promise!!!

3 miles today in the early morning. So beautiful!!

Sounds like quite an active day, ennay. I would have been starving too!

3 today for 80 days. Been sleeping in on vacation so mileage is overall down, getting up at 5 on Sunday is gonna suck

15 mile bike ride today after heavy lifting upper body, so no run. I will add the mileage though....might be cheating but I'm so far from 800 right now it ain't funny anyhow.

Midwife , I'm claiming my bike miles, too! Otherwise, I'll never make my goal with what is left of the year! :o

+10 today, stationary bike

+7 this week... coming back slowly but surely. (I've re-added weightlifting to my routine, and all I have to say about that is: ow. ow. ow.)

I missed a stellar opportunity today. I only had time for a little over a mile this morning. We were checking out of the vacation rental and I ran slowly to the rental office while dh drove the kids in the van. I then headed to the restroom to change and dh was surprised I wasnt going to just keep my running clothes on. I mean I wasnt even sweaty. But I dont find sportsbras comfy for a 4+ hour drive so I changed and buried the running clothes bag in the back of the van.

30 minutes later we were stuck in traffic for a "quilt festival" in a town 3.5 miles away. If I had still been wearing my running clothes I could have run to town, grabbed a cold drink and still beaten the van to the other side. Opportunity lost. :(

We did 3.5 down to Starbucks this morning since we did the church thing last night. Gorgeous morning here but we skipped part of the route so Angie could take in an early yoga class.

302/1000 MILES

16 today

:joker: nope. but you do make me laugh. I tried to post last week 4 times but my submit reply button was denied.

I may well be pming you, Jo for some IT help in getting said photo onto 3fc. Right now the race photos are in an email to me sent from me while in brightroom's site.

run update: 3 fri, 2 sat, 1 sun, 5 today.

happy miles everyone :)

+2 miles run yesterday and + 3.26 miles run this morning...

Oh the photo anticipation, my heart can't take this! ;)

2 easy miles to be careful with my back.

<hangs head in shame for lack of Paris pix>
