Boy I would love to run (or in my case..jog) in a marathon. I have NEVER done that. Or, even dreamed of it. I guess you just never know.

Today, I jogged 45 minutes and walked for 5 minutes. I haven't been eating too great lately ...... however, I have been exercising every day though......now if I could just put the two together.....:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

Take care!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I have not ran a 5 mile run yet but I hope to in the next year. I ran 4.75 miles this morning in 50 mins. You sure are doing great with your time. You must run over 6 miles and hour. When I do the interve I go way up then to 8.5 then down to 6 miles. It sure keeps you working hard.
Keep posting your runs I sure like to see them. You are doing a great job.
By the way I am getting close to my goal. less that 15 pounds to go. I am so happy.

I jogged 40 mintes and walked really fast for 5.
20 minutes of sit ups and crunches.

Hi everyone got in 3.65 miles in 40 miles. Felt great. On the way to have a spa day with a bunch of mom today. Going to pig out I made a killer cheese cake and all the other food.
Tanya

I'm still moving
 

Hi!

Sounds like everyone is doing great. I upped my exercise in the last few days to make up for some slacking. I did 30 min. ellipticals, 25 min. bike and then walked one mile.

Back to work tomorrow :cry:

It certainly was fun having the week off!

Sandi

Hi everyone I did 4 miles yesterday. and felt great. I was all loose after beening at the spa for 5 hours I felt great. I out did my best too. I did 2.27 miles in 20 mins. Moe did you know that 3 miles workds out to 4.8 ks. You are almost at 5 ks. YOu don't have much more to go.
Hope everyone is doing well. Sandi you are doing great with your workouts.
tanya

Thanks Tanya! Your work out looks good too!!

I did my 5 K run yesterday. I ran 3.2 miles in 30:40 minutes. I talked to a co-worker of mine who has run 5 K's. She says your treadmill time tends to be about 4 minutes faster than your road time. She ran her last 5 K in 26:00 (outside on the road)! I think she's on the good side of average if not even better. I'm not sure the times the winners get, maybe like 17-18 minutes I think.:?:

Sandi

Hi you are doing great. I would be happy just to say that I did a 5 k. You are in the right direction. Keep going and you will be there in no time to do your run.
I did 6 miles of jogging today took me 65 min to do altogether I did 6.30 miles in 79 mins today. I like to do one day of a long jog a week. Week ends I do interve training. I have done 14.05 miles this week.
Tanya

Tanya, in your 6 miles of jogging did you walk some? You said you would love to do a 5K, but you already do. I'm confused. From what you have described you are a runner, but you run slowly. That's still running and it's still hard work. I could never do 5K a day or even every other day. Just once a week is fine with me.

On the treadmill I have the setting at about 6.2 MPH, I'll up it to 6.6 then lower it and on and on. The lowest I put it is 5.8 MPH. I'll get on and walk for one minute at 3.8 to warm up then go inot a full non-stop run until 35 minutes passes. Let me know your settings.

Sandi

Sandi I have never been outside to do one or in a race for a 5k. The 6 miles that I did was all jogging at 5.7 miles. I do go faster on the weekends when my kids are up. I start off at 5.5 move up to 6.0 every min after that I go up to .5 till I am at 7.5 I go back down and do this for 4 times on the last time I go up to 8.5 for 1 min then cool off for about 5 min at 6.3. I do this one on the weekends and the jogging during the week to keep my kids sleeping. I like to do both that way i don't get bored. I am going back to 2 day a week of jogging in 2 weeks.

Tanya,

You run a lot more than I do!!!! Good job!!!! Do you find it burns a lot of calories? I would think so.

Sandi

Hi I do. I know that when I moved it up I dropped alot but I have been doing more strength training lately. I am going back yo more cardio in a week. I like to keep moving my work outs. I don't get bored that way. The most that I have done in one week is 28 miles. I felt great too.
Tanya

I ran my 3.2 miles in 30:16 minutes today!!! New personal best!!!

You always think you can't,but then you just plow on and at some point around 18 minutes it becomes easy.

Sandi

Hi I know what you mean. Just when you think you can't go on you get that bust of energy. I jogged to day and did 6 miles. It was a hard one for me today though. I had a little stich but got it done. So for the week I did 16.30 miles. That is good.
Keep them miles coming I like to hear how you are doing.
Were did Cd and everyone else go?
Tanya

yay I'm so glad that everyone is still doing well. I had a bad relapse...I gained back several pounds! I have gone back to the gym and have changed my eating habits and I'm back in the game.

I'm just focusing on getting 45-60 minutes of cardio in each day. Some day I will be running like you guys!

Sandi and Tanya, you guys are doing SO wonderfully!

I'm so, so so impressed!
