  • Wow, good job monmis12 and Tabbycat!

    Where I live, the air pollution is really bad during the winter months, and we're advised not to exercise outside . . . it sucks.

    I'm going to get a pass to my local rec center. If I can't run outside, I'll run inside and/or do the elliptical.
  • I forgot how much summer time depresses me...

    I went for a run this afternoon. It was only a short 3km. I didn't want to go but I made myself. I almost gave up when my phone wouldn't load my app properly.

    Sigh. I don't like the heat or the hot sun...
  • Rhiko - I am the EXACT OPPOSITE of you. I LOVE running in the heat. I HATE the cold so badly. It was -10 degrees (Faren) here this morning and snowing like a b!tch.

    I have been relegated to the treadmill which I hate. 10 miles on Sunday - it felt like 3X that! Going to try to do 7 tonight.

    Luckily it doesn't snow where I am, but I really don't like the heat. It's probably because I grew up playing soccer in the winter. I don't know. I am just resistant to go out these days BECAUSE of the heat AND the wind always seems to blow in my direction, no matter which direction I'm running.
  • I ran an 8 miler in a state park on Saturday. It was unseasonably warm but the rain did hold off. It involved running over a bridge over the TN river and running back as well as running up, down, and all around a park. I enjoyed it. Its part of a series and had some very competitive runners. I average a 10 min mile for anything over 4 miles and that is what I ran. I was happy because it did have a lot of hills.

    Next Saturday, I'm running a half in FL so this is taper week. I'm headed out for an easy 3 mile run in a few minutes.
  • On my forced hiatus had the surgrey lastTues and gained 7 lbs over night still has not gone away! Can pretty much only walk have been doing 2 miles a day the last 3 days...see doctor on Fri. See how much I can increase.
    No bending lifting squatting for at least 6 weeks.
    But the back surgrey seems to be a success ...happy Dance
  • Walked 3 on Thur 2 on Fri and 4 today! Saw doc for 1 week check it had been 10 days he is ecstatic that I am walking so much...still really swollen and bloatedbut walking feels great
  • Keep up the walking, Gayle, but let your body heal!!!!

    I might actually get to run outside tommorow!!! We have a TON of snow, but the roads are pretty clear for the first time in weeks!
  • Two slow walk/run miles on the treadmill yesterday but I'm just glad to be back to jogging during this pregnancy!
