Well, I pretty much met my goal this week - 3 days at the gym, with weights and cardio! ;)

Tiki, I just pushed up to level 7, and spent the whole time having little talks with myself and bargaining - "just 5 more minutes, then you can stop," "you can take a break and a sip of water when this song ends," and so on. :lol: Whatever it takes to keep going, no? I always feel good when I've done what I said (to myself only) that I would.

Yesterday I hauled my bike to the gym and did a short, 20 minute, ride before going in for weights and "real" cardio. (Later in the season the bike will be "real" cardio, but my seat is not ready for that yet. :eek: ) It felt so good to be doing something out in the fresh sunny spring air.

Pat get an ergonomically correct seat for your bike they are expensive but well worth it...

I had a great 10k run today I ran with this lady today who I've met at the gym. I figured that she was in her mid 50's well she's 63!!

I walked 15 miles in 2 malls looking for a yellow purse and didn't find one :( Does that count? (It was really my rest day.)
Congratulations on the run, Ilene!

Mel

Got one Ilene, plus padded shorts (though I wasn't wearing these yesterday, it wasn't THAT warm! :lol: ) Both do help, but it still takes me a couple weeks til my "sit" bones don't hurt. :)

It only counts if you did walking lunges every time you went past Cinnabon, Godiva chocolates, or any food court. :lol:

I took a rest day and stayed home making obsessive-compulsive notecards of muscles for my personal trainer exam. :dizzy: Don't think I burned any calories though.

I went to the gym, ran for 40 minutes with the last 5 minutes alternating between sprinting a lap and walking a lap with another lady that runs on Sundays. Man that felt good but it was so HARD. I also worked back / abs.

Too bad about the purse Mel. I hit the mall today also in search of new running shoes (found them) and black flats to wear with slacks (didn't find).

Tiki.
