  • SeeMyFeet - Sorry your RA is giving you so much trouble I agree with Joy, first day of summer is perfect for a fresh start!

    I'm doing well with my miles goes and still have a week and a half to go! I've already done more miles than I did in May. I think I may actually take the mileage back a little bit this week because my legs are sore and tired. Look forward to a rest today. Adding 10 extra miles in a month is a lot so time to slow it up a bit.

    May goal: 40 miles, 5x strength train (ST), plan workouts weekly

    6/1: 1/5 ST, Week 1 plan
    6/3: Run, 2.52/40 miles

    6/17: Week 3 plan, 2 mile run = 24.56/40 miles
    6/18: 2.49 HIIT run = 27.05/40 miles
    6/20: 3.5 mile run = 30.55/40 miles

  • Yesterday at the gym I realized it will likely soon be time to cancel my gym membership. We still don't have an official date on the move to Denver, but we have to be out of our house (and likely into my parent's basement!) by July 20th. My gym would be too far out of the way for me to continue it. My parents have an elliptical and a small assortment of hand weights in their basement, and I can keep up with the running outside when it isn't too hot. But the change will certainly be a test! I've really been enjoying my routine, and now its about to get shaken up. Maybe I'll bust out the 30 Day Shred while there.

    At this point, I am trying for any kind of exercise. I just need to get myself moving. I need to do stretching and flexibility exercises as much as aerobic exercise. I want to gain flexibility and strength. If I do an hour every day from now to the end of the month I can make my goal.

  • This month hasn't worked out (pun intended) as well as I would have liked. I haven't got to the gym 6 days a week, every single week but when you're sick you can't really help it. If I wasn't sick I was there with the exception of the one day, when I took a nap and woke up too late to make it! I think I have done pretty good. I have one more day tomorrow for this month and I will be there with bells on. Congrats to everyone else who made their goals!
