All right that's it!!!

I GIVE UP!!

You are doing absolutely great Laura. Keep up the awesome fitness work. Remember just a few months you were an observer of fitness and now you are an active participant with your mountain biking and running. Look how far we have come. We are all moving forward towards our individual goals. Every day is a new day to try something new.

Still at 38.7 today... I've not logged any miles but I've been busting my butt in my sons room ALL DAY! I'm redoing the whole room and the new stuff gets delivered tomorrow..

So does that count for anything???

You guys killed it yesterday. Nice job everybody.

4.5 on the stationary bike and 1 mile on the elliptical plus 5 for yesterday's spin class brings me to 42.6 so far. Nothing like a little healthy competition to make you push yourself!

It is aqua fitness/aerobics/weights all done in Water. It kicked my butt!

The bikes in my gym don't have a digital display. Bummer. I was thinking I would give myself 5 miles for the spin class if it's OK w/ Butterthebean and every one.

I think you should give yourself more...I peeked at my monitor today at around the 45 minute mark and it was 13.7. I rode 18.9 miles in 62 minutes.

I'm okay with whatever you do but 5 miles seems low for 45 mins.

Well, thanks Georgia, I have to give credit to our instructor...she is a die-hard (outdoor) biking enthusiast (her idea of a leisurely weekend is a 2 day bike race...LOL) She pushes us HARD (nicely...darn it she is so sweet but tough!) and I do love the feeling after I walk out of there dripping in sweat!

due to very bad storms rolling through the northeast, I was only able to exercise on my stationary bike at a moderate-high resistance for a half hour for a total of 8 miles today. So far my best day! My grand total is now 36.86 miles toward my goal. Thank you all for keeping me in line...I love a good challenge!

+5 miles today running for 88 total. I did another grueling crossfit WOD today and will do one more tomorrown and, phew, rest over the weekend. 5 for 5 this week cross fit sessions. I know, a big no-no. Next week, I will get on the "3 on, 1 off" schedule.

By the way 6 lovely holes on my two hands after today's WOD.

Here is my right hand cleaned up showing 2 new large holes (was bleeding with skin falling off after round 1 of 5 today):

Caused by 16 pull-ups in the set of exercises per round. The coach said grin and bear it. I did. I think this is just a phase every cross fitter goes through.

Update: feels better today with Neosporin. I am going to try wearing some training gloves from now on.
