august exercise challenge

[Ceradad 10]

Note to self, when your groin and hamstring muscles are still tight from doing legs, do not try to go heavy on dead lifts. Tends to strain those muscles.:thumbup:

Anyway, did shoulders last night. Ran 3.6 miles again this morning. This afternoon will be tri's and forearms.

Last night:

PS - IT'S NOT YOU 3 - I'll make it 4 again - I made myself read all your entries to lay more guilt on

Last day of August. WTF!!!! Where did the summer go? Oh well, at least it's almost time to watch my 'Boys stomp through the NFC East.:biggrin:

Ran 6 miles this morning. Started out looking to do only about 4, but just kept going when I hit the 2 mile mark going out. Figured I'd see if I could do the 6 mile route after only being back at running for a couple weeks. Tired, but felt good at the end. We'll see how it goes the rest of the day.

Tonight will be chest again.

I'm just the opposite on the food issue. Once I eat, I cannot do cardio. I have to do cardio before any food is consumed or I just don't feel like I can breath.

i'm not running, so maybe that's the difference?

typically i have greek yogurt w/fruit.

btw - doing nothing today:)

So fri and sat nights had to take shorter lunches - so only went about 2.5-3.0 miles but last night was closer to 3.5.

Even if it is on the elliptical, I don't feel "right".

Morning, all!:biggrin:

Extended my run distance on Sunday morning at hubby's insistence (sometimes ya just need a push)...did 1.29 miles (according to Prevention.com map), ran the whole thing...felt good.

Hubby decided that if we make it through a run (extended distance) with no problems (shin splints, having to stop, etc) then we extend a little at a time until we hit a new limit. Add on a block or so each run day until we hit one we need more time on...not 100% sure I'm ready for that, but what the hey - at least my distance will keep going up! :biggrin:

Sometimes I think my head gets in the way - I could do more, but I don't THINK I can, and sometimes I don't try. Having a running partner pushes me to realize I really AM stronger than I think I am.

We'll see how it goes...looking forward to tomorrow's run. Walked this morning - no problems.:blushing:

Will walk at lunchtime and again to the train station tonight...onward and outward!
