Hi ladies. Saturday I got in 7.9 miles (if I'd known it was 7.9, I would have run another tenth LOL). Yesterday was weights and some cardio: 2 sets of 15 reps done as straight sets. Double-arm triceps kickbacks - 12's Lateral shoulder raise - 11's Pullovers - 25 Incline (DB) chest press - 20's...

Last night I hit the gym for Day 2 of Week 1 of my total body workout. I started with 10 mins on the elliptical did the weights, some abs, and another 10 on the elliptical: The following exercises are done as 3 sets of 8 reps (straight sets). Arnold press - 20's Alternating dumbbell curls...

Chris - It's always hard getting back to it after being so sick. Take it easy!!! My legs are pretty much a-ok (calves a bit sore still). Thank goodness I haven't had any feet issues like that. I am not sure I'd run!

I ended up hitting the treadmill and elliptical after work. It was super windy and chilly out. I did 2 miles then 6 1-minute intervals then ran a few more minutes to round out to 4 miles before hitting the elliptical for about 10 minutes. Today will be weights after work. Belinda - enjoy...

Roxie - not sure if it'd be totally considered a circuit b/c you do the step workout first. It's been ages since I've done the whole thing though. Are those blasts done in between the weight segments? Or do you do those right after the long step workout?

So last night I started the total body rotation again. My plan is to do weeks 1-4 twice through. I am going to do 2 days as total body with added leg exercises as this worked out better for me the last time and one day that is upper only. Last night was 3x5 done as straight sets: Push ups...

Hi ladies. I really meant to post about the race yesterday....I took the day off and also took the day off from any workouts at all! My calves are super tight, but other than that, I feel pretty good. I am really happy with my race time: 1:54:02. That put me 20th out of 269 in my age group...

Today is a rest day for me. Yesterday I did 4 miles then 4 pickups. Tomorrow my training plan calls for an easy 2-mile run then the big day is Sunday (eek). Happy Friday!

Last night I hit the gym for shoulders, chest, triceps and abs. I went with the trisets done in 3 sets of 8 reps again like I did on Monday. I started with a 15 minute warm up on the elliptical. TS#1 Chest flye - 25's Chest press - 25's Decline pushups Staggered chest press -8 TS#2...

Yesterday was a gorgeous day and I got in a really fantastic 4.5 mile run. It was supposed to be 2 miles + 4 1:00 intervals. But I really needed to blow off steam and it felt so great to be out so I did 2 miles + intervals + 2 miles. I really could have just kept on trucking. Today I will hit...

Hi ladies. Workout recap: Saturday - 10.5 mile run (last long run before half marathon) Sunday - MMA Boxing & PH abs Monday - elliptical and back/biceps at the gym. I had a really strong workout (maybe b/c I was pissed at insurance and had lots of steam to blow off LOL) TS#1 3x8...

Debbie - be super careful going in!!! That really sucks. Yesterday I did my training run on the dreadmill. It was supposed to be 6 miles, 4 x 2:00 incline intervals, 6 pickups. I actually did 4 miles, the intervals, the pickups then did another mile for a total of 7. I just couldn't do 6...

Hi ladies. Today is going to be a treadmill run for me. Not exactly excited about it, but it's about to get really stormy out. So happy tomorrow is Friday......

Chris - gotta love it when you can call a Cathe workout easy!! Debbie - I wish I could add weight to a pullup/chinup, I meant that's what the weight was set at for the assisted pullup machine. I'm trying to workout towards unassisted still - I'm a total weenie in that category!

Last night I hit the gym for back/bis/abs and some elliptical. I think the elliptical is what my legs needed to loosen up. Feeling very weak with my bicep workouts. Really need to figure out a good rotation. Pullups - 4 at 50# on the assisted (anything less and it didn't seem like there was...

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do. Saturday I ran my longest run - 12 miles. Sunday I did legs and abs. Yesterday I ended up doing the run that was supposed to be for today (was supposed to have jury duty and didn't know if I could get the run in)...

Debbie - ouch on the back, hope it feels better tomorrow. I hear you on the eating too. Why is that so darn hard? Roxie - that really sucks on the paycheck. DH used to work for a restaurant where they had to rush out and cash the checks right away to make sure they got their money...

Yesterday I ended up going to the gym. It was way too windy out for a run. I did 15 mins on the elliptical to warm up then did trisets of 3x8 for shoulders and triceps: TS#1 Shoulder press - 20's Lateral raise - 12's Rear delt press - 12's Front raise open to side back to front (not a...

Hi ladies. I am definitely feeling soooo much better. Thankfully, it was a short-lived bug. I was able to get in a run yesterday (7 miles). I am so off track this week with my training plan b/c of being sick on Tues. I may try to get out for another run today and do some of the intervals that...

Hi ladies. Yesterday I hit the gym after work for elliptical and back/biceps workouts. Today was supposed to be a longer run with intervals, but I'm about to go home and crawl back into bed. I woke up around 1:30 with some stomach bug :( Now I'm starting to feel feverish/achy. Really sucks...
