TGIF!! Today is my rest day and I really need it. I had thought about pulling a Jessica (so I won't yell at you) and getting in chest since I've not been able to do that one yet this week. But I'm going to listen to my tired body and rest up for my training runs this weekend. I'll try to get DH...

Well I'm back from a cold run - but it was a pretty good one. I still have not done chest this week b/c I need DH to spot. Debbie - I love that you're taking full advantage of your rest week! Belinda - I'm using a half marathon training plan from Runner's World. Roxie - welcome back...

Hi ladies. Yesterday I did about 15 mins on the elliptical, biceps, abs, then about 7 more on the elliptical. Today my running plan calls for 4 miles plus 4 sets of pick ups (start slowly then build speed for about 20 seconds). It's freaking cold as hell though so this ought to be really...

Melissa - sucks to work at work :eek: Nope, still hate the elliptical! That's kind of funny about the music bugging you I must say. Maybe you've just heard it one too many times.

Hi ladies - I think I am going to hit the gym for about 20 minutes on the elliptical and biceps and abs today. It's freaking cold but sunny - 16 degrees right now with wind chill of 2!!!! I thought I lived in the south! Jessica - enjoy your snow day! Chris - our roads are mostly clear now...

Debbie - So do you think you'll get a day off from work out of the snow? I bet with Jessica, her not checking in is the new job situation. Not a clue about Roxie though! Maybe we should all send her a message just to make sure she's ok?

Hi ladies. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. Had a sort of snow day. 2 hour work delay, then I got here and NO ONE was here. Ended up going back home around 12:30 and working from home. I got in a leg workout before work then I did 3 of the step combos and abs from LIC when I got home. This morning...

So today my half training plan called for a 4 mile run, so DH and I went and got that done down at the river trails. It's gorgeous today, but windy and low 40's. I had hoped to get chest done, but oh well. Tomorrow's training calls for 6-7 miles. AND it's supposed to snow. Nice huh???? This will...

It's not one she has posted. I think I probably still have the original worksheets for it. But it's an 8-week rotation. You work full body 3x/wk but it's only 1 exercises per muscle group so it goes quickly. I tweaked it a little last time and worked legs 2 times adding more exercises so it was...

Chris - I think it's a combo of things so definitely off! Jessica - you should try the rotation Debbie is going to do next. I think you'd like it. I've done it twice now!

TGIF! Belinda - just enjoy the time with your kids before they leave. We'll still be here! Jessica - nicely done Nora - I don't have cardio coach - always hear great things about it though. Thanks for the info! Hope you're feeling a little better today. I think my plan today is to...

Jessica - too bad there isn't a gym on site so you could do a short workout there. That'd be cool. So far it seems to be holding up ok. I actually brought one of the triggerpoint balls to work with me to massage it since I didn't have much time to really roll it out after the run.

So excited!

So DH and I ended up taking a bit longer lunch and getting the training run done. It was super freaking windy so at times it felt way harder than it should have - that and we're both still not 100% after this cold/crud we've both had. It's sunny and low 50's at least. Jessica - I hope the...

Hi ladies - today is supposed to be D2 of W1 of my half training plan. DH hasn't started the training yet but is supposed to start today. The plan calls for 4 miles followed by 4 100 meter gentle pickups. So first 100 meters you increase speed slightly from run, then again for each following 100...

Chris - It's 1 minute but not full out sprinting. More of a race pace than sprint to the finish LOL. Basically, I pushed WAY too hard. Go figure right :eek: If you get out for a walk with Buddy, hope you enjoy it!

Hi ladies - last night I did start my half marathon training plan. It called for 2 miles done as 7, 1-minute intervals. I am going to have to get a better grasp on fast run vs full on sprint. Apparently I was not supposed to be sprinting for a minute. oops. My quads are actually sore now...

Chris - Way to go with the run. I'm starting to enjoy running in the cooler weather (not cold mind you). And my nose seems to run more when I exercise period! As for abs on rest week, I do them.

I ended up doing shoulders/triceps from week 1 of Meso 3 - done as supersets (because separated biceps into own workout) of 4x8 Warmup - Shoulder press - 12 reps - 10's SS#1 Standing dumbbell front press - 20's Flat bench triceps extensions - 16's SS#2 Seated lateral raise - 12's...

Hi ladies. I've been fighting some sort of cruddy sinus crap for a week now. Really really tired of this. I did end up doing biceps yesterday. Meso 3 so 80% (I think I could have gone just a bit heavier, but didn't really have a way to add just 1 pound). All done as 4x8 Dumbbell curls - 17's...
