Workout Accountability: Thursday
Friday is so.close.
I ran 4 miles yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the weather. The sun came back out and it was nice and breezy instead of windy. I'm feeling a little sore today because I'm an idiot and completely forgot to stretch afterwards. When I got home I just immediately started cooking dinner instead of stretching.
Oops!
Tonight I'm lifting and doing the elliptical. I think I'm on track to increase my weights for this routine tonight, we'll see.
How did everyone else do?

Re: Workout Accountability: Thursday
Way to go ladies. I am taking today off, but might bike if I get bored tonight. Tomorrow AM will be a weight day.
This is a big deal because I have severe asthma and working out has been helping it improve. After my regular workout I decided to try running, and when I got to the half mile mark which is usually where I have to quit, I felt great! SO I ran another half! When I got done I ran all the way up the stairs to tell everyone. I know it doesnt seem like a big deal to some people, but I was so excited and it shows me that my working out is really starting to improve my health, breathing wise.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday, keep up the good work...I am new on here so sorry to barge into your conversation!
This morning I went to spin class. I have tomorrow off so I should be able to get a good long work out in the morning. Saturday will probably be a rest day for me as I will be at services for my great-grandmother. Then hopefully I can pick it up again Sunday!
Nice job everyone!
My last two nights have been great gym and eating wise. Tuesday, I did 45 minutes of elliptical and 35 minutes weightlifting. A lot of abs, so they were sore yesterday...a good sore. Last night, I did 35 minutes on the treadmill with intervals. I actually made it through the interval portion without having to stop and walk, so I was super excited! And then I did 35 minutes on the recumbant bike.
Ibarr--I thought my intervals were going well until I saw yours! That's an awesome workout!!
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.
I got in an hour swim this morning where I pushed to swim 2,500meters. Warmed up with a 500 meter (20 lap) swim; then alternated a 50m freestyle sprint with a 50m recovery kick totaling 500m; then did a 200m swim where I sprinted for 25m and then recovered for 25m; switched to a 200m pull only (which turned my arms to jello!); then did a 500m swim for time and knocked off a full 2 minutes from my time last month; I then did a 200m kick alternating each 25m with a sprint then 25m recovery; switched up strokes to a 200m moderate swim alternating freestyle for 25m and breast stroke for 25m; then did a 200m cool down.
I have to say I struggled a little with this one and felt "heavier" than normal and have felt bloated the past few days. I really dislike my workouts during this PMS stage... the scale hasn't budged either... but I won't focus on that too much this week. I just need to be consistent with the workouts and diet because this is usually where I tend to fall off the wagon.
I'm feeling ambitious enough to do spin tonight. If not, then I'll spin tomorrow morning.
lbarr: I love your workout! I'm going to have to try that one!
Plarson: Congrats on your accomplishment! It always feels great when you push yourself beyond what you originally thought you could do. Keep up the running progress!
