FutureMrsFezz · May 2011

That's cool, Waltzy. I'd want gift cards to restaurants for sure!

[QUOTE]Morning! I think I pulled a muscle in my right butt check last night at Zumba...so that's awkward. MK, was it really hard for you to start running? I really want to give it a try and I know you have to build up endurance but sometimes I feel like my body was not made to run.
Posted by laurenpm[/QUOTE]

Haha I thought the same thing about me not being built to run. I've been part of this wellness program, and the focus is definitely not on running, but we do so many different strength training exercises and cardio that my endurance has been built up so much.

We are in the middle of the 8 week adventure bootcamp and basically what they've been doing is choosing locations around the town where the wellness center is and we either run or power walk to the locations (My trainer makes me run) and then at each location there's a series of strength training exercises set up at stations. You'll have 30 - 40 minutes to complete the circuit as many times as you can. And you have to run between each station.

It's hard, but you get a little breather at the stations (if you can call pushups, crunches, hip lifts, step ups, etc. a breather) but I just keep going. That's how running has become part of my life now. So now I can just run and be happy doing it.

If you want to start running I suggest trying a couch to 5k workout. They're usually about 9 weeks long and they work to gradually get you to running and then up to a 5k. You'd be amazed at how quickly you can build up endurance (you can lose it just as quickly too). I love the below website. This DJ has taken music and he mixes it to go along with one of the most popular couch to 5k workouts. So it start playing where you walk, then it'll chime, which is your cue to start running, then it'll chime again for when you're supposed to walk again. And he has a mix for each week of the workout. You can find it here: <a href="http://www.djsteveboy.com/1day25k.html">http://www.djsteveboy.com/1day25k.html</a>

Sorry that got so long.

Lauren, I second the couch to 5K. I just finished week 2 and it's really not so bad. I'm actually enjoying more than I thought I would. It slowly builds up running intervals with walking intervals so you don't start out at a flat run. If you have an iPod touch or iPhone you can download the Get Running app and play it with your own music. I listened to some already mixed music and didn't care for it, but I can play this with my own workout playlist. I think it was $1.99 which is totally worth it for the 3 times a week for 10 weeks that I'll end up using it.

My boss just walked in and made fun of my hair.

Why is this acceptable here? Last week someone commented and said that I was overweight. I am so sick of this place. And there's no HR so it's not like I can complain to the higher-ups.

mkrupar · May 2011

Wait who has long weekends? And why? Mine's a normal two day weekend. :-(

Fezz I hope you all have soooo much fun on your cruise.

Habs - Yay for selling the truck.

I forgot my weekend plans. I don't have any. Yardwork tomorrow, I pick up my dress tonight, probably clean the house and laundry on Sunday. It's a big race weekend in Williamsburg, so I'm avoiding the city like the plague.

mkrupar · May 2011

Bay WTH? Who are these crazies you work for?

alixzafiris · May 2011

Canucks have a long weekend - it's Victoria Day weekend!

FutureMrsFezz · May 2011

Bay that's shitty.
Sorry you work with douchenozzles.
You're beautiful. Tell them to STFU.

[Deleted User] · May 2011

Yay for Friday! And yay for a restful nights sleep.

Bay - that is ridiculous when you work for the Church. That makes me sad.

Tonight we are going out to dinner (except H of course) for my little sister's 22nd bday which is tomorrow. I am so glad the weather is finally going to warm up here. Maybe I can get out my shorts again.

laurenpm · May 2011

Thanks for the advice guys. The couch to 5K sounds like a good starter program for me. I've always just been so intimidated by running but I think I could do this.

Bay- That is real messed up. Does the E-mob need to form again and get out the pitch forks and shovels??

waltzingmatilda13 · May 2011

What the hell, Bay. I'm offended for you. These people aren't acting like very good Christians, criticizing you all the time.

adamar15 · May 2011

MK, what kind of music does that dj mix? Is it just techno-y stuff, or are there some vocals too?

And tiki torches and cocktails! Those are very important to the E-mob.

mkrupar · May 2011

Lauren I was on week 5 of the couch to 5k program, but I had to stop (this was back in November/December before I started the wellness program) because I had inflamed my periformis(sp?) muscle in my hip. I had to go to physical therapy for a few weeks to fix it. Take it slow. Repeat a week if you're not sure you're ready to move on. Listen to your body's aches and pains and ease up if you have to. You can technically do the program in 9 weeks, but they even say to repeat weeks if you have to.

Morning! I'm so glad it's Friday, Friday. Most of my department is out of the office and I'm hoping to have a chill day. I'm also hoping to get my passport taken care of.

I can't wait to sleep in this weekend!!!

baystateapple · May 2011

Come with the E-mob, but bring the cocktails. I could use one.

What's worse is that, once I got pissed, they started laughing about how "sensitive" I am. ARGH. This place. I'm telling you, I need a new job.

Stackeye210 · May 2011

At least us non Canandians get a long weekend next weekend. I'm so looking forward to that!

mkrupar · May 2011

It's Sangria Bay. The E-mob comes with Sangria.

Adamar it's mostly techno beats which I like because I run on the beat and I work really hard to time my breating with my running so it helps to keep it consistent.

mkrupar · May 2011

Happy Victoria Day Canadian Eeners!

baystateapple · May 2011

I love Sangria. I accidentally got really wasted on it at my BIL's rehearsal dinner. It didn't taste nearly as strong as it was. And I was really nervous being around so many people that I didn't know. Too many cups. But so delicious.

FutureMrsFezz · May 2011

Oh yeah. I get a day off after vacation before I have to go back to work.

ANDPLUSALSO. Wait for it...
I get to see TR next Sunday! *happy dance*

My mom makes a mean sangria. She made gallons of it for my wedding, and people LOVED it.

Stackeye210 · May 2011

That's exciting Missysue. You guys didn't have to spend too much time apart, so that's a really good thing! What's your favorite restaurant in Columbus? I need inspiration for where to suggest we have our anniversary dinner. I'm sick of the same things all the time.

baystateapple · May 2011

OMG, Memorial Day weekend. It can't come soon enough.

H's birthday is next Saturday. And then Sunday we're sleeping in. And then Monday we go off to the beach. Cannot wait.

[Deleted User] · May 2011

Hey Stacks, I had a dream about J last night. It goes like this: I worked at the preschool where J attended and you were late picking her up. It was after closing time and I was still there. I knew who she was, but I didn't have your phone number. I stayed with her and calmed her until you arrived. I can't believe I still remember it b/c most dreams I don't. But I guess it made me feel so good afterwards and we became friends that I didn't forget it.

FutureMrsFezz · May 2011

Yay for the beach, Bay! That sounds lovely.
