8/23- a.m. yoga- 15 minutes; p.m. yoga- 20 minutes; taebo exercises- 30 minutes; total- 65 minutes.

Autumn, I just started running in mid-June. My goal is a 10K (about 6 miles) in March. After a fabulous start, in which I got up to over 2 miles in less than a month, I stalled big time. I have mild asthma and my asthma started acting up in late June/ early August. I was having trouble even making it a mile because I couldn't breathe. Then 2 weeks ago I tore my calf muscle! Ye gads! My calf is better and I will probably try running sometime this week.

My doctor prescribed me a prescription strength inhaler and I am anxious to see if that helps the asthma because I really want to reach 3 miles by the last day of summer. I am stubborn as a coot when I set my mind to something, and I think I will get there (knock on wood). And when/if I do, I KNOW the thanks will go to my buddies in this thread. :-)

Wow Hermione! Check you out: all that AND taebo! Yikes, I can tell I'll have my work cut out for me, which is good because I seem to be the type who needs it.

Is the 10k a particular marathon or just a goal you set for yourself?

OK, I didn't know how badly one week off would wreck me. Can I blame you all for it? You didn't warn me how hard it was to start up again! LOL!

8/23 and 8/24 back at it, Pilates, Core ball, free weights.

Will keep to my hour and 15 mins a day at least until Mystic!

Total: 75 min

Secretsmile, It is VERY hard to start back up again! Glad to see you did it!

Autumn, there is a particular 10K run that I want to do. It is called the Monement Avenue 10K and is held annually in my area.

Secret, don't EVER take 2 weeks off. You lose a lot of your fitness/stamina in 2 weeks. Good for you for getting back on track so fast!

8/24 - walked - 60 minutes

Ugh, not the best start I wanted but at least its something, especially since I'm not at happiest tonight for some reason. But then 'funks' are usually a good time to get up and move.

Walking and exercising for an hour every morning, however, it is being done in a pool, because I have arthritis beneath my kneecaps and the doctor has forbidden me to use walking as an exercise any longer unless it is in a pool. I have also lost 30 pounds since the beginning of June. Counting calories with an eye to carbs and fats but not tied to the low carb concept. Put on a pair of pants this morning two sizes smaller. Put a big smile on my face.

CONGRATULATIONS ALLIETEX on your accomplishments. Walking in a pool is fantastic exercise. I often do it too.

CONGRATULATIONS AUTUMN for your accomplishment this morning!

Yay Allietex! Good for you! Do you want to start posting in here regularly and I'll add you to the chart? Secretsmile pops in once in awhile just to confirm she is sticking with her schedule. You could do the same.

I should not have made such lofty exercise goals until NEXT week. This is a 4-day schedule and I have to work 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. I am wiped and highly doubt I will work out tonight!!

And the chart, I know, I know.... I need to get that done. I am a PROCRASTINATOR!!

Hermione:I'm sure it was the Olympic spirit that inspired your lofty goals!

And there's nothing wrong with adjusting your schedule - it will probably be good to give your calf a rest anyway.

Well either that or perhaps you were temporarily possessed by the spirit of Kathy Smith :-) !

Sorry, I'm in a chatty mood and the TAR area just isn't enough. Guess I need to find another thread in which to be obnoxious.

Oh haha.

I should laugh...they're both probably relaxing in gorgeous, multi-million dollar paradises and I'm stuck at a desk under a fluorescent light. I want to be a health & fitness guru too!
