Welcome back, Yankee!

6/9: 90 minutes, treadmill, weights, resistance, abs, stretches

Herm, you'll probably notice my typo posted on June 8. It should have read 6/8, not 6/7.

I'm happy to see you back, Yankee!

Mak, I didn't even notice. What typo? Oh, I see. Gotcha. I'll correct it when I make the next chart.

6/9- treadmill- 90 minutes; weights, floorwork, stretches- 60 minutes; yoga- 20 minutes. Dear heavens, did I really work out this much today? I didn't realize it until I added it up. 170 minutes total. Boy, I bet I will pay tomorrow.

Nope, Dahli, you're out of luck. I bet Hermi will fix it for you, though. She's really nice that way.:-)

RG, you know I would love to have you start posting your times again. :-)

This thread has been phenomenal for me. You guys rocks!

I meant to add earlier that when I did the nature trail today, I did a run/walk. I have always wanted to be a runner and have never stuck with it. That's my goal for this summer. I found a program that helps get you started. You start by running 1 minute and walking 2 minutes and you alternate that for a set time period, say 30 minutes or more. Then you gradually increase your run time and decrease your walk time, week by week.

By the end of summer, I want to be running 3 miles nonstop. And by next spring, I want to be running 6 miles nonstop. There are two 5K runs I want to participate in next year, one in March and one in May. Wish me luck to stick with it!

Good luck with the running, Herm! You must be feeling better, by the looks of your workouts this week. I've tried running a little bit on the treadmill in recent months, but nothing like what you're doing. I mostly walk, but every now and then I run for 2-3 minutes...3 minutes is really pushing my limits. Your way sounds like a better way to go, so I'll be interested to hear how you progress.

I'll definitely let you know how it goes, Mak. I'm going to do the 1 minute run/2 minute walk for this week and then up it. Maybe 90 seconds running, 90 seconds walking next week. Different guides say different things, so I am basically just going to listen to my body and let it tell me what it feels most comfortable with. I said above I have 5K runs I want to do. I erred. One is 5K or about 3 miles and the other is 10K or about 6 miles. That is why I am shooting for 6 miles by the beginning of Spring.

The funny thing is that the Pilates kicked my butt harder than the run/walk did, LOL! Pilates was HARD!!

And yes, I am feeling MUCH better. A friend recommended a book about tension/stress related backaches and I really think mine was tension induced. Even though the back pain started in April, it wouldn't go away and the month of May was atrocious for me. In both my personal life and at work, I had an enormous amount of stress to deal with. I hope I don't have another month like that for a long time. I look back on it and I am still not sure how I made it through relatively unscathed. It was awful. But is over, mostly, and I am better and life is feeling good again! :-)

TY, RG!

Dahli, your TTD reflects the addition from last week.

Here is the chart for this past week--

week 22

We worked out 33.7 hours for a TTD of 818.6 hours.

Mak, our TTDs were very different so I have posted what we have done week by week since the beginning. I have kept track of all times reported, even from people who aren't posting anymore. That may be where our difference came from.

Ok, My workout today....
30 minutes abs and arms.
I plan to do some outdoor work later, and may count that if I break a sweat!

Oh I gotta tell you the stupid thing I did yesterday. I was reading in a Womans magazine how the airbrush spray on tans can be applied in a way to make you look more "cut" so I thought, hmmmm... I could do that with "MY" selftanner. So I put a line of it down the middle of my stomach to make it look indented... Um, NO... it looks like I have a zebra stripe down my stomach, not like I have been hitting the ab work hard! Maybe my new name should be "GEEKgirl"

Thanks for catching that, Hermi. I didn't think to look back to the earlier charts with all the former posters on them. I'm so glad you're back, for more than one reason!

We'll just call you The Streak, RG. Remember that old song? Or am I just showing my age? lol

6/14- Yoga, 35 minutes.

Mak, I talked to "Ed" the head of the PE dept. at my school today and Ed said that the run/walk rotation is a great way to start running and that if I am already doing 90 minutes of that, I'll be reaching my summer goal of running 3 miles in no time flat! I saw that you did that today-- are you going to give it a whirl also? Oh, the guide said to do it 3-4 times a week, so I'm aiming for every other day.
