Hi, everyone. Have been in a slump on the posting front and didn't feel like posting much. But thankfully I was pretty regular with my gym workouts. I'll do my best to go back and record my gym times since the last time I posted, which was on 3/21. I will undoubtedly miss some days. Thankfully, most days I've written it into my daytimer. With the exception of this week, I also can't remember which days I went early or stayed late to class, so I'll just give myself the hour for each. 3/23 -- 60 minutes Spinning 3/25 -- 60 minutes Interval Step & Sculpt 3/27 -- 60 minutes Spinning 3/28 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/3 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/4 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/5 -- 60 minutes Interval Step & Sculpt 4/10 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/11 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/18 -- 60 minutes Spinning 4/20 -- 60 minutes weights & stretches 4/23 -- 45 minutes playing soccer 4/24 -- 120 minutes (60 minutes Power Core class, 60 minutes Spinning -- my abs are still sore!) 4/25 -- 75 minutes Spinning plus warmup on bike TF06 -- 2645 minutes (44 hours, 5 minutes) GTTD -- 63,356 minutes

A little note on my progress: We wear heartrate monitors in Spinning, and my heartrate is getting very good -- it no longer spikes way high, and my recovery after the hard sprints or hills is getting very fast. I'm going to start trying to get in at least 1 weight session a week (probably via the Step & Sculpt class) and one or two core classes a week, because while I'm getting very fit in my legs and heart/lungs, I realized I'm getting very little in my upper body. Also, on May 27, my gym is sponsoring a "race day" on the Spinning bikes -- an hour of full-on, race simulation. I'm planning to work up to this and hope to do it. Hope everyone is healthy and well!

Hi Yankee! Thanks for checking in! I hadn't been posted much either for awhile. TVCH was blocked at work and I gave up the internet at home for Lent! Somehow TVCH has become mysteriously unblocked at work. It's very strange. I'm back online at home, too, but not as much. You are doing really well!! You'll have to let us know how the race day goes. As for me, I need to work on my upper body strength as well. I've gotten so into running that I've neglected cross-training activities. I'm serious about training for the half-marathon. There is one in September that I want to do. It's 13 miles and I currently run about 8. I'll have my whole summer vacation to work on it! I'm concerned about the heat, but hopefully my body will adjust to the increased temperatures. Good luck to you!

Nick, when I started running back in January, about 12 minutes was as far as I could go. Don't feel lame! Besides, this isn't a competition! You've posted some killer workouts in here that have really inspired me!

Thanks Hermione! I was sorta kidding anyway...but just 3 months ago...it took about 20 minutes for me to even walk a mile and now I'm running them. I'm not sure if I have a goal, like running a 7 minute mile or anything....but whatever burns calories. Weighed in at 195lbs this morning. Been floating between 194 and 198 for several weeks now...can't seem to get under 194...considering I started out at 243, I'm ok with it. Plus, I'm putting on muscle and toning up. Good luck to you and your Marathon or half marathon...I'm pretty sure that's far more than I'll ever want to do. :D

I didn't work out yesterday either. I went to the park first and played with my niece and nephews. Had such a lovely time. My nephew made the "I Love You" sign at me while I was pushing him on the swing. That always makes my heart melt. Then when it was time for me to go, my niece grabbed my hand and wailed, "But, I NEED you!!" I went to a happy hour too. Didn't do any aerobic drinking though, LOL. Right now I am trying to decide if I should go run or go visit my nephews and niece again.... I think you have inspired me, Yankee. I think I will go run and then visit them tomorrow.

5/02 - 55 minute run, 15 minute walk, total 70 minutes. Frustrating. Some days I feel like I can run forever and others it is a struggle to even make it half my best. Last night was a struggle. Maybe tonight will go better. I'm still a relative beginner, though, and should be patient with myself.... TF06 = 4,170 minutes GTTD - 63,563 minutes
