WB, YANKEE! I was surprisingly "unsore" in my legs after my 22 miles. My biceps, however, were killing me because I carried a case of water about a half mile! I haven't worked out all week. Things just kept coming up. It ended up being one of those wacky weeks. And tonight TNT is coming for dinner. So tomorrow, I am definitely getting my butt to the trail for a run.

Abby: When I first started using my treadmill 3 months ago, I could do about 2 miles in 40 minutes. Then I worked my way up and can jog a mile, but have to walk the rest...I haven't tried to see how many miles I can get in in an hour, but I bet I could get 4 in if I wanted to. I haven't even tried yet to do 5 at one time....much less jog it. Shows you how out of shape I was when I started. Thanks, Yankee...Zoe is doing fine. She has to be on baby food for one more week and then she can start back on the softer foods. Her mouth looks really good considering all that has went on. and what with Zoe's stuff going on and redecorating the house, I've found little time to work out. I did manage to squeeze in a few workouts this week: 5/16: Cardio: 30 minutes; Treadmill: 30 minutes 5/18 - Cardio: 60 minutes; Treadmill: 30 minutes 5/19 - Cardio: 40 minutes; Treadmill: 50 minutes TTD/TF06 = 5,480 minutes GTTD = 66,360 minutes

Abby, since my walking is just that, getting from one place to another (I park way at one end of a large lot and across and back, on purpose) I had no idea about mileage, but I do want to support your efforts! Start where you feel comfortable and build on that and don't let that doctor overwhelm you! We have a treadmill as part of our circuit but we just go for 6 minutes. I'm not fast and may never be due to my knees, but I do go at 12% gradient (the max) and try to gradually increase my speed. I try to loop around the circuit and get in two 6 minutes sessions, plus the 3 minutes on the elliptical (or two if I can swing it) and we also do 6 minutes on a bike. Anyway, you have a cheering section here!

Well, that was a bust. I got a cramp I couldn't shake. I'll just emulate Scarlet O'Hara, shrug, and say "Tomorrow is another day." 5/20 - run/walk 40 minutes. TF06 = 5,200 minutes GTTD = 66,480 minutes

Abby, I do the treadmill but i do a fast walk. I walk at fast pace (4.3 mph) for 60 minutes At that rate I burn 380 calories in the hour.

That is very fast, Maris. Wow! The cramp turned out to be a pulled muscle. I have pulled a pec muscle. I do not know how I did that, but it hurts when I breathe deeply. I tried running last night and made it about 2 1/2 miles before I just couldn't get my breathing right anymore because I would get stabbing pains whenever I tried to breathe deeply. I had to walk. I think I aggravated the muscle. It feels worse this morning than it did yesterday. Crap. Anyone know what I can do for a pulled pec muscle??? A friend of mine said, "aspirin," but I took some before I ran and it didn't help. 5/23 - run/walk 45 minutes. TF06 = 5,245 minutes GTTD = 66,835 minutes

Hi, everyone. Sorry to hear about your pulled muscle, Hermione. Not sure what you can do other than rest it. (?) 5/16 -- 60 minutes (Spinning) 5/19 -- 60 minutes (Spinning) 5/23 -- 60 minutes (Spinning) TF06 - 3,195 minutes (53 hours 15 mins) GTTD - 67,015 minutes My "race day ride" at Spinning is Saturday. You can't sign up until 24 hours before, so I hope to make it in the class (there are only like 14 bikes so it's limited). I hope to get in, and hope to last. It's basically 60 minutes of full-out, heartrate at 90%, no stopping. Similar to a race.

In about an hour I leave for my "Race Day Ride." I didn't work out on Thurs/Fri to prepare (even though i wanted to). Currently eating a wheat bagel with scrambled egg and tomato and drinking water... LOL. Hopefully I'll still be alive afterwards and can post here!

Yay Yankee! You're doing great! Tonight I start seriously training for a half-marathon. I found this schedule online that I am going to try... HALF MARATHON TRAINING. I'm pretty excited. And it is going to make me focus more on strength training and flexibility, which I have been neglecting.

I've seriously been lacking on my workouts. Good thing is, I haven't put on any weight. I plan on getting back in the swing of things Friday.

that's OK, Nick. Sometimes our bodies or minds need a little break. It's how you recover eventually that matters!
