8.29.11 Happy Monday!

I did crapola today in terms of workouts, but spent time with my old parents, hung out with a superpiglet my sister thinks I might marry (but he smokes--dealbreaker--so, so, so sad), and bought SIXTEEN BOXES OF POP TARTS

I might try for an hour's stationary later.

after sixteen boxes of pop tarts you better do more than an hour...

I did an hour spin class this morning and a 4.1 mile run around the lake afterwards.  (no pop tarts)

Last night:  6 miles:  first 3 1/2, running steady, next mile, run some, walk a little, Galloway style, last 1 1/2 mile, walk.  Total "running", 4.5 miles; total distance covered, 6 miles.  My asthma got me at about mile 4.  Really p!$$es me off too!  I've been going to doctors, getting tested and treated for about 2 years, and I'm not all that much further ahead than I was 2 years ago! 

This morning:  Stretching and ST. 

Tonight:  God willing, short run.

I just saw a physical therapist (a runner!) for my (right) rotator cuff injury.  A month of PT; no swimming, pushups, planks, cycling or presses.  For ST, only curls, core and lower.  For cardio, only running.  I guess this is a chance to "get my running s**t together".

First run after a few weeks off.  Went 5.9 miles in 1:09:50.  I was still feeling good about 3 hours later so I went for a bike ride.  11 miles in 53 minutes. 

8 laps plus 2 sets of stairs for one mile total in 21:38

I did lots of hard running it was very tiring, the stairs was relaxing and cold because of the ice rink.

7 mile run for me this morning.  My longest run to date   Was supposed to be yesterday, but Hurricane Irene had other plans for me (REST)!  My 2nd workout later today will be picking up the gazillion branches lying around my yard.

Sorry for double post, BT website is acting wacky for me!

Had planned on doing a short run but when i went to drop my daughter off at summer camp they had no power and were closed , Thanks Irene, so i played hide and seek and watched Shark boy and Lava girl....does that count as a workout ???  will try again tonite when wife gets home from work !!!

I am on stress overload today. I slept maybe 3 hours last night, taught class all morning, "strategic planning task force" meeting from 5 - 8 p.m. (with advising student newspaper thrown in between 6 and 7 p.m.) Oh, and I'm giving the chapel talk Wednesday morning, that I have very little concrete done on. I am about ready to blow up.

And it's only Monday . . .

Swam 600m at lunch. I'm hoping to get a run in this afternoon, but I'll have to skip out of work early to do it. I think I can make the math work out since I'll be here for three hours this evening. (I sure hope we get some dinner!)

Happy Monday, indeed.

Glad to hear from you Mattie -- you had a great workout.
