TriMom217's Group - FULL (Page 2)

I'm definitely a wing-it type as well!  McFuzz just asked me this morning what my exercise was looking like for today and I told him I may go to use the treadmill.  If it's as nice out as it looks I may brave the cold air and go for a real run not a dreadmill run.  We'll see.  I'll have to work on the weekly plan though. 

All right everyone!!! I put down ( on here) that I will be usig the 16 week training plan.  I will also need to set some realistic goals for weightloss in the next day or two. 

My training plan is posted on my blog and I'll update each week, but here it is for next week. Very time consuming.

Day 1: 4 miles, Day 2: 5 miles, Day 3: 4 miles, Day 4: 11 miles Total : 24 miles

hope everyone is having a nice weekend.  I know I am    The massage was awesome but next time I'm gonna book 2 hours instead of one.  I was definitely NOT ready to leave in an hour. 

My training plan is also on the left side of my log, and it starts on the 14th.  This will be my plan for the Mooseman Half, and I suppose I should actually register for the silly thing one of these days! 

So how was everyone's weekend?  Mine was busy, busy, busy.  The skiing was awful, and so was the bus ride up and back.  I'd still do it again tho 

So, what did you do? 

OKAY!! I went for a run on the treadmill and was planning on a bike but the bikes were full in the cardio room.  Decided that I was gonna go home and watch the football game but when I got to the locker room I decided to go ahead and swim. 

It was an awesome swim.  I set a time limit of 15 minutes.  I used to swim 500 yards in 30 minutes but today (after a 25 minute run) I swam 400 yards in 15 minutes and could have gone longer!!!! I felt great!  This was definitely needed to reduce some of the stres taht has been building over the last 2 days.  I feel like I'm starting to get back on track.

How is everyone else doing?  We are a pretty quiet bunch!  McFuzz's group talks ALOT (they even talk to me through inspires).

KLynne - 2007-01-08 8:46 PM I've been getting ready for my father to visit. We just moved into a new home and he's coming to help with fixer-upper projects. (and to give my mom a break ) I also got in my long walk on Sunday (10 miles), next Saturday he'll walk with us, since he's the one who sucked us into the march!

nice job on the walk!  damn, that's a long way to go!

Nice that dad is coming to help.  What kind of stuff are you doing? 

glad that you got a run and a swim in!  As much as I like to run (and can't do as much as I'd like to), swimming just agrees with my body more than anything else.  I find it relaxing and invigorating all at the same time. 

Hope everybody's workouts are going good for them.  I missed a day of workouts so I used my day of rest to make up for it.  I'm trying to keep my head down when I swim to try and get my hips up and my legs from dragging. 

Any ideas if this is the right way to go about it?

I have a couple of ideas for you.  Try swimming with a pull buoy.  It will keep your legs and hips up and give you an idea of where they should be.

To keep your head down, put a tennis ball under your chin and keep it squeezed between your chin and chest.  It's tough to do, but it makes you aware of where your head should be.  It also helps with your breathing since you have to rotate the whole body and not just your head.

It's hilarious to watch the kids in my classes do that drill! 

ok ladies, just in case you missed it, I am laid up with a grossly swollen knee after have the 3rd Synvisc injection.  Can't even stand on it and had to resort to dragging out the crutches.  My butt has become one with the couch 

So, I need BT activity to keep me from going stir crazy!  I hope your up for that!  Looking forward to hearing from y'all   

so where is everyone?  Come out and play!

I'm here!!  I missed my workout yesterday because I got sidetracked with putting the house in order before the next semester starts.  Today I'm scheduled for a run and its likely to be on the dreadmill since it's raining pretty steadily outside.

Haven't decided if I'm going to try and make up part of my workout from yesterday or not.

Hey!  How ya holdin up? 

Today my dad, husband and I walked, was supposed to be 11 miles and worked out to be 9.5, pretty bummed about that...oh well, I'll just keep walkin.  Normally I would take tomorrow off, but maybe I'll get out and do a short walk...Hmmm  I really just want o be ready for the march.

well, at least there is football to keep me company today and tomorrow.  But tomorrow I am going to get in the pool even if it kills me.

KLynne, 9 and a half miles is nothing to sneeze at!  Give yourself plenty of credit for that! 

The  training plan I'm on is pretty basic (read as no previous activity) so i try to at least do what it suggests.   Sometimes I even do a little more.  I don't want to miss to many days of workouts because then I lose my motivation to continue on.  It only takes one or twon days of missed workouts for my discipline/motivation to start to disappear.

yep, once that mojo heads out the door it's tough to get it back.  Doing a little something every day is better than doing nothing if you ask me 

That's why I go to the gym even if I don't think I have time!  I have to really force myself once school gets started.  I'll have 19 hours this semester and projects more than I will be able to count.  There will always be some reason why I "can't" go workout.  It's usually those times when I really need to.  You guys may have to be  my kick in the pants.

.....brushes off the kicking shoe......   

I'm goin' I'm goin'

sorry I haven't stopped by many blogs lately.  I'm feeling achy, chills, and feverish and gotta go to work anyhow    I'm sure Annoying Coworker Guy will have some old school remedy guaranteed to make me feel better  (she said in the sarcasm font)

happy tuesday y'all
