Thurs, 6/2: I worked out today--did you?

[MissMillie]

Hi folks!

Once again I did my 2 mile jog and my upper body stint in the weight room.

How 'bout you?

[Rainbowreflect]

1. Well kinda.

I was so sore today I just walked & stretched.
Hey at least I got up & did something, right???

[MissMillie]

2. that counts

walking and stretching are good exercises.

[Rainbowreflect]

3. But it is not what I planned on doing today.

I guess I will just have to work harder tomorrow.

4. Yes!

Another personal best for the mile....I'm getting back into the swing of things now....

5. building speed

any suggestions?

I'm slower than molasses running uphill in January.

(I know that losing weight will make me quicker, but my weight loss has slowed to a halt.)

6. My son was a runner

both Track and Cross Country. His formula for building speed was to alternate workouts so that you would work on endurance for three or four days a week and speed workouts one or two days a week. Speed workouts were usually progressive 200's where you started out at (say) 32 second runs and worked it down to 26 or 27 or so... and then work it back up ...generally 5-6 reps of the distance....

In other words do a shorter distance at a higher and higher speed. Warning, you will get sore from this so the endurance workouts should be taken much slower and under less stress.

7. Today I was feeling kickass.....

Did the entire Body Max vid....plus, I got up in time to exercise *and* make it into work on time and not meekly meander into the office 5-10 minutes late like I usually do.

And I brought my bike gear and plan to ride this evening when I get off work.
