Good luck to your son with his eyes. I hope it’s not severe damage. Maybe he’ll pay more attention to protection the next time.
You sprint for 20 minutes????? Did you mean seconds? When I was training for the 5K, I ran all out for 2 minutes and that was a stretch!
Wow! That was wrong of me, I meant 20 meters! Sorry about that Joan.
Day 349 and 350
I made yesterday a rest day with all the excitement that was going on. Today, after work, I did a VERY short track workout...30 minutes of intervals and then sprinted 10 110 meter intervals. I also had back and biceps with Mike who is having surgery next Tuesday. He is working everyone extra hard so that we will be sore while he is out for 2 weeks. Little does he know that I will still be bugging him by phone while he is laid up.
So now, I need to pack my lunch and get ready for another day!
I’ve done a little catching up on your thread, Lisa, sounds like you’ve been doing some incredible workouts. You’re quite the athlete - and isn’t that a great title! That was one of my big “clicks” early on in this process - letting yourself embrace the inner athlete. Put your application in - you’re an athlete whether you finish first or 500th - if you’re sweating, you’re in the club. Working out and staying consistent helps a lot with the blues, but it’s not a cure-all. I’m going through the same thing and I just keep telling myself it would be a lot worse if I wasn’t getting on the treadmill most every day. Keep going girl, and burn that image of Chad with pom poms and a short skirt (whoops, I added that - sorry Chad) in your head.
You are absolutely right about it not mattering where I finish in this race. I am going to do it! I am just grateful that I can even run having just had surgery in February.
Just got home from work and am exhausted. I cooked dinner and am determined to go do a great leg workout. I’ll keep you posted!
Wow! I can’t believe it has been a week! Carter is ok. He will not be able to wear contacts for a few months and will need to take some time off from hockey. I have been doing my usual workouts. My trainer had surgery on tuesday and will be out for 2 weeks. It was kind of sad to train without him this week.
We are getting ready for out of town guests next week. Carter graduates on Thursday. I reaaly need to do a better job of posting, don’t I?
As long as you’re doing a good job of working out, the posts can wait!
Yes, it is harder without the trainer. I missed last week because we were gone and am looking forward to Monday’s session but then I’ll miss the next week because I’ll be gone again.
I just kicked my own butt in the gym. It was a leg workout of all my favorites...leg press, V-Squats (250 lbs for 20 reps, 3 sets!), hip ab and adduction, leg curls and extensions, ployometrics and a little bit of abs (jack knives and roll outs on a stability ball). At the end I was wonderfully and disgustingly sweaty and found it very easy to stretch. Now its back to work getting ready for Carter’s graduation!
The days are just flying by! I took rest days on Saturday and Sunday and was in the gym at 5:45 this morning doing back and biceps and a 30 minute cardio session. I am doing a lot more free weights and supersetting everything so that I can get done and out the door to get to work in time. Because of the graduation and out of town guests, I won’t be able to hit the track until Sunday, but I do want to get basic cardio and weights in this week.
I can also feel my weight “adjusting” a little. Hoping to get past this little plateau so that I can go ahead and hit my goal!
The only way I can make it to the gym this week is to get up at 4:45 am and go before work. Mike the trainer is still recuperating from surgery, so early morning really is best. I am fine once I get there, but it is hard to get out of bed!!!
I did chest shoulders and triceps this morning and tried to do all with free weights in supersets. I am REALLY sore right now! It feels great! I followed it all up with 30 minutes on the elliptical and came to work with lots of energy. It s great once I get here!
