RE: Re: Woo! Got my groove on today!

[Guest guest]

Oh good to know! My hips and knees are a little cranky today. We did

running and quad work today in aerobics so my legs were not happy with

me (especially after the 4.5 mile bike ride this morning). However I

think it was good for me to do some running to work out the kinks and

get the blood flowing.

I think my next goal is to do 100 days of running, straight. That won't

mean long distances every day. Just at least half a mile per day.

If you can't find that, there are some really good programs at

www.beginnertriathlete.com. There is a couch potato to sprint training

program that looks really good.

One thing I do is I make a calendar for the month with my workouts on

it. I know that seems a little crazy, but it helps me to see what's

coming up in case I know I can't make a day. It doesn't mean I'm

religious about it. For example, today was running but as I ran almost 6

miles yesterday I swapped for tomorrow so I'll run tomorrow and I biked

to and from work today. Since it's on my computer I can reprint it when

I lose it...which I do often.

Here's my may Workout calendar:

Well I'm thinking with the 100 day challenge I can just set a minimum of

1/2 mile so that I'm not overdoing it. I read in Runner's World about a

guy who has run every day for the last...what was it? 25 years? Wow! I

thought that sounded cool, so maybe I'll start in a few weeks on the 100

day.
