How did YOU work out today?? Yes..YOU!

on a mix of roads and trails:

1.5 mi warm-up
7 mi tempo interval workout
-- .5-1.1 mi @ tempo pace (5:00-5:20/mi)
-- corresponding rest period @ 7:00-8:00/mi
-- repeat for 7 miles
2.5 mi cool-down
8 x 50m stride drills

feel like i can do more, but i'm always wary about upping mileage just because i feel good in a couple of workouts.
 
Well, I spent the last 6 hours walking around and rearranging stuff at a resale shop for community service. It's a very light work out, but a work out none the less.

Hopefully, before it gets dark, I can get in a couple mile jog, otherwise I'll do my Carmen Electra Striptease workout--that is like a SERIOUSLY awesome workout.
 
If you ever get a chance I would recommend it.

The video is just under an hour and includes a warm-up and two "routines" (not a cool-down though, which kinda bugs me but I suppose I can do it myself). I definitely broke a good sweat and was sore the next day.
 
It has to be a great core and leg work-out! For the pole....upper body. I have been thinking about taking a class but I end up spending my money elsewhere.
 
1 mi warm-up
up-hill HIIT session
4 mi moderate

6.5 total . . nice recovery day after a hard 11 yesterday.

edit: ugh. add 8 hours on my feet waiting tables.

Sorry to keep harking, but that seems freaking stressful to the ligaments. Maybe I'm just a wuss though
 
Haven't worked out in about a month and a half. Went to the gym today for the first time since. All I did was 3 sets of 12, of about 6 machines. Also ran for about 10 minutes on the treadmill. I'm about to do 30 pushups & sittups.

If you start today/tomorrow, and in the morning you did 10 pushups and 10 sittups. If you did that everyday before your usual "morning routine". Then again before you go to bed (or get home from work, school, etc.). And everytime you just did ONE more than the day before, in one month you'll be doing 80 pushups and 80 sittups everyday. That's pretty good, for only taking 10 minutes out of your day.
 
bleh. 4 miles before work. had plenty of energy, but no motivation.

and mehm, i've certainly had my fair share of over-use injuries (i've been a runner for 12 years), and there's no real magic bullet. but if i make sure my shoes are in good shape, keep my x-training consistent and increase my mileage gradually i tend to stay healthy. i also have prescription orthotics for my shoes (as a high school athlete - and dumbass - i ended up with five seperate stress fractures in my feet before i was immobilized enough to get an MRI).

if something starts fuckin' up, i dial back mileage, drop my running days, and it tends to work itself out. worst case scenario is a few months of swimming, weight lifting and mountain biking.

i think my body has also adapted pretty well to the task -- i have a very efficient stride, and i imagine starting at a young age helped my joints and connective tissue develop good defenses against everything i throw at them.
 
woo ha!

did a treadmill workout today, since i wanted to go fast. success.

1 mi warm-up
4 x 1 mile w/ 800m jog in between
..mile 1 - 5:00
..mile 2 - 4:52
..mile 3 - 4:42
..mile 4 - 4:36
1 mi cool-down

treadmill paces are a little faster than normal, as you remove air resistance, but i'm still a little surprised that i felt as in-control as i did. might coulda gotten another mile in, but i wasn't trying to go to failure, and wanted to end on a high note.

My boy and I moved two washing machines and two dryers, up and down a flight of stairs. I feel good. My forearms had a nice workout.
 
5x5 squats at 185. It was my second leg workout coming back from a broken foot, so I'm still very lacking in lower body strength. I was supposed to do deadlifts after the squats, but my legs didn't have anything left. Gotta love comebacks!
 
Oh fuck guys!
These memories bring tears to my eyes!

Back in my country I used to go in the mornings and jog along the Balkan mountains, wake up at 8:30am-9am do a few pushups then go running for 15 min around the neighbourhood with beautiful mountains and rivers around me. Stop in the hot summer sun at 10am for an ice cream cone, get home, take off my shirt change in summer clothes and go to the nearest outdoor pool and bar. Live life to the max.

Guys........you would run/jogg along the neighbourhood for 15-20min, the salt and sulfur smells alone would have a health effect on you. There was a fountain in the centre of the town with water not meant for drinking, very high in minerals though. People would pour it over their face and eyes to promote better sight and less wrinkles. Then we had a LOT of spots where the Romans LONG, LONG the fuck ago built thermal spas in the mountains. These are places where people with certain diseases or problems (pains, aches, arthritis, etc) go and immerse themselves in the waters which are extremily warm in any weather, even though they are deep inside mountains and caves. These baths do miracles for people that a typical doctor would say 'morphine' or 'fucked for life' would prove otherwise. Small children aren't allowed to be immersed in those waters for more than 1-2 minutes because the waters contain such a high mineral/vitamin content. Then we have very, very rich mud in minerals and vitamins...some people spend the whole day from head to toe covered in such mud which is said to provide remedies for many illnesses.

I MISS HOME!
I NEED TO GO BACK DESPERATLEY!
