Hahaha 7:00 min is your relaxed mile? That's cookin along pretty good in my book and I thought I had decent wind. LOL

Haha, I know. WTF, right?!?!

My best time EVER was 20:30 for 3 miles. And that was in boot camp, when I was whittled down to 140lbs.

With a long torso and short limbs, I just wasn't designed for running.

But regardless of what fitness experts or the medical community says, I still believe that Leg Day is excellent cardiovascular exercise.
 
3.5 mi warm-up
12 x 400m @ 68-72, w/ 60 sec rest
2.5 mi cool-down

uneventful but productive. gorgeous day.

Freakin Gazelle. I've noticed you like to run...intense running. Big props because it ain't easy making yourself do those types of workouts. 400m; sprinting around the track 12 times with only a minute rest in between? Rough bro. Beast.
 
Hehe I started this thread and haven't even posted in it in ages. Happy to see it's still going.

I was in such good shape a few months ago, and then I went backpacking and one would THINK that would have gotten me in better shape. But sadly I did nothing but eat cheesburgers and get high and lay around all the time. So I have work to do.

Today I did a shoulder/arm workout with 10 pound dumbells. I did the same workout with 8 pound dumbells 2 days ago and was terribly sore, so that shows how little strength I have. The 10 pound ones were pretty hard, I was barely able to finish the reps.(3 sets of 12 for each exercise) I want to work up to being able to do 100 push ups a day, that's what I was doing before I left on my trip.

I need to get my core in shape somehow too. My core and back are so terribly weak, I can't stand it. I feel like an 80 year old person right now, fitness wise, like if I had to move suddenly Id throw my back out.
 
I woke up at about 1:30pm, ate a load of chocolate and drank a pint of milk, then went on a 12 mile bike ride with no water.. bad plan.

i'm pretty intense about the running. i was very talented in high school, but injuries kept me from competing in college. now that i have some free time, i'm just trying to see how fast i can be. my training is nuts, but my goals are way crazier.

6 mi today.
last one fast.

took it easy. i'm carrying a lot of fatigue that i'd like to deal with in the next few days.
 
45 min spin
55 sculpting class w/heavy weights

Okay I haven't done it YET. Class starts at 930a. This is how I begin every Saturday.
 
morning
--4 miles brisk (6:00-ish)

afternoon
--75 min body-weight exercises and stretching for legs/core

legs feel good, but still definitely recovering.

edit: throw in about seven hours on my feet at work for good measure.

4 mi hard
8 x 100m sprints
1 mi cool-down

really worn out from working sat night and sun morning. still haven't figured out if waiting tables is good extra exercise or unproductive stress.
 
I did pilates this morning
I was very proud of myself.
one for waking up at 8 am
and also for actually going.
I was a tuff workout.
BUT AWESOME!
can't wait to go again :]
or yoga again.
 
DnB danced for about 15-20 minutes. 20 push ups (and no very good ones, god I'm sooo weak!) and 20 reverse leg lifts on each leg.

I desperately need to tone my thighs and ass. Desperately.
