My co-worker and I have been promising to walk at lunch together for a few weeks now - we finally did it! We walked 3rd street promenade, stopped in two stores and then came back. It wasn’t fast, but it was moving a lot farther than me having lunch at my desk!

Okay, it wasn’t fast, and I’m hurting a little (but not terribly and that’s what the doctor gave me pills for, right?), but it was totally worth it to do my interval training and sweat a lot.
I have a 10K coming up on August 2nd, and the 1/2 marathon on August 31st, so it is time to get my body ready (slowly, but steadily) to accomplish my goals. The doctor wasn’t sure I should be running at this point, but I explained to him how important it was and he’ll be monitoring me, so as long as I don’t do anything stupid…
BTW - if anyone wants to join my team for the Underwear Affair (Los Angeles, CA, August 2nd - 6pm - 10K run, 5K walk) and raise $$ for cancers that are “below the belt” you are more than welcome!!!

It’s been about a month since I hurt my back and a little over a week since I was put on pain pills and told to reduce my training, so I “warmed-up” today by walking to lunch. I also tagged a co-worker and we are going to start walking at least once a week, which will help to warm me up for my evening run/walks.

After my dissapointing running experience at the gym, I didn’t call it quits - nope, I hopped on my favorite bike (recumbent) and pedaled like mad. For 30 min. For 17.4 miles. Me luv bike.

So, I know I was a bit naive to think that I could get a treadmill on a Monday night at Bally Total Fitness. But I just figured I would wait my turn and there would eventually be one, which is what happened. The thing that kinda irked me was that some guy preempted the line when it came to my turn, and when I gently said “Hi, we’ve all been waiting back here for a while,” his response was to look at me rudely and say “Oh, yeah? You have? Really?” Luckily, I am my father’s daughter and I pulled myself up to my full height of 5′ 4″ (which reached him in the pectoral area) looked him square in the eye and said, “yeah.” I think he figured out that my center of gravity is lower than his, because he moved away and relinquished the treadmill.
Of course, he moved to the side and proceeded to stare me down for all 20 minutes I was there - the bad news being that it threw me off so much and I had a really crappy run (muscle cramps, sub-standard treadmill). I also found out that there is a 30 min limit on the cardio machines @ Bally. Whoops. I will need to go somewhere else for my long runs, I guess.
Never fear, dear reader - I got on a bike and pedaled away for 30 min (separate post - I love me the chart colors) and got a total of 50 min in.

I did my first (in a LONG TIME) hills workout on the recumbent bike today - level 5 - pushed, pushed, pushed. Was sweating, breathing heavy and my butt cramped in the last 3rd. But, boy, did it feel good!!!

I actually convinced my hubby to go the the gym with me for the third time this week (yahoo!) and I:
- ran
- did a little strength training
- biked
Biking and strength training stats posted separately (I like the pretty charts).
It was my first workout using my brand new iPod Nano (!!!!!! - thank you for those who gave us Macy’s gift certificates through the years - we finally spent them!) and it was awesome. Especially listening to the Ocean Mix of “All this for a King” by Dave Crowder on repeat during bike workout.
Noteable - only ran one mile, but RAN most of it. During the cool down (not included in pace above), I was walking at 4.0 and 3.5 - who cools down going that fast? I guess, me…

That’s right - worked out on the bike as a “cool down” following my 4 miles on foot. I have been told that the biking to walking ratio is 3:1 so I’m feeling like I got past my 5 mile goal today.
Can I get a wOOt!

How’s about that folks - I WALKED 2 miles to the gym and then worked out more - how’s that for getting your groove on? Even got the hubby to join me at the gym for the second time this week - yah-hoo!
I’ll add my cycling separately so it will show up in the charts.
