Sorry that seemed kind of pert from me. I was having a convo with Mom about the status of my shoulder problems.  I just took Aleve and am still in lots of pain.  I am flattered; that is on the faster side :trophy: .  I moved a large heavy St. Joseph statue today at work up high on a ladder and had it been another statue of anything else I think I woulda been hospitalized and the statue smashed to tiny bits.  But there are always more amazing people out there.  My Mom is doing a mmarathon the day of my zombie 5k!  Go Mom!

Started using weights.  hmmph.  4 miles in 35 minutes and 51 seconds this time.  Dodgeball and indoor softball next month.  My shoulders are a disaster.

Worked out yesterday the Hershel Walker routine plus the weight work.  Did 4 miles running ok but not as good as recent awesomeness.  37 minutes and 27 seconds.

My friend and I are now running for 30 minute straight! It was a personal goal for her so I am very glad she made it!

Its also a new mile stone for me as well...longest Ive ever run!

4 mile run yesterday 37 27.  Wieghts and Hershel Walker routine.  Still too hot to go on my run right now.  Prolly later.  Maybe skip that part and do everything else.  The zombie 5k is only Oct 5th!  I feel like I am getting depressed.

My friend and I reached our new best!

You sure beat my time!  (about an hour for me)

Posted

It has taken us 6 months to work up to this!

Everything takes time!

personal best for this year under 35 minutes for 4 mile run!  Zombie 5k on the 5th.  Dodgeball season start on the 3rd.  and we need more females or we might not have a indoor softball league :-(

I did weights and ran today even with a cold.  4 miles in 39 minutes isn't very good for me but I know the cold I have is definitely a factor.

:flex2:  :winner:

Amen on time, and yay CCC for running despite the cold! :)

 

I tried to plank (the exercise, not the fad) and my abs are informing me I overdid it.  Also did a few hundred dumbbell bench press reps.

I have a goal, to be able to run a 5k by next October, (the place where I will be working at does a 5k to raise funds and I would love to be able to run in it.)  I'm trying to figure out a few good routes that are around 5k. It looks like one way to my Church or round trip to the local library.

I'm starting out slowly, right now I am mixing walking and running, 5 minute warm up walk, then twenty minutes of walking/running, then 5 minutes cool down. I figure once I can run for the whole 20 minutes then I will start pushing distance.

Awesome!!! I started out the exact same way. My friend and I decided to train for a 5k back in april and we are almost there! We took it pretty slow but we are enjoying it.

 

We started off with alternating walking and running and we use the app 5k Runner!! It made it super easy and it keeps track of time for you so you dont have to!

 

Also, to find a route that is about 5k (3.2 miles) try going to www.mapmyrun.com. Its basically google maps but you can trace out a path around your home and it will tell you how many miles it is.

CrossCut, maybe it is dorky me, but I have tried that Mapmyroute program before, and it has to be one of the STUPIDEST mapping programs I have even seen. Just tried it again... and had the same if not a WORSE experience than in the past. I have yet to have been able to generate a single route on it.  The map WILL NOT set still, it slips and slides.  I try to get it centered and it double and quadruple counts sections of the route... Basically, in my experience it is unusable.

 

I know roughly what the mileage on the route is (and I walk rather than run, old lady that I am!) and wear a pedometer, but it wold be handy to just be able to share the route.

Got any ideas?
