The daily excercise report thread!!

Supposed to be my day off but did Energy and Red Hot Core anyway. Didn't need a water break either. Turning into pure evil one day at a time :-)

Gonna get back on it Monday.

[tinkerbell]

12 miles today. Run/walk - 5:00/2:30, 3:05:36. Slower than I would have liked, but a good run anyway.

We have both been staying active, especially now when the weather and beautiful biking trails in MN practically beg us to come out and enjoy them. I haven't posted every ride or trip to the gym, but do want to share this.

In the fifteen or so years that we have biked together, I have, and ride, several bikes, including one we bought for Mrs Ho Ho a few years ago. She still prefers her almost-ancient Big Red Raleigh SC-230 mountain bike, much-modified over the years, evolving into a good trail bike for her. She has had the same speed/odometer the whole time. This past weekend, she turned 3,000 miles on it. Much of this is in the last five years when she ran 300 -400 miles a year.

I have biked perhaps a bit more because I sometimes bike alone. I don't log my mileage that carefully, have individual speedometers on the various bikes, and have replaced several. But I have probably ridden no more than 3,500 miles in the same period.

At age 54, she is a tower of strength and stamina, a demon to keep up with on the trail and, with the loss of nearly 40 lb., is probably still shy of her eventual peak.

Your congratulations would be gratefully accepted.

(Sigh!) I only wish I could introduce her to you more fully. She is quite the lady. We are approaching our 22nd anniversary; I have known her over 31 years, and I find out more about her every day (all to the good.)

Friends -

We don't post to this thread that often, but we have been quite active on the bike trail this spring, and even through this miserable summer. We haven't done any long rides yet (30+ - 75 miles) but have logged quite a few in the 15 to 30 mile range and they add up after a while. Today, Mrs Ho Ho checked to see how many miles since she turned 3,000. It was a bit over 500 miles. I ride several bikes and am not that consistent about logging miles, but the totals come close to 600 (I sometimes ride by myself. Mrs Ho Ho never rides unless we are together.)

I have been having quite a bit of back and hip pain which cut into my riding and exercise. The cause is still unknown but does seem to be receding to a degree. I still hope to make that 75 mile ride before I turn 75 (October). I'll certainly shout it to the treetops when and if I do.

An hour of yoga. The boy was telling me about getting up early to get his brother off to a wrestling tournament and then a session of Bikram yoga. I was inspired.

[Jon Blaze]

First time hiking. It was a flat top that was about 3500 ft up. I will strength train later.

[LoveBHMS]

10K on the treadmill at a 2% incline.

[tinkerbell]

3.2 miles on Friday and then 6 miles today. Today was supposed to be 14, but my Achilles was bothering me, so I stopped after 6 miles.

[largenlovely]

Yesterday I did 15 mins on the treadmill and 10 mins on the Elliptical.

I've suddenly developed exercise induced asthma and am having problems easily pulling muscles. So as soon as I notice an issue, I stop. So 25 mins yesterday was the best I could do. I read that the thyroid can cause both of these problems so I'm gonna talk to the doc about it.

Going to the gym again and will probably do the same amount as yesterday.

[largenlovely]

Well, I wound up with 15 minutes on the treadmill and 7.5 on the Elliptical ...I guess it was at least something.

[nettie]

After three days of riding trails last weekend, I fell back in love with cycling so bought myself a bike today! Already have plans with friends to do some riding over the next few weekends.

I took a yoga class tonight. My roommate spent most of it threatening to fart in my face during Downward Facing Dog. I think that's what I get for feeding her bad Mexican food

Yesterday and today, a lot of heavy garden work preparing for early fall planting.
