Thanks Benzgirl- I feel better now. I napped this afternoon too and was too tired to go work out once I woke up.

It's all good- we'll make up for it tomorrow!

60 laps today- a new personal record for a single swim routine, and most of it sprint work. Came home and after some beef fajitas and about a one pound piece of baked salmon I took a long nap. Feeling good now, but still hungry...

Played golf, without a golf cart. 18 holes baby.

Carrying the bag and walking counts as exercise even more so since we can't drink on the course :(

45 minutes of racquetball followed by a 45 minute full body workout.

Yoga in the morning and Body Combat in the afternoon. Yup, in spite of my neck injury.

We did a ton of core training which I know I'm gonna feel tomorrow then I ran. I think I ran about 2.5 miles. 6 miles coming up this Saturday! Oof!

EE-BO 09-12-2008 08:56 PM

50 laps of short distance work including some killer butterfly and backstroke. I am feeling seriously sore tonight!

LucyKKG 09-13-2008 01:17 PM

I ran 6 miles this morning! Now I'm hanging out in my PJs til I need to get ready for work. Yeahhh!

I'm supposed to run a half marathon tomorrow but it's supposed to be close to 100 degrees and humid in the DC area :( I likely won't end up running since I have a history of fainting in heat.

That pretty much describes what the weather is like everyday here. I have to say it has helped with my endurance, though I doubt I could run a half marathon in the heat/humidity.

Will be running 5 mile loop tonight.

I did two hours of ballroom dancing. :)

I'm a delicate flower (ok, a wuss) who moves to the treadmill anytime it gets over 75 degrees. I ran a 5k under similar conditions in June and a) it took me nearly 27 minutes and b) I'm not sure I could have kept going for 10 more miles.

Well, thanks to Ike I am not running the Lewis & Clark half marathon right now. :mad: 75 minutes after I left my house I was still in a line of hundreds of cars trying to get to the start. Once the start time came and went, I pulled out of line and came home. It took me less than 30 minutes to get home, even considering how slow I was driving!

Oh well. Who wants to run 13.1 miles while getting 3+ inches of rain dropped on you with the risk of flash flooding, right? :rolleyes:

EE-BO 09-14-2008 08:09 PM

Sorry bout that pbear- it is really odd to imagine a hurricane affecting St. Louis!

52 laps today- 50 of them non-stop at a good fast pace followed by a 100m butterfly set.

To the other swimmers- what do you do when you swallow air on long distance swims. Today my stomach swelled until I was very uncomfortable and it is only now- an hour later- that I am finally burping and getting back to normal. There has to be a way to deal with this right after a swim.

Well, I did it -- but it was pretty dang miserable. Record heat and high humidity. Yuck.
