Sweat365 - Move more - every day!
Got in some additional cardio. The stair climber is tough! I haven’t done it in a while.
Workout:
It feels good to be running again! I’m still taking it slow. I finished up the work out with 30 minutes on the Elliptical Trainer.
Workout:
I did the elliptical trainer and felt pretty good. I went home and slept 8 hours. I still have a level of tiredness. I’m trying to listen to my body and not worry that my weight has popped up about 3 pounds. I guess it needed too. I was extra thin for the marathon and now my body is trying to get back to normal. 
Workout:
I went to the gym this morning with my daughter Natasha. We are 2 for 2 with our work outs. It’s kind of fun. Since I am on my taper for Boston, I’ve been spending time working out with her.
Workout:
After my swim, I got on the bike. The seat was so big and uncomfortable, so I only spent 15 minutes. there. I tried the new Cybex ARC Trainer and logged in 20 minutes there. I like this peice of equipment because your feet stay fairly stable as your legs move in a circular pattern. I was able to focus on keeping my core engaged, which was nice. I hopped on the rowing machine for the last 5 minutes.
Workout:
Did some spinning in the rec room with my trusty spinning bike. Rode for an hour.
I met Donna and Michelle for lunch at the Cactus in Madison Park. I got there early and secured a great table outdoors. It was a perfect day. We have been trying to get together for about 6 weeks now. Finally, we were able to schedule our pedicures at Frenchy’s, If you ever want a casual, comfortable atmosphere to hang out with your girlfriends, Frenchy’s is the place. This is the second time I’ve gone and I think I need to go back at least once a quarter.
I soaked in hot water, had my feet scrubbed and exfolliated, then dipped in parafin wax. The hot wax feels really good! One of the best things about getting a pedicure is the calf massage. Make a note runners. Guys are doing it too. They usually skip the polish, although I did see a guy with a french pedicure in yoga class last week. He was the exception!
I got home and had to do a bunch of errands, which took all day. I dropped my daughter and 2 of her friends off at the movies. I had some time, so I decided to go for work out number two.
I did the EFX and Treadclimber for an hour and then lifted weights. I did my PT exercises. Hopefully, I made up for the lunch I had at Cactus and the junk I have been eating lately. For some reason, I haven’t been able to resist the kids pizza lately. It’s time to get back on track.
Workout:
Easy work out on EFX.

Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a personal trainer and running coach in 2001. I continued to train and came within 4 minutes of my goal in 2003, when I ran 3:49. I was seriously hoping to qualify in 2004, but it didn’t happen. I had flare ups of plantar fasciitis off and on since I began running. In 2006 I ran 5 half marathons. Apparently this was too much for my body to handle. My plantar fasciitis became acute. I had to take time off to heal. (more...)
