i was runnin'

I was at the track Sun, Mon and Tues! Even in the rain I was out there runnin. The track was mighty lonely on Monday... I was the ONLY one poundin the pavement for most of the time. A couple people came out did one lap and left. It is raining again today so we will see if I get out there again today. I hurt my left thigh really badly I am not sure what I did but I ripped some sorta muscle. My thigh hurts when I bend my knee. Hopefully my leg gets over that because I dont plan on slowing down I am at 465 miles and the end of the year is approaching rapidly.

a bit

3 miles Wednesday
5 miles Thursday

I have also been playing kickball with my students everyday this week for 45 minutes.

round and around

Over the past week I have walked around MANY places!

Monday-the track I believe I made TK do 5 miles with me
Tuesday-school
Wednesday-Hollywood Blvd
Thursday-City Walk
Friday- Disneyland
Saturday- The Getty
Monday (today)- Played in the Staff vs. Students volleyball game for 2 hours

The rest of this week I should be back to my regular routine at the track (fingers crossed).

Update: I am at 441 miles for the year I need a minimum of 59 more this year which breaks down to just over 2.5 miles a day. I know I can pull this off if I put my mind to it. I am becoming more sceptical about the bike miles though.

milage and thoughts

Sat/Sun 2 miles

Mon 4 miles-- as of todays miles I have matched the numbers of miles I completed in total last year.

Tuesday: 3 miles, 500 meters rowing, 200 stairs up and 200 stairs down, 2 bike miles

Wednesday 5 miles

I have been trying to be consistant with jogging, a very slow jog which would probably be normal walking pace for Amy or Paul but for me it is jogging on every 2nd and 4th lap. For the past week I have done this anytime I was doing miles on my own. It sucks that I am completely winded after just .25 miles, I know that it is a process but I can remember a time when I could run a mile without stopping and in my mind I can still do that so when my physical body wont comply it frustrates me.

Team Sports

I miss playing softball. I wish I felt confident enough to find a local co-ed league to join, I just don't want to do it by myself.

Phil Fabarez

High- Being able to take my mom to the Dr. Phil show and auctually getting to shake his hand and talk for a few minutes.

Low- Hearing about Dave Fabarez having a stroke.

long weekend

most of my exercise involved pushing my mom in a wheelchair around different malls.

yesterday i did 5 miles jogging the 2nd and 4th laps. 2 bike miles and lifted weights. i felt really good but i had to walk on the last mile because my right calf started tightening up and i couldnt jog because my muscle wouldnt extend. it is still a lil sore today... need to stretch it more.

i have 50 days till the end of the year which means i need to average 2.1 miles every day till the 1st. biking i need to average 1.9 miles per day. i am certain that i will achieve my track miles. the biking may be a bit harder, unless i drag my bike to SD with me over christmas break.

i am already starting to think of new goals i would like to accomplish for next year. i think i may add in the -ups pull, push and sit.

lonely

The track has been lonely and DARK the last 3 days.

4 miles completed on Monday

biked 2 miles and Wii fitted on Tuesday

4 miles, 3 bike miles, 30 min batting practice, 30 min throwing, sit-ups/push-ups and fit test on Wii TODAY

I rode my bike a mile to the park again did some batting practice and catch for an hour then rode back home dropped off the bike and my softball bag. Grabbed my ipod and headed out to hit the pavement for 6 miles.

I am taking a break to watch Greys then I will do some boxing, step aerobics, strength training and yoga. Followed by a good LONG stretch.

park-it

i really enjoyed the park yesterday so i decided to ride my bike over today along with my softball stuff attached to my back. i have a "hit-away" which is a contraption you attach to a pole and it helps you time your swings. then i played "catch" with myself on the handball courts. then i headed back to the apt. to get some water and play with the little one.

part 2 of my day i met up with jeri and amy at the track. i did 4.5 miles with them and then headed up to the fitness center for some weights and the stationary bikes. i headed home had dinner and relaxed a bit.

finally i did 50 situps and 25 pushups and played boxing, step aerobics, and strength training on the wii fit.

took a shower and now i am going to stretch and head to bed

gosh i hope i can get up for work in the morning

doah

I know I know... I said I would be better at posting on here and I havent been.

Update: I can still make my goal of 500 miles this year if I do a minimum of 2.3 miles per day between now and December 31st. I am glad I still have the possiblilty of completing this goal. I still need 100 more bike miles as well. As of right now I am trying to beat my milage from last year which was at just over 400. I am currently at 353 for this year.

I have slacked some this year but it seems that the time period of my slacking was a much shorter time from when I wasnt working out to when I started again. In my eyes that is a positive.

Anyway, I have been trying to meet up with Jeri, Amy and Ruth at the track as much as possible. It has been an adjustment with the move but I am back in the groove of things.

Again I promise to try and be more diligent about posting on here. I think it is helpful for me to not only get my thoughts out, but have a semi journal that when I look back on it in a few years will show the progress that I have made. Also it is encouraging to have people comment on my progress as well.

today i decided to explore the new neighborhood a bit and took to the streets of Norwalk. i headed towards some signs i had seen for a park. it did not take long to find the park so i checked it out and continued walking on. i completed 5 miles and i stopped at the basketball court on my way back to the apt. and did some suicides (old school) then headed on home to cook dinner for the boy sleeping on my couch and myself.

btw yesterday i made an attempt at a pull-up i honestly think it has been a good 15 years since i have been asked to do a pull up. i also tried a chin-up which i had more success with

not much

used the wii fit for an hour today and perspired mucho doing it. didnt get around to anything else because paul and i were out running errands getting things we need for our trip in a few days.

in the evening we went to the ball game which required going up a couple flights of stairs and some leisurely walking.

today was thrown off a bit (read my other blog to find out why).

i was late meeting up with Jeri so I only completed 3mi walking, then i played wii and boy was Amy (of Amy and Ryan) right an hour on that thing and i could really feel it! then i decided my day just wouldnt be complete unless i got in the pool so i swam for an hour and a half.

my shoulders are SORE!!! i think swimming for a min of an hour over the last 5 days is really working them. i need to figure out how far i am actually swimming because our pool is quite small so i am doing one heck of a lot of laps.

i have done well with my eating this week... no french fries for this chick.

rambling

Swam for an hour, 3 1/2mi at the track, 25min lifting weights, biked 2 1/2mi.

Twas a busy day for me. Sadly I was only down .2 of a lb. and that is really positive weight because me thinks that cruise added some weight even with all the walking and what not. i need to get down a couple pounds to be where i was pre-cruise.

I am feeling much better though. I look forward to my swim everyday, and walking with Jeri. It is always good to know someone will be checking up on you if you were to go AWOL one day.

I am going to need to make a point of not eating desert after dinner every night. Or convincing Paul to share desert on this next cruise. Darn Chocolate Melting Cake w/ vanilla ice cream!

tripple threat

Swam for 1 1/2 hours, biked for 25 min, walked with Jeri. Completed 4 miles at creek park.

I am hoping I can keep up doing 3 things a day. I plan to switch off with biking and lifting weights. So that the days I am at BU track I am also lifting, the days I am at creek park I am biking.



...7 days till vacation...

so... i have been a HUGE slacker. not only with posting on here but also with doing what i should be doing (working out). i have been getting better about it. since i cannot remember all the days i did what, when and so forth i will start with today and work backwards as far as i can remember.

today- i swam for an hour straight, relaxed a bit then headed to the track for 1 1/2 hours of fast walking. stretched and called it a night

yesterday- swam for an hour, biked 6 miles, completed 3 miles at the track. was still feeling the energy so i turned on the wii sports and played 3 tennis matches which took about 35 min or so.

saturday- lifted heavy stuff for hours. went up and down many many flights of stairs. remind me to never move.

last week i met up with jeri and amy a couple times through out the week, i and swam 2-3 times

cruise week we did TONS of walking, hiking, stairs, kayaking, a short swim and some more walking.

week before the cruise i did lots of swimming and walking. got my bike tires fixed at a wonderful little shop in Mira Mesa and biked 4 miles one day.

before that there was some walking, maybe a handful of days swimming but no where near the amount or consistancy that their should have been. i wont make any promises but i am going to do my best to be current in my posting of my progress and more exact in the miles, and hours i complete in what sport.

I am awkward. (that word looks weird to me)
I have forgotten how to make friends.
I think I talk to much when I walk.
If I do... just give me a look, nudge me, poke me, trip me etc.
Thanks.

drama

Sorry for stopage of the posting. I had a medical issue that kept me from working out for about a week and a half, then we had Spring Break so I wasnt at home. Which was followed up by a couple weeks of me being lazy. So I maintained my weight most of the time and ended up at -1 from where I last left off.

This past week I did really well with working out even completeing 6 miles one day.
I took one day off. Did weights everyday I walked/jogged.
