Started back to the gym today. I have a new appreciation for those Boomers who ride bikes (and I'm not talking Harley's!). After 30 minutes on the stationary bike, I thought my legs were going to fall off! Did a few free weights and crunches as well. No telling how sore I'll be in the morning! Tomorrow afternoon I meet with a trainer and have my program set up.

Happy running/walking to all!

Our computer at home is very fickle lately; bad ethernet card I think. So I haven't been able to keep up with the race reports...
tselbs, that long run Saturday was actually a walk, but thanks for putting it in your honor roll.
Yesterday DH and I rode bikes a couple hours, unmeasured distance, some big hills. Today I did the usual bike commute and am leaving school now to go home and walk 5. Will lift some weights tonight as well while watching whatever DH puts on tv. I'll try to get online again tonight. Have a good afternoon everyone.

Hello Boomer's . . . I'm back from a most enjoyable anniversary weekend with MrHopeful. I may post some scenery photo's tomorrow.

Saturday I was out for a 4 mile run - with hills - can't seem to avoid them up north.

Last evening I ventured out for a longish run - hoping for 10 - but it was pretty warm outside. Stoopid me - didn't bring a water bottle. At mile 6 I dug out my cell phone (Perch - bring one!) and called home for a ride. No one home. So I run/walk the last two miles for a total of 8 very slow miles. I think I dehydrated myself though, as I'm still fighting a headache today - but drinking, drinking, drinking. dumb of me I know.

Rest day today other than my 300 crunches. Hope to do some cross training tonight if I feel up to it.

LOL - great hockey analogy, although Wayne Gretsky might not see the humour.

Btw - your comment about lacrosse on my RR. I did play quite a bit of box lacrosse. Jim Bishop was a coaching legend in lacrosse and was instrumental in signing me with the Jr 'A' Oshawa Green Gaels at the time, although he didn't coach the team that year. I was then drafted by the Windsor Warlocks and Jim was our coach in the pro loop that year. He was the most inspirational sports coach I ever played for or knew. He was all about conditioning, disciplined system play and peak performance. I often ran to exhaustion in his practices and games. He was a great role model as well. (Jim was also Ex Dir of the Detroit Red Wings and got me a tryout at their camp that fall.)

We made a trip west that year and played the New West Salmonbellies and Coquitlam Adirondacks (?). The west coast continues to be a hot bed for box lacrosse.

Hi Boomers! Still sore from Saturday's long run, was going to do about 8 or so but decided to cut it short, went 4 miles. Just about right I think. I don't know if this would be up there on the list, but how about
"Gee, you don't sweat much for a fat girl"

Good Runs all, Larry

1750 yards in the pool.

Sorry about Dark Colt's behaviour. I mean I am sorry for Dark Mare really, sigh.
PBJ, us too. We'd eat and run right back out too.

30 min stair mill 1 hr weights.
