After I got back home, though, I didn't work out as much (last week). I ended up doing a detox because of what I learned about Splenda (posted on my blog last week) and didn't get in all of my cardio. HOWEVER, my goal for this week is 5 cardio sessions, of 30 minutes each in my target heart rate zone. I'll also be doing 2 sessions minimum of strength training. So far I've done one strength training and one cardio. :) Hi Cindy, thanks for the kudos on working out while traveling! After I got back home, though, I didn’t work out as much (last week).

I love a variety of exercises but I would say my favorites are Walk Away the Pounds in home workouts, Turbo Jam (in-home) & Turbo Kick (gym class) and the Elliptical. Thanks for the welcome.

This week my goal is back to 5 days of exercise, at least 30 minutes at a steady, moderate intensity. Monday I did the elliptical and then had a lovely walk through a nature park after dinner with my husband. I did double the stretching that evening after all was said and done! :) Lynn - Ugh! How horrible! I hope you're feeling better very soon!! Stretching and strengthening exercises for my knee/legs continue… and should continue if I want to heal!

Ack! I did <em>not</em> make my 2:37 goal, but I'm perfectly okay with that. I ran over a four and a half minute personal best, and not only that but I won the marathon and set the course record. I'll take it! (<a href="http://news.runtowin.com/2008/05/06/cox-marathon.html" rel="nofollow">race recap</a>) This week is all about taking it easy and getting some rest. I went for an easy walk with my wife yesterday evening, I'll probably go swimming tomorrow, and the only running that I plan on doing will be Thursday evening at my coaching group, since I'll need to lead folks in the workout. Sunday is the Sea Dogs Mother's Day 5k, and I'll be working the registration table in the wee hours before the race and controlling traffic during the race. Volunteering is almost as much fun as running, is a great way to give back, is a lot cheaper, and it's not like I'm going to breaking any records a week after a good hilly marathon anyway. Heheh.

Lots of rest! I agree with the hubbies and dishes. Sound's like ours are on the same wavelength. Great mix of pilates, yoga and running Rachel. Keep up the great work. CFO, Excellent approach to taking the eating and focusing on one day! You're doing awesome. Welcome Angie! What type of exercise do you enjoy doing most? Great goal. Yea, Brianna. With the schedule you're keeping, it's fantastic to see how you're prioritizing your runs. Keep it up. Oh Lynn–Please get better! Lots of rest! I agree with the hubbies and dishes.

I have just had my well-woman and I am okay! My husband and I think I spend too much time on the computer and my feet dangle downwards! I also tend to stand them up on my toes. I need to get up and move around more. This is my goal of the week. Thanks,Cindi Bringing over for Cindi:

I made it! I got in my three runs last week (and even a yoga class, too!)and I'm already one run toward repeating the goal this week (I'll be gone 4 nights this week, so I'll really have to WORK to get all 3 runs!). I ran this morning figuring it would be the best way to start a busy week - feeling strong and accomplished. Lynn - I hope you feel better! So . . . I made it!

That sounds just awful! I hope you're back to 100% soon! As for me, I did all of my workouts but not as intensely as I would have liked (I had my period and felt very blah and uncomfortable). I'll set the same goal for this week but I'm not sure I'll be able to work out every day since hubby will gone for a couple of nights on business and he handles bedtime while I work out. I want that eating trigger to kick in, so I am going to start the way I started with exercise: I will eat really healthfully one day this week. No junk food or desserts, lots of fruit & veggies, lean protein, etc. I will use the worksheet from the GWM workbook for this! Thanks, Cindy! @Lynn – Yikes! That sounds just awful!
