2009 SB Fitness Exercise Challenge!!!

4 and a half hours of hard riding chasing cows at the sorting practice!!

Dude, I am drained after just thinking about 4 and 1/2 hours of riding! :shocked2:

Ok, so I was actually pretty good this week... walked everyday, 'cept Tuesday - because I was sick, did water aerobics for 50 minutes and 10 more minutes of laps on Thursday and went to a new Yoga class this morning for 60 minutes. They heated the room we were doing the Yoga in "on purpose!!!" and I was sweating like I have never sweated before... I really don't like sweating

Been good on food, too... although today i did splurge on a small "like it" size of coldstone ice cream... boy was it yummy!!!

mmmmm.... coldstone ice cream.... I had to stop eating that stuff.... too hard for me to burn off the 1200 calories it contains.

no kidding. I've had chocolate cravings the past couple days and gave in by eating chocolate chips.
Ran a 5K yesterday.. pretty slow. I didn't feel very well when I got up, and was feeling almost worse by race time. Then my asthma kicked up. Never had that happen before while working out. GRRRRHHHH. So I had to walk most of the race.

Hey I just found this thread. I'm in, too. But I'm already doing weekly exercise so won't have to do anything additional.

Last year I did my first triathlon and 100 mile bike ride. This year I'm doing (will try to do) my first marathon. I'm on a 44 week training schedule for it!

Yikes. So yesterday I did an 8 mile run. Today is an off day. Each week is 2 days of speed training, 1 day of running a shorter distance at a higher pace, 1 day of cross training (biking) and 1 day of long distance running at my race pace.

Saturday was a weights day, had a good hard hour and a half of weights.

Sunday I reached my goal of swimming a half mile! Not bad for three months post ruptured disc.

I went running yesterday for an hour, did another 30 min, weight training. I had Aikido this morning for 1.5 hours. All together, I get about 8 hours a week in Aikido, and I try to run at least twice a week. I need to get back in the pool and swim, but in FL, none of the pools are heated.....and my widdle toes get chiwwy....

I sit in the sauna before I get in the pool, they're trying to cut costs so the "heated" pool is about ten degrees colder this year.

I just had a mental image of Homer Simpson drooling for a donut... DOH!!!

Jenny, at least you finished the race, walking or running, doesn't matter, you still did it! Congrats!

Hello everyone. I hope I am allowed to join in.

So today I rowed for my five minute warm up (Comp says I did 1000 meters but who knows), did unassisted dips and free weight exercises for chest and triceps. Finally I then ran for 20 minutes covering 2.25 miles.
