Cooling down after an hour on the treadmill/exercise bike in the basement this AM - the thunderstorm rumbling over my house right now reinforced my descision to workout INSIDE this AM :)

Better than the 0 miles I've been running. I was up to 4 in December. :(

Sev Just start walking -- its better for ya with less joint pain issues . I gave up running 15 years ago and got into power walking the Queen has done it all her adult life and has not varied more than 5 lbs in the 47 yrs we've been together she weighs 120 at 5'4". Walking is a great cardio and fitness routine without the joint ache and tendon issues ya just gottaq stick with the program

I just loved that you can pack so much more fitness into less time with running. I don't have much time away from the kids and so I have to make the most of it. (And before anyone recommends with the kids, think about it: they're about 80-85 lbs combined plus the weight of a stroller, which is 20-25 lbs. That's a lot of added resistance, though I've done it before.) I'll get back at it, but I have to build up again. I also need to start getting up at 5AM again, as much as I hate it.

Right now... wishing the kids would take a nap. They're cranky and they're driving me nuts.

There was a time when I was totally nuts about getting to the gym between 5 and 5:30 am. Unfortunately, I need 8 hours of sleep so that means I have to go to bed between 9:30and 10:00. I did it for a bunch of years, but kind of fell out of the habit this past year or so. I'm not happy with myself.

I'm slowly working back into it. I ran 2.5 miles at the lake on Sunday; drove home Monday morning, but only got up at 5 on Tuesday and Friday to get to the gym. Will be there again tomorrow (NOT at 5! ; - ) and will try to run on Sunday. It ain't easy, Sev, but it's sooooo worth it.

I'm glad to hear from someone else in the 5 o'clock club! : - )

After 18 holes of golf i walked another 3 miles then cut the grass and had to Yank and pull on the tractor when it got hung up on some tree roots , then spread a whole bunch of mulch , then did some brush work -- think the damn tugging and pulling yanked out the tendons again dammit - it sure as hell wasn't the golf :D:D
