"Obsessed" is a word the lazy use to describe the committed... Just sayin! 45 minutes a day 5-6 times a week is far from being obsessed in my book.

I have to admit, the actual post was different than what I thought the title was implying.... LOL.

You would soon forget a missed training run, however, you will ALWAYS regret missing important life events like your daughter's baby shower. LIFE COMES FIRST!!! Running is something we DO, family is who we ARE! Always remember your priorities... I got caught up in the race / training trap and lost sight of what in life is really important. I have finally found the perfect balance and I assure you, my daughters cheerleading, sons football, a day at the zoo, or whatever will ALWAYS come before any training run or race because with them is where true happiness is :)  

Thank you so much :)

FYI... 20 fluid ounces of water weighs 1.303968 pounds

Weigh yourself before you workout and after, add fluid consumed during training and see if you lost or gained weight, adjust accordingly to net 0 weight change and continue with 100 OZ

You guys go and rip it up!!!!!! Savor this experience brother and do not put unecessary pressure on yourself. RFP BABY!!! Relentless Forward Progress

You will either find ways to make it happen or find excuses why you didnt. You have to force yourself to do it. After 21 days of any repeated pattern, it becomes a habit...

I taught 2 hours of Cycle Classes. Awesome work this morning...

3 Hours of Spin Classes!

I ran a total of 7.2 miles this morning. 5.2 on Threadmill and then 2 miles on Stairmaster all in 60 minutes flat.

Then taught my 5:45am Spin Class which was insane!!!

WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY??? Quit Lurking and post-Up.

While i train for ULTRA Marathons, I don't use EITHER... I focus on TIME on my feet! A 7 hour walk is more effective than a FAST 5K. It just depends on your goals. If it is losing weight, I would think that starting to target 45 minutes of activity a day is a good starting place, then trying to increase by 5 minutes every few days. Once you hit 90 minutes or so, then I would start working on improving your speed, which in turn allows you to cover more miles / distance in that 90 minute window...

I have ran ULTRAS of 50 Miles to 100 miles with a Camelbak. I would not stay hydrated well enough with just a few 10oz bottles...
