You are amazing. I hope to do half iron man next year. truly admire people who can do the full. I dream about it but I don't think I could do it. 

I am trying so hard to lose 20 pounds that I have put on and I can not get it off. I have no idea why i have gained when i exercise all the time and watch what I eat. I wish I looked as good as you.

you rocked it. amazing. i could not even think of running it in 4hours. I am happy being just over 6. 

You will be great at the 50k race

Can i ask you a question. I am going to anyhow.

I have my long run coming up next weekend and it is suppose to be my longest run that i will have for my 50k race. My trainer is gone away so I can not ask her but she has me down for 4 hours and I am sort of worried that it is not long enough when i am looking at being out there on race day for over 8 hours. Do you think I should increase it to 5 or 6 hours or stay with her plan.

I am wondering if she is keeping it to 4 because of my knee issue and not wanting to put to much mileage on the knee.

Would love your advice. nerves are getting to me

Topic: Playing is the secret to long-term success

In celebration of my 10-year anniversary, I completed my second Ironman last month.  I've maintained my goal weight  by finding activities that I enjoy and simply going outside and playing with my friends.  What was once exercise turned into a lifestyle and it all started with a couch to 5k program where I could barely run a minute.

When I was first starting out, members of this board inspired me to imagine the possibilities.  I thank them for the inspiration to believe that we can do anything and become anything we want to be, even an Ironman.

Body Pump is a class I take at my local Y. It is a hour long class. It is working all body muscles with low weights but using high reps!

May I ask what body pump is. sounds interesting. 

Monday- I did an open water swim in Lake Ontario. The waves were crazy. I drank so much water it was gross

Tuesday. 60 minute easy run. I have so excited for the next 3 weeks I am running the run group. It is suppose to be a learn to run but if the same regular girls come out than I can make it harder. Looking forward to doing this

Wed swim

Thursday 50 minute run

Friday 40 minute strength and fitness

saturday 2 hour run

sunday 60- 90 minute easy ride

I forgot that I'm starting lifting weights this coming Saturday, last week I posted that I was starting that week.  But I'm starting this week.  The plan was to give myself a week to get adjusted to running and school before adding in lifting.  

Monday - nothing planned, will be weight day in the future

Tuesday - running, stretching

Wednesday - pilates class

Thursday - running, stretching

Friday - piyo class, tai chi class, pilates class

Saturday - lifting

Sunday - running, stretching

 

Running last week went good.  I've restarted a 5k training plan and my shoulder hasn't given me any grief.  Yay!
