Good luck and keep it up! Massage and water are great desserts after workouts. Try some breathing exercises too, they can make you feel more relaxed.
Most of us post on Monday our planned workout for the week. But sometimes, life, illness, etc gets in the way. Liz said that she goes back everyday and updates her post with what she actually did versus just leaving it as what you want to happen.
Not sure if anyone else wants to do it, but I find it helps me stay accountable.
Great idea Liz.

I do weights twice a week. I never really paid attention if it's strenth or toning-- I feel like one inevitably comes with the other to some degree.
I use the weight machines at the gym- some says feee weights are better, but I hate the mirrors in the free weights area. After 35 minutes of cardio I do weights. I rotate to cover arms, backs, shoulders, abs, chest and legs. (I aim for 3-4 areas each time) I do 3 reps of 15 per machine. Over time I've upped my weight too. As it gets to easy I keep adjusting. I've been doing this routine for 3 years, so have seen great progress.
Whats considerd high weight though? Seems a tad subjective. For upper body I can do a max weight of 75# depending on the machine. Lower body can handle 90+ in weight. With free weights I'm used to 12.5# dumbbells. I only use those when I do the step aerobic circuit- I could probably handle more otherwise.

We had a runners meeting Monday and I asked some of the more experienced runners (Boston Runners) and we came to the conclusion that I did not get enough water. I had only consumed about 9oz for the whole run because it was cold and I didnt "feel" like I was sweating too much. So today I did 10, it was in the upper 40s but I still stopped at 5 and drank like 10oz and felt great the rest of the run. No nutrition on a short run but Im experimenting with what will work on the next couple of long runs. I think Im going to try using "Gu's" again and see how they work.
Gatorade doesnt work for me. Im not sure what it is but I never feel good after drinking it. I just use water.

If you are sweating a lot and cramping during the run than salt tables maybe your answer or something like gatorade along that line. Not sure what you are drinking or fueling is like.
Sorry about your car Gwen. Hopefully everything works out.
