Work In Progress - FitoverForty

[fitoverforty]

ha! That is TOO cool. I think it must be making the rounds right now on all kinds of sites.
It is such a testament to perseverance and ownership of one's life and dreams. I love it.

I've looked at it a couple times and sent the link to a couple people too! What's really amazing is it sounds like he started around jan 1 2009 and in the span of 1 year and 9 months has ran a marathon, and an ironman! Not to mention he lost 120 pounds! pretty inspirational!

Oh man, I am SO sore today. I feel like I ran an actual race! legs are killing me! The mile repeats are really working legs...I just hope it leads to faster overall race times.
I'm home today and have been "working out" moving furniture, dusting, scrubbing, vacuuming - I guess the Spring cleaning bug hit me just in time for Fall.

[Bonnie]

door is open for you, to come clean here too...

That bug comes near me I'm squashing it!

[Boss Man]

Spring cleaning. Sounds like the most boring job in the world.

Now remember, I want to see face in every one of those springs.

Yes Mr Johnson

LOL everybody!

Today's workout:
5 mile run
Steady pace with a few pickups thrown in here and there.

2x1min. front planks[/b]

Ouch!!!

[fitoverforty]

Yeah, that's what I was saying....I have been slacking for too long on those, and I def. feel it.

I have made a resolution to start doing that core work when I get back from vacation. I got to pay the penalty for what I do in Vegas somehow.

[Boss Man]

Going to Vegas must surely make you pay the penalty. Too full of expensive booze and then not very flush with the old cash, if you're not careful

Early morning run with son. He did 2 miles!! Weather was perfect - finally!! 57 degrees

2 mile run - 21:30
.5 cool down walk
2.5 mile total

[ldematto]

Good for you and how great is that to have your son with you!?!? Nice!

Ok - that's the push I need - off butt and upstairs to the elliptical!

Glad I could be of assistance.

Thanks Les! It was taken on 48th birthday party in May.

todays workout:

2.6 mile early a.m. run with son. He is really doing good - I'm very proud of him. He actually woke ME up at 5:50 a.m We ran about .5 farther than Monday's run.

I need to run a bit further to keep up with mileage and endurance, so right now I have him only running every other day, and on his "off" days I can get out and do a longer run.
We are planning on running a 5K in late oct. together. (eventually he will get faster and he will leave me in the dust - which is as it should be, and "old Mom" will have to let little protege fly - but for now it is so cool to run together)
