Weekend Workouts
Good on ya, Bill!! Looks like you're plugging away at it!
Today I ran a Half-Marathon (so 13.1 or abouts), and tomorrow I'll do my training run with my marathon group of 11 miles at 10:30 pace.
ETA: I STRONGLY discourage anyone from doing something this stupid - I felt WRETCHED during our group run because of running on Saturday. Tomorrow is absolutely rest day!

Saturday - I call it the "Luke Upper Body Plan' - my 8mth old great nephew is in town and I played with him All. Day. Long. We went swimming in the evening but no laps, all "strength" training lol (my shoulders and quads are so sore from carrying him / playing / etc)

This weekend... I repeated my first ever race, the USMC Mud Run here locally! 5k, up/down hills, through the woods, mud holes, creeks, ice pits, up a rope climb, over walls, through pipes and finally a huge mud hole/POND to finish.
Last year, I weighed 235ish at the mud run, buddy of mine hurt his heel so lots of breaks/walking and we finished in 1:15. I did not succeed on the rope climb up the hill, and had help over the walls.
This year.. we finished in 55 minutes, I went up the rope climb like there was nothing to it, over the first wall like a champ, and the second wall still got me, had to take the step up. (So I still have a goal for next years race!) My weight was 190 pounds this year. (Pic of the runners before / after in my Photos. The two ladies are also RNY patients in our program!)
That was Saturday, Sunday I hit the gym to do my CrossFit WOD, and when I got home, I had a NEW personal record, 189.8 pounds!!
on 6/3/13 1:48 am
I was supposed to run a 5K on Saturday. It was a benefit event for a family with a daughter with cystic fibrosis but I am still babying my foot/ankle. I was hopeful and picked up our packets on Friday but wasn't feeling strong on Saturday so I skipped the 5K but did run the mile fun run with my boys. Then, we cheered on the 5K'ers as they came in, my son's soccer coach ran a sub 30 5K in 90 degree heat, in our hilly neighborhood while pushing a 150 pound wheelchair with an 80 pound, special needs 17-year-old in it. The kiddo was having such a great time and I was completely moved by his selfless act, I'm going to find some way to help out the organization that paired up the runners with the kiddos.
