90+ minute workout to start 2014. They had an one time extended cardio/core class that I followed with some upper body stuff. If nothing else I got a good sweat going and the heartrate up for a while.

Re: The Work-Out Thread
Anybody else interested in joining me in this running streak thing? You decide the minimum distance. Could be just a mile. Doesn't even have to be running. Just some sort of exercise. We'll start a new thread. Anybody?

I'd probably need to call a couple friends. I would steer the car.

Re: The Work-Out Thread
Did about 30 minutes of weights today, but struggled with it, only did chest press, pec fly, ab crunch, curls and tri press, 3 or 4 sets of each and now i feel slightly nauseous. Not sure why today im feeling bad today, my blood sugar should be fine, we had a good healthy breakfast about 2 hours before we went, im not sure if im breathing enough though so that could be it.

10 miles in 69 minutes
Legs were tired after yesterday's run and a day at the lake with the kids. Never really felt great, but did manage a decent finishing kick. Listened to the jazz station during my run, it was kinda awesome. 35 out. 34 back. Good run.
Streak counter: 4

Re: The Work-Out Thread
I think I could be down for something of this nature. My wife asked if I would be interested in running a 5K on New Year's Day. My response was that I had never run more than two miles in my life and that made me feel fairly silly since she is training for a 50 mile ultra. I got home from work on Monday and asked myself why I hadn't run more than two miles, so I ran the 5K in my basement on the treadmill... did the same Wednesday and as longs as I get home before midnight I'll run another today.turned2black wrote:Anybody else interested in joining me in this running streak thing?

Seeing as I wasn't a runner my previous exercise of choice was weighlifting, competitive deadlifting was my main event; so my non-running days will be hittin' the weights, body-weight exercises, etc.
I've been pulling a ton of extra hours at work so Tuesday and Thursday didn't happen, so I can't say that I started on the first as you had but I'll take today as hopefully day one. One of the best reinforcements for daily exercise is a bit of accountability, so I'd be all for a dedicated thread.

Re: The Work-Out Thread
last night judging by my fit bit it had me logged in at 10.47 miles.
i would say approx 4 of those miles were from basketball. or approximately 58 trips up and down the court per game. we suck as white men.

Re: The Work-Out Thread
Slept right through my usual Saturday morning workout this morning. Can't even tell the last time I skipped a Saturday. Oh well, will just have to hit it tomorrow.
