Exercise routines, tips and chatter?

[Nadine216]

love your insentive Bec. Get the thread up and moving again! Congratulations on exceding your goal!!! AND setting up a new personal best for the 10k!!

Thanks for asking. I do feel a bit better from the flu, but the stuff (TMI) sliding down my gullet are making me soooooo sick and on top of a small case of m/s ... well, I just feel cr@p

Have not been to the gym since LAST monday It's been looong weekend and I was just to tired and sick to get up for class on Friday. I skipped today too, still not feeling good. I am going to try and go wednesday, though. I really need the "mental-break" I am freaking out a bit about this pregnancy, about having a second child, about my first just starting to sleep through and now getting a new sleepless baby. And my body is screaming for some exercise ... I am already feeling fatter

Woohoo Bec! Under an hour that's fantastic! Well done for pushing your weights up. It's not that hard is it? Before you do it you think there is no way I couldlift that, then when you do it seems so attainable!

I''ve been off since Fri as it was the long weekend and MIL was here so I felt bad leaving her. Enjoyed the break though

I've booked my tickets to England and i'm going to buy a book of passes to use at my Mums gym. (pounds)90 for 20 passes that's about $180 which is nearly 4 months of my gym membership! The things we do for fitness!

Doing cycle in about an hour and I can barely keep my eys open, I had a terrible nights sleep last night. Georgia kept coughing and I couldn't go back to sleep I hate tossing and turning but my mind is spinning with all the things I have to organise before I go.

Nadine, it's a shame you're feeling bad, I hope you feel better soon. I read somewhere that you shouldn't get out of bed in the morning till you've had a cup of tea and some biscuits so get on to hubby

Nai, nice work with cutting your time! It must be freezing down in Melb brrrr!!

Take care everyone xxx

I think it's the winter weather

Is nobody doing anything anymore??

I'm not ... It's been a more than a week since my last confession. I have been working in DH's shop in the morings (m/s and all) so gym is only a faded memory. I miss it though. And I have picked up about 2kg's , I think it's mostly in my boobs, because ... wowsa!!

Bec - how did the race go?? what was your time??

Rachel - thanks hun, I am feeling much, much better with regards to the flu. Morning sickness .... WHOLE other ballgame

I am off for a dinner date with DH *nice * We have FINALLY sold a coldstorage room (that was becoming the biggest white elephant in the history of the universe) today, so we are going celebrating

Hi!

Actually it's coming into summer here, so i've no weather excuses...

My race was to be this Sunday, the 18th, and...i can't race. Right after the run i reported above, with my new PR being under 60mins, i got a mild foot injury. I rested it and iced it and a few days later tried a short run. It kicked in again after only a mile. So, four more days off and a lot more ice and such. Then last Saturday i ran 5k, felt great, had fun. Got in and felt fine. Walked about in very flat unsupportive shoes on Saturday night and Sunday. Got up on Monday unable to bear weight i was in so much pain.

Awful. There is something extensive happening because i have pain in my left sacral joint, left quad, left knee, right hip, right knee and right foot. I'm now on official rest until Bodypump on Tuesday. I had to miss pump this week because i was in pain just standing, and i couldn't put DD in the carrier as usual and i decided even if i could heal in time for the race i wasn't going to risk making it worse, since it was interfering with my life so much. I tired a swim on Tues instead of Pump and even THAT hurts.

So here i am, it's sunny outside and i can't run. My house looks great though - i have Spring cleaned it to within an inch of itself. It looks like a new place! LOL.

Aww Bec, that is to bad. I hope that injury is not to serious, could be you just pulled something really bad. At least you got lots of exercise spring-cleaning

I am going to gym on wednesday, really ... seriously. I am sooo tired, I am eagerly awaiting second trimester energy boost!!!!

That sucks Hoobley. Rest up.

I shouldn't have read this thread. All it does is give me guilt about not running anymore! I used to run 10km 3-5 times a week as training, and then race on Saturday's with a local club. I suppose I could still run 10km but my time would be crap compared to what I was doing. I have no idea where my motivation went!

[paradise lost]

Slyder your motivation is over the next hump in the road, if you get running now you'll catch it!!!

I am still technically injured, though i could probably run ok now. I had to miss pump last week so i'm giving myself until tomorrow (7 whole days) off and then going to pump to see how i go. My foot feels ok again and i'm wearing an ankle/foot brace to help a little. There's still something weird going on with my sacrum but i'm always shonky in my pelvis when AF is here so that's no surprise really. Often a good run sorts it out.

I can't wait to get out there. I'm going to try a gentle 5k on Wednesday if the weather's nice, with a few stops for stretching and a break at 3k for some abs work. I have decided i'm a jogger and i'm going to embrace that, and not worry about continuous running distance or speed too much. I know i can run 10 under an hour, which was my aim when i began all this. I also know i couldn't get too much faster without a) losing weight and b) seeing a chiro. I can't afford b and i'm not interested in a, so here we are.

I can't WAIT to do pump though.

How unfit are you now Slyder? Why not try a wee 5k and see if your mojo is out there on the road? Just jog it, it's only 30mins of running, see how you feel. Remember to get decent shoes!
