Cool August 2009 exercise accountability

Wow! August already!! I'm not that crazy about the month of August. LOL!
It's usually uber hot, so there's usually watering restrictions, the lawn turns a nice toasty brown,(NOT good!) and it goes by soooooo slow because I'm usually on count down for vacation. But, we must go through August to get to September, eh?? LOL!

back later with mileage!

happy trails!

exercise day off yesterday.
today's, is a different story, however.
long story, short:
still awake at midnight...staring at the clock! grrr!
sleeping soundly...BIG THUNDER BOOMERS at 0400! grrr!
give up the idea of sleeping and get up at 0600.
it's stopped raining; the sun is out, streets are dry. yay!
I head out the door to do walk-n-runs.
Get 2 miles from home, and it starts to RAIN, even though the sun is shining!!!
Just sprinkling, temp is 78, no big deal.
HUGE_A_MONGUS downpour...still about 2 miles from home!
RIVERS of water running down the streets. AACCKK!!
I'm soaked....my shoes are so wet, the squish when I run.
RUDE people hit the puddles of water going 30MPH...so more wet, if that's even possible.
Finally make it home...it quits raining. Grrrr!
not so short of a story, but that's how the first half of my day has gone.
Think I'll take a nap!

walk n run: 63 min/ 233+ cal burn
2.80 miles walk
+1.40 miles run
4.20 miles today; 8.77 fitness miles/ August

happy trails.....

I've been busy as usual with less computer time....we had out of town company last week.

I started my new tweaked weights routine that the trainer helped me with. Today will be the medium weights day.

The weather here has been less than desirable as far as getting pool time goes...beautiful for enjoying being outdoors but not quite hot enough for enjoying the pool so I haven't been able to do my water walking or swimming. Biking has been minimal, too....lack of time and uncooperative weather is not a good combo for getting miles!

Not sure what else I'll do besides weights today....need to ramp up the workouts so I can get losing a little better. I'm doing well with the Biggest Loser challenge at the gym....it's really a very loose version of Biggest Loser....basically a weigh in once a week and the rest is on our own so we can workout how we want and the diet is our own choice. It's still nice to have the accountability of the weigh in so I don't mind participating...

Shelley, sounds like a good workout in the yard!

I did my first medium day weights yesterday....I can feel it a bit today. I just got back from a 13 mile bike ride and I'm on my way to the pool for a little relaxation with DH before he goes to work. Then I'm heading to the gym for a cardio workout and maybe some more pool time when I get back!

I've decided to try to get an hour a day biking rather than trying for the longer rides which I love more....I can usually find an hour to squeeze in and I told DH that since I tend to wake early I might just go before breakfast every day while he and DS are still sleeping. That will work as long as I get back by about 7:30 or 7:45 at the latest.

I've been so busy lately....wasn't home most of the weekend...I've been keeping up with the new weight workout....and today DH and I did a good bike ride. I still have to go do weights and maybe a little pool time later.

Yesterday I finally got the kettlebell dvd out and did a workout with the kettlebell and hula hooped in between the exercises! I'm sore today!
