Good for you for pacing yourself in your recovery. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-50705611357882025822011-05-04T22:19:43.852-04:002011-05-04T22:19:43.852-04:00Yes, the back is better, thanks.

Br...Michelle... can't wait to see you in NYC! <br /><br />Brandy... check you out!!! Way to go!!! You must feel great!! :D I'm determined to get out on my bike soon. The weather is finally settling into spring temperatures. <br /><br />orannia... it'll be good to get into a pattern now before it gets too cold. I don't know how I'd get out and exercise every day in the winter if I didn't belong to a gym. <br /><br />samantha... Yay!! Welcome! :D <br />I think 50 fitness miles is a good place to start, especially if you are mostly running. I don't know how long or how often your typical runs are, but you can always change it next month. <br /><br />Lori... I totally understand about not keeping a fitness mile count. It's often battle enough to get out there and exercise, let alone worry about keeping track of it all. And you are kicking butt with your path to running a 5K!! You should be proud of yourself. It's not an easy thing to do to start a running regime. Especially at our age. LOL Throwing in a walk and a good stretch session now and then is probably a really good strategy in general. <br /><br />I hope your back is better by now?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-81019954857842666392011-05-02T15:24:02.700-04:002011-05-02T15:24:02.700-04:00I'm still finding it easier to not count fitne...I'm still finding it easier to not count fitness miles - it's just more time that I need to spend which = exercisefail! But I've kept with my plan to prep for my 5K by running/walking at a minimum of 3 times a week, and I'm also doing weights. Al in all, I'm satisfied. Plus, my BP is finally starting to come down.<br /><br />All was perfect until I tweaked my back somehow - I think I did it bowling on Saturday. So I skipped my run yesterday. Hoping I can get it in tonight after work, if my back cooperates. Otherwise, will just stretch & walk.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-10488054349345314602011-05-01T08:31:17.796-04:002011-05-01T08:31:17.796-04:00I think that I'm going to attempt and join in ...I think that I'm going to attempt and join in on the fun of this one. I've been working out/running off and on since January but nothing consistent. And I would really like to focus on this in May so count me in. I've gotta ask though...what's a good number to set as a goal? I honestly have no idea but I think that I'll start with 50 and hope for the best :)samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-43202682427953927842011-05-01T04:56:19.320-04:002011-05-01T04:56:19.320-04:00I was useless in April, but am going to try really...I was useless in April, but am going to try really hard starting tomorrow to get back on track!

I had a better than expected month because I've really tried to ramp up some of my days. I have 110 fitness challenge miles this month! I'll stick mine at 85 fitness challenge miles this month. (I'd rather stay low just in case, but will work toward more.) <br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-14895474254782860802011-04-30T22:18:42.988-04:002011-04-30T22:18:42.988-04:00Hey lady, did you see my email about my idea for w...Hey lady, did you see my email about my idea for what to do in NYC??
