The Body Magic Team (formerly exercise bike challenge)

[Lucylu79]

Thanks both, I have got a very understand friend and she knows all about my ticker, dodgy knee and general inability to just run like that!

've got my food delivery before 10am this morning and then weather permitting Alfie and I are going to do my old 5k route with some light jogging, thats if I don't trip over the stroller!!

 

[Lucylu79]

Running at 6:30am is haaaard!

I used to love getting up at 5am and going running back when I was training for my first 5k in 2009, I used to love watching the sun come up, plus my hubby used to finish at 6am so I hated the thought of bumping him to him!

 

[aesir22]

Lol!!! I'll get used to it. I used to always do my exercise in the morning. Its nice because everything seems fresher and clearer and you're not knackered from a busy day at work!

 

[Lucylu79]

After many arguements with myself all day I finally did it - Alfie and I have been for our first walk/run!!!! Yey to us!!!!

Stuck to my old route and used mapmyrun, ok so i'm much slower then 3 yeard ago but without training and having a baby i'm not that unimpressed with my little self.

Managed to do 3.24 miles in 46.10 mins which is nearly 15 mins slower but I am pushing a buggy too so i'm still quite pleased with that!

Hey Emma!

Of Corse you can join, with the amount of exercise your doing you may put us to shame though!

So what you running these days then? How far, times etc?

 

[aesir22]

I try to just do 3.1 miles as thats what the race is in a fortnight. Am hoping to do it in 35 mins or less if I can!

 

[Lucylu79]

Whats your best to date Daniel?

 

[aesir22]

38 mins. I just need to sort pacing and a proper route out. Think I've got the route sorted, will know tomorrow.

 

[Lucylu79]

38 mins is so near 35 mins and the atmosphere will probably make you run faster anyway! ;-)

 

[aesir22]

Lol here's hoping! Once I get to 35 min regularly I'm gonna look at distance.

Hows everyone else getting on?

 

[Lucylu79]

Been a good day for walking for me, Walked into town and back this morning and we've just been for our usual walk and tracked it and surprisingly its 2.72 miles. I tried to brisk walk it but hubby asked me to slow down several times and i'd rather not have the earache!

Going to try to do the 3 miler again tomorrow and beat my time, thats if my legs don't get any worse of corse....Owww!!!!

 

[Emmamb]

I've had a rest day today after 4 workout days,got bootcamp in the morning and then running 3 miles tomorrow night x

 

[Lucylu79]

My thighs are really sore from my walk/run the other day!

What warm up/cool down do you guys do??

 

[aesir22]

I walk briskly before running and after. Then stretch out while my lungs explode and I feel like I'm gonna die after its over.

 

[Lucylu79]

Yeah did that but they are still sooooooooooooreeeeee!!!!

Good morning all

No BM for me at all since Monday this week, not been feeling well at all.
Been in bed more or less everynight straight from work and only got up yesterday when I was hungry. Feeling dizzy still so no going out for me today.
On the plus side 3 lb off for me which makes 4 1/2 in 2 weeks which is about the same as I lost in the last 2 months.

You guys all seem to be doing great and Lucy so close to target, you must be feeling really good
Hope you all have a good day
