| Location: Pittsfield,MA,USA Member Since: Jan 08, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Recover From Injury Running Accomplishments: I ran Varsity Track and Field in high school and was primarily a sprinter (100m, 200m). I also did the 400m, 4x400m, long jump and triple jump. Sprinting comes most naturally to me, but I am opening myself up to trying new things and increasing my endurance. I didn't get into running any long distance events until I met Benn and I'm still getting used to it! Short-Term Running Goals: I sprained my ankle the night before Thanksgiving 2008 which forced me to come back from that injury. Right now I am primarily doing running workouts in the 5k range, hiking, trail running, and some cycling. I also do lot of stretching and some free weight exercises, along with some cardio & yoga here and there.
Long-Term Running Goals: To stay healthy and active. To make exercise a permanent part of my life. To act as a roll model for wellness.
Personal: I live in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. Earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Am currently working at a day spa but am taking steps to work in a laboratory. Getting marriedto the guy of my dreams, Benn, in October 2010 and am honored to be able to spend the rest of my life with him. Lots of excitement and planning to do, but taking it all in "stride".

Stretched and had a workout "date" with my sister. We did Power90 Cardio. I can really feel the power yoga working on my arms, chest, neck, and legs. Whooh! The crunches really burned today, too. Did around 168 of 'em. After that, I did some niiiice stretching and jumped on the treadmill. I did a 4 minute warm up at 6.0mph. Then I did several one-minute intervals of 7mph and one at 8mph (a little too fast for my liking) until I hit 3.2 miles. Then I did a cooldown of 6.0mph-4.8mph for the final 0.3 mile. Stretched again and lifted free weights for about 10 minutes. Did my final stretches, making sure to include my arms and neck. :) | | Comments(1) |

Sooo tired. Had to force myself awake to get up and run before work. Stretched and did 3.1 miles on the treadmill with 2% incline at 6mph. then did a 0.2 mile cool down at 5mph then quickly down to a brisk 4mph walk. Stretched again (with Skyler, the 2-year-old I help babysit) and lifted free weights. Stretched my arms and ran upstairs to make breakfast and hop in the shower.

Really windy and crappy day out today. Got back from a doctor appointment a little after noon, stretched, and did a workout with my sister. We did Power90 Cardio w/ the usual amount of crunches. After that, I ran a 5K on the treadmill at 6.0mph with 2% incline. Finished with leg lifts and more stretching.

| | Today, my sister and I did Power90 Sculpt and then I hopped on the elliptical while my sister used the treadmill. Up to 2/3 of the way through the workout, My sister kept saying "I don't wanna do this anymore" but I kept pushing her and she stayed through the whole workout. I "ellipticised" at resistance 5 for 3.2 miles. Got a big drink of cold water and did final stretches. | | Add Comment |
