So, here are my steps for the week.
And here's my current workout plan. It's an 8-wk plan, but I've only got the first 4 below. I just started wk 1, so I've only done the first Monday's run.
Here are the definitions they're using:
Fat-burning run: Run for the time indicated at a pace that is 65 percent of your maximum heart rate (if using a monitor) or a five out of 10 on the perceived effort scale, i.e., a comfortable pace.
Strength training: Perform strength-training exercises, including squats, lunges, pushups, deadlifts, planks and overhead presses for the time indicated.
Sprint intervals: Perform all intervals on a steep hill or a treadmill set to a 6- to 8-percent incline. Run 10 minutes at an easy pace to warm up. Sprint up the hill for 30 seconds at a very challenging effort. Recover by jogging down the hill (or on a 0-percent incline for two minutes). Complete as many sprints as indicated. Finish the workout with another 10 minutes of easy running.
Easy run: Run at an easy pace for 20 to...
So, here are my steps for the week. Pretty inconsistent, but that's because of the run on Saturday.
And here's my current workout plan. I just finished week 16. YAY! This week I'm taking it easy and getting some yard work done. Hopefully, by next week I'll have a new plan.
Tuesday - 3 miles at the park. 20 minutes of garden work (I'm counting it.)
Wednesday - 30 minutes of weights at home
Thursday - Ran 2 miles at the park
Saturday - 10.4 mile trail run. (Okay, I walked up some of the hills.) My time on the run was 2:38:59 which put me 61 out of 93 women (165 out of 210 overall).
This is my brother and me towards the end of the race. This picture is actually one of the half dozen the website scrolls through - Salt Fork Spring Challenge. It was a really hot day, in the mid 80s toward the middle/end of the race I'd say.
How was your week? Readers’ Workouts is...
So, here are my steps for the week. Not so great, but not too awful, either.
And here's my current workout plan. I just finished week 15.
Tuesday - 5o minutes on the elliptical. 20 minutes of arm machines.
Wednesday - 30 minutes of weights at home
Thursday - 40 minutes on the elliptical
Friday - 3 miles on the treadmill
I didn't get my long run in, which kinda sucks, but we saw Othello on Saturday and ate dinner out. Sunday was Amber's Scholars banquet and Monday evening was her band banquet. There is only so much time in the day, so I'm not going to worry about it.
I'm trying to decide what my next set of goals should be. Or maybe a plan that keeps me on track. Maybe I just try to repeat the week 14 above with variations as needed. Suggestions?
I'm also thinking about doing a Whole30, but I think I'll wait until June for that. This month, between banquets, Mother's Day,...
So, here are my steps for the week. You may notice Monday is missing. I was feeling quite up to par yesterday and apparently didn't sync my fitbit after Sunday evening. I think I only made it about halfway to my goal yesterday though. The last time I looked at it I only had almost 3 dots. And apparently I forgot to put it back on after my shower this morning. I hate when that happens.
And here's my current workout plan. I just finished week 14.
Tuesday - 5 mile run on the treadmill. 20 minutes of arm machines.
Wednesday - 30 minutes of weights at home
Thursday - 60 minutes on the elliptical, but I had to break it into to times because of my schedule
Friday - 3 mile run on the treadmill
Sunday - 9 mile run on trails at Raccoon Creek Park. It was supposed to be 12, but those hills are really steep.
I almost always listen to audiobooks while I'm walking and running....
So, here are my steps for the week. I missed my goal one day, but overall I did pretty well.
And here's my current workout plan. I just finished week 12, except I totally missed my long run, which is not good. Next week, I'm skipping to 14.
Tuesday - 1 mile walk with the dog. 5 mile run on the treadmill. 20 minutes lifting weights at home.
Wednesday - Parts of a workout from Self using a 10-lb plate and then about five minutes of ab exercises.
Thursday - 35 minutes on the elliptical
Saturday - Ran a 5K. You can read about it here.
Monday - 1 mile walk with the dog
I almost always listen to audiobooks while I'm walking and running. This week I've been listening to The Autumn Republic by Brian McClellan, which I'm loving.
How was your week?

So, here are my steps for the week. I missed my goal one day, but totally overshot it a couple of days, so I feel pretty good about it overall.
And here's my current workout plan. I just finished week 11. Looking at the calendar, I'm going to do week 12, then skip 13.
Tuesday - 1 mile walk with the dog. 5 mile run on the treadmill. 20 minutes on the arm machines at the gym.
Wednesday - Workout from Self using a 10-lb plate and did reps instead of time to make it 30 mins
Thursday - 35 minutes on the elliptical. I had to go to the gym while Amber was at paint, because I needed to be home in the evening to help her with a history paper.
Saturday - 4.9 mile hike at Raccoon Creek State Park. 1 mile walk with the dog.
Sunday - 9 mile run at the local park
Monday - 1 mile walk with the dog
I have a 5K on the...
