I warmed up on the stair machine. 14:20 for minutes and 160 calories. I totally forgot to look at how many flights that was...I know it was more than 52...but beyond that I have no clue. All well.
Hector worked my mostly arms and core today. He really made me sweat--I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, but that's a good thing!! He attached 2 pound weights to my legs. Sightly evil, but I could do it--'cuz, I'm tough like that!!
Volleyball was cancled... :( I think I'm going through withdrawl!

1 mile warm up on the Precor--11 minutes (woo-hoo! I'm getting faster!) 130 calories.
Worked out with Hector for an hour. Mostly core work with some arms.
I'm still feeling eh. I'm glad I went, but I could tell I wasn't 100%. I think there's a nap in my future. I hope I start feeling better so I can get through that 10k on Sunday!

The Madison Marathon!!
Barb and Sarah, ran the marathon...I ran the 6K. It was actually 6.2 miles, but with my confusion of running with the 10k people for a short distance, my run was a little longer. I figure, my run may have been a little over 4 miles. I felt pretty good, even still being sick.
Here's myself, Sarah and Barb after the races:
It was a beautiful day for a run...hopefully next weekend's 10K will be just as good!

I warmed up for 5 minutes on the Precor. .4 miles and 50 calories.
I was going to do it for longer, but I noticed that both stair machines were open--those things are always taken with line for each one!! I hopped on for 12:30 and climbed 61 floors and 152 calories.
Then I worked out with Hector for an hour. Core work out and arms. I hope I'm ready for the 6.2K I'm running this weekend...or even more daunting the 10K the weekend after that!!
On another note, I registered for the Disney Half-Marathon. I'm wondering how Barb talked me into this one!! 13.2 miles seems crazy long right now for my unconditioned self. What's my motivation? 2 things: 1) Knowing Barb will be running it with me every step of the way (she's the best cheerleader ever!!) and 2) There's a Donald Duck shaped finishers medal. There's no use in panicing now...I'll wait until December for that!

Worked out with Hector for an hour-- core and arms. My arms are so weak...a least there may be some muscles being worked.
Volleyball for 2 hours at the park. I spent that time trying to learn to serve over-hand. I completely suck! It was like a high school P.E. nightmare. Fortunately, everyone was really supportive about helping me learn. I did manage to get a few over (without much consistancy). At least I tried--HOO-WHA!

48 Minutes on the Precor with the resistance set at 13.
500 Calories--4 miles
I need to get more cardio in, but there's only 2 stair machines--What's up with that?!?!

Volleyball day! (2 hours)
I was on fire today! I had some great spikes. I did almost tear my fingernail off...the ball hit the tip of my finger and sepreated the nail from the bed. Nasty blood everywhere. But, I got a bandage and kept playing...GAME ON!

7 Bridges Early Start 5K
This was a cute little suburban race. I didn't like the fact that it wasn't chipped. It's not motivating. The time was super slow (41:48). I wasn't really motivated. No more running with Jay. This one did have a good goody bag, but not as good as CPD!

Run To Remember
Today was the Run to Remember, sponsored by the Chicago Police Department. This defiately had the best goody bag and post race party around! I'll be back next year! There was even a beer stop instead of a water stop!
My time was better than the last 5K--38:31. Baby steps!
