I haven't done shit. Other than powerlifting the remote control.

Be careful not to get a repetitive strain injury.

I don't masturbate, so no chance of that.

I have settled into a routine: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I lift weights. Compound stuff like squats and deadlifts. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I run two miles and do an ab workout kind of like the Ab Ripper workout from P90X. Sundays I die and am reborn like a phoenix.

After the torture of marathon training I have done the opposite and ditched all routine in favour of doing what I feel like on the day for a bit, including trying new classes at the gym and digging out my old DVDs. It's working out at about four days strength or circuits and two plain cardio. Last night I did a bare-belly dare workout at the gym in a cropped top, so sorry world for exposing my flab!

Or more conventionally, just get a bike.

Mormon missionaries.

So you think Brazen should take up with Mormons as a first step in her alternated fitness program ?

I did three 20 mile round trips on the bike this week - not too shabby for the beginning of the warm season.  Riding at 7200 feet makes the throat feel like hamburger though the first few times out.

Goal is 80 miles a week by June, easy to reach I think as I am not crippled by this.

Got a broken toe or an inflamed joint which has put me out of action. Doctor says it doesn't make any difference as you do the same thing for both - rest, ice and ibuprofen. Though he's given me a stand-by X-ray appointment in case it doesn't go away and I want to see whether it is actually broken. Got a 10-mile charity night hike next week which could be fun :S

Biked 25 miles this morning - the last 12 into a headwind so strong I had to pedal down a 5% incline...that will sap the old energy.

Made a 40 mile round trip last night to see a gig, on the way there quite a few nice little hills, but nothing on your 7000+ altitude or proper hills/mountains. 
On the way back, I had to take the main road back in the valley bottom, as I didn't fancy downhill stretches in the region of 40 mph with less than brilliant lights.

I'm desperate to go swimming, so I've asked Max to go with me. Our plan today: walk 3 miles to the pool, swim/lounge/canoodle/play in the water for three hours, then walk 3 miles home.

My major goal has always been to at least weigh less than my husband. I've managed that for seven years. Now, I want to have a smaller waist than him. So, my new goal is to winnow my waist down to 32" by the end of the year. Right now, I measure in at 39.5", so this is going to be hard going. The plus is that I haven't had a 32" waist since before I got pregnant with Carter and Jak. (I blossomed from 32" to 62" with that pregnancy.  Given that I'm only 62" tall, you can imagine the state I was in.)

My three times weekly route is a 10 mile out (rise about 600 feet), then a 2.5 mile climb (rise about 1000-1100 feet), then back.  It is a good workout - all at 7000-8500 feet.
