Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Floydy, the holidays are are the enemy of the athlete's schedule, and with your busy life, I hope you can just sit back and enjoy the lovely women in your life! Some time away from the gym may well give your knees a chance for a little recovery - which certainly can't hurt! I am always astounded at how well you step back into the gym, and I am sure it will be the same once your schedule normalizes again. While it will be interesting to read your workout reports over the holidays, take some solace in the fact that several of us are barely getting out the front door too , though OGF at least made a noble attempt.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Thanks for the medal Surfermom, and the porridge went down a treat but the failed attempt at running didn't.... So after delivering Mrs Fox to a restaurant for a girlie meal with her friend I rushed home and quickly changed into my running kit and put right the wrongs of the day with a six mile run.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
With the temperature hovering just above freezing, and glistening white frost reflecting diamonds off the footpaths and roads I decided an unscheduled three mile run would be appropriate to start the day. So before the sun had risen above the horizon of a clear blue sky I struck out in the cold morning air. Traction was good on the crunchy frozen surface and I made short work of the route that had taken me along the banks of a partly frozen canal, hurling 'Good Mornings' to several runners coming in the opposite direction. A tough bunch us runners.....Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I am stalling. It is near freezing right now, but there is this amber, brillant orb rising in the east that promises another ten degrees F by noon, which leaves me patiently waiting over a cup of chai.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Surfermom, you need some shoes like Bob has. All that runn9ing in the snow and ice, they must be pretty decent qualityRe: Post your daily exercise routine
It would be great to be eighteen again, but not in a training sense. This is like starting all over again; basic sets, light weights, over and done. But what I did do today, more than the actual training, was get myself back with some kind of focus once more, regain some positivity back to my training structure which has been all but lost over the past couple of months or so. And the only reason I'm doing a journal again is because I feel I need to write this down somewhere and that keeps me motivated. Otherwise I tend to skip on stuff.Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Wise words Bob, Thanks.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Aaah, just as Floydy is ready to push down on the accelerator, I have been missing most of my outdoor time to do a painting for my dad and accomplish all things Christmas in advance of yet another 15 hour drive to Kansas.
