Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Now that is a road that beckons! If I look closely, I am fairly sure I see a fine and hearty meal at the end of it. Like you, I never eat before a run, but I run because I love to eat. Oh, yes, I do! I marked off another 10K today and saw a zig-zagging cottontail rabbit, a corn snake soaking up the remaining heat of the day, a snowy egret focused on minnows in the bayou, and a lengthy section of fencing along a swampy pond. Why the fencing, you ask? Because sadly, someone was walking their German Shepherd puppy off-leash on the trail three days ago, and a ten-foot alligator snatched the little thing from the shore for dinner. As you can imagine, the event has raised quite a ruckus over what should or should not be done about the alligator. As the trail was put through an area teaming with wildlife, and there were warning signs everywhere, I am one to think that the gator should be left alone. That said, I think I will watch my steps a little closer in the future. Here is a photo of the far-sighted fellow:Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Wow Surfermom.....The only threat to life that I'm subject to arises from speeding cars suddenly appearing round a bend in the road, and that can be solved by sensible positioning and listening. Never wear headphones....Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I tried to surf...but the rain has settled in here so I am back at the house enjoying the healthy drink of water that we certainly needed here...Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Eight miles - good grief, OGF - I am going to have to up my game! The rain finally stalled enough to squeeze in five miles before sunset. Like you, it my legs that are slowing me..not so much my heart rate or breathing. How disciplined are you about your stretching before and after to minimize leg tightness/heaviness?Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Actually Surfermom I've never stretched in my life......I've been lucky to have never suffered a serious running injury in all my forty years of running. Of course I've had the odd strain, and a recurring bout of sciatica when the weather gets cold, but that's probably due to the fact that I run in shorts all year round. Legs were meant to be free and embraced by a cool breeze, It's like being in your own little micro climate when you're running in the zone...Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Today was "leg day"Re: Post your daily exercise routine
That's a very impressive leg routine, Deborah! How long have you been doing this kind of workout? I hope you enjoy your walk tomorrow. With luck, I'll be about 4,500 miles across the ocean running the beach too, and will be sure to give you a wave.
