Re: Post your daily exercise routine
It's been great reading all your posts in here by the way, keeping up to date even though I haven't been training myself that much.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Hurricane Franklin gave us a nice round of glassy surf up here in the norther Gulf of Mexico this morning, which enabled my daughter and me to spend about three hours catching yards of waves. While I am no pro (just ask my snickering offspring), for every pearl and wipeout I manage to get the fins and rails into the side of a peeling wave. It's a great workout; without thinking, paddling works out core and upper body muscles, while standing up and turning the board requires all one's leg muscles. Further, falling off the board or getting smacked in the face full-on by a wave keeps one's ego at a very low and healthy state. There was quite a bit of each today.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
That sounds Idyllic Surfermom, living about fifty miles away from the nearest beach I can reach it in just over an hour, and I do, at every opportunity....However, this mornings run was no less dramatic.....Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Congratulations on your record - especially in August Well done, snail! Your vivid descriptions of your running adventures are not only inspiring, but they send me scrambling for Google to discover the new in what is so familiar to all of you in the UK. I did not, for example, know what a rowan is, but I do know we have mountain ash trees here, so I can better imagine how vivid those berries are. You certainly had your daily dose of endorphins, it seems.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Nonsense Surfermom your descriptive accounts are far superior to my meagre attempts. And your battle with the wrath of God outstrips my mere five second improvement on what are fastly diminishing times. Forty Five minutes for five miles would be a good time for me these days, and I notice you run every day.....You mentioned 35 miles per week....so 5 x 7 = 35...Yes... In comparison I only manage three runs per week of 6 - 8 - 10 and maintaining this has been one of my most important rules for almost forty years, only the distances have changed. The most important rule is not to stop or walk during a run (unless injured)....These rules have served me well over the years resulting in very little injury.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Sports day! If one plans to run, go surfing, and ride bikes to help a friend trying to catch some feral kittens to take them to the veterinarian, be sure to do the first two first, or else you will be too injured and exhausted to do anything else. That story is so off topic that I will post it tomorrow in the “Pets and Animals” section, but I am happy to report that I survived the event (though others barely did not and there is car interior that will never be the same) well enough that I squeezed in a cool six miles with my daughter late in the day.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
HiRe: Post your daily exercise routine
Really enjoying reading about Surfermom's adventures. It's surely a different world out thereRe: Post your daily exercise routine
Swimfeeders, that is one of the most sensational fitness stories I know about. Twenty-seven years after being told you had a debilitating injury and you are still that active and dedicated to keeping your legs fit? Incredible! This world of spinning classes is new to me, but I have decided I need more leg work, so it's an entertaining enough way to do it, and I can see that it will be enjoyable in the winter months. That said, I would, take a day on my outdoor bike any day of the week! Do I ever feel your pain when it comes to those downhill treks! When you are young, you never anticipate that going up would so much better than going down. I am very interested in your workouts and progress!Re: Post your daily exercise routine
