Wanted: Online running buddies
Is there someone who runs that wants to be my online buddy? We can post every day about what we did (running) that day. I think if I have someone checking in on me I will be more likely not to slack off (like I have been doing a lot lately).
I used to be a big runner but took a few years off... so I am starting all over again, starting over slow! So if anyone is new to running that would be great also!

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I am in, my DH and dad are marathon training. I am only good for 4 miles though. Sometimes 5 miles. But I have been slacking in this heat.

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I think I am only going to run 3-4 times a week. I just can't seem to get into it like I used to. Today I used my stationary bike and jumped rope on the mini trampoline. Maybe go rollerblading later.
I want to do those races with you Tara!!! Gotta keep me running - no slacking off!

ONLY? You are so disciplined!! I am usually dead tired when I come home from work, so I never excersize (that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!). I bought Winsor palates DVDs, a yoga mat, excersize ball, weights blah blah blah and they are all laying there collecting dust 
My wedding is in May, I told myself after the holidays I gotta face the reality and get serious!

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I actually woke up an hour early to run before work today I only ran 1.5 miles though because my legs were killing me. by the end of the run i could barely lift my legs off the ground... i think i overdid it with the trampoline yesterday The rest of my body feels great though and this is the perfect weather for running!

It is perfect weather!!!!
I did Step on Sunday and Monday. Both classes were intense and about an hour long.
I will be either be taking a Body Sculpt class or I will be running 3 miles today. I am not sure what I want to do, but I'll let you know what I decide.
Julie, keep up the good work!!! Also, let me know if you want to walk during your lunch hour.

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I woke up early again  and ran today! Somewhere between 1.75-2 miles around my neighborhood (i clocked it with my car). I want to do more but I am afraid of overdoing it... so not until next week! The weather at 7 am is perfect and I really enjoyed it. Before I leave, I am dreading waking up and dreading doing it, but once I am finished I am glad I did it.

You are doing great also! I usually go home for lunch break now that I live close to check on Giz and stuff, so I don't think I can make the walks.
I hope to be up to 4 miles in 2 weeks (adding a mile a week) and once I get to 5 miles I will stay around there. Since I run outside I think that is the most I would want to do in the cold. I don't want to push myself to go too far to quickly. Plus I have to get new sneakers or some kind of inserts. My right foot arch is killing me. DO you know anything about that?

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I went last night, only 2.5 miles though. Got home from work too late. Probably only going to be able to do 2.5 again tonight. The I am going to take Thursday off, and I get off at work normal time on Friday, so hopefully 3-3.5 miles that night and on Saturday morning. then sunday off.
ETA:lat night was definitely at a jogger's pace though. Hopefully by saturday I can pick up some time.

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
No running for me this morning. I was so tired that I decided to ride the bike instead, right in my own house. I rode for 25 minutes. I think I am going rollerblading after work today also

I didn't run or exercise today. I think my motivation went down when I ate the yummy brownies that Beth made for dessert.
I am running tomorrow!!!!!!

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
Good Luck tomorrow Tara!!!
Ray and I are off today and we are going hiking This is why I feel like I am slacking off... because there are other activities I enjoy doing (like hiking, rollerblading) that I do instead of running.
This week I only ran Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I want to try for 4 times a week, so I will either run late tonight or tomorrow morning. Next week I am moving up to 3 miles.

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
I only run about 2 miles, but then I stationary bike for 5-6 and then elliptical for 2-3. I try to do it 4-5 days a week, but sometimes I can only make it 2-3. I would love to run more, but I just get so bored doing one machine for an hour that I like to change it up every 20 minutes.

I know how you feel.. I get bored with the machines so fast! That is why I have to run outside - no treadmil for me! I would onlky last 5 minutes on a treadmil.
Yesterday Ray and I went for a long hike, and after that we went rollerblading. I didn't run yesterday (friday).
Today I ran 2 miles, biked for 20 minutes on highest resistance, and jumped rope on my trampoline.

Thanks Julie!! I was so surprised, I had no idea. My time was 28 minutes and I did a 5k which is 3.1 miles. We had to go over the Smith Point Bridge too.
I am so pumped!!!! I am going to do another race in Riverhead in October.

Re: Wanted: Online running buddies
Great job
I think I am going to try for a November 4K as my first race.. there is one in Northport http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1260014 Only about 2.5 miles, I know I can do that. Then I want to try that Dec 10th 5K (i think you are doing that one?) as my first 5K. Tara, the last time I ran a 5K I was 18 years old, at Sunken Meadow getting a time of 22-23 minutes It is going to be a rude awakening when I see my times now.
