Wed: Bike 38 miles
Thurs: Run 4 miles, walk 1 mile
Fri: Bike 26 miles, Upper body workout
Sat: Bike 17 miles
Sun: bike 44 miles, spin class 45 min at gym
Total bike: 147 miles + 1 spin class
Run: 4 miles
Strength: 1 workout
I need to do more strength training and hope to improve that.
I had a pretty good week:
Monday ran 2.4 miles, pushups
Tuesday was much needed rest
Wednesday ran 3.2 miles, pushups
Thursday more rest
Friday ran 4 miles
Saturday even more rest
Sunday 2.5 hours of mountain biking, about 14 miles of single track.
I worked 57.5 hours last week so the rest was definitely needed to keep up. I honestly was able to keep myself from feeling really run down which is nice. This week I will probably work less and push it a little more.
Hope it's okay if I join! I figure it will help me to stay on track if I know I'll be writing it down for other people's viewing! Last week was interesting:
Sunday: 16.5 mile bike ride
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - nothing (recovering from fall on aforementioned ride):p
Thursday: 7 mile bike ride
Friday: AM - 2 mile run on treadmill, lower body weights workout, abs
PM - 11 mile ride
Saturday: 10.2 mile ride
My knees have really been bothering me when I run and I've been advised not to run for a while. :mad: Friday was a trial run after a short break, but they are still acting up. Will have to stick with walking on the treadmill for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to get over the psychological barrier I seem to have that makes me feel like I will never lose weight if I can't run! I suppose walking is better than nothing.
I think I'm going to just do one post and update it with each week's exercise log so everything is all in one place. Hope that's OK.

Hi 3for3! Of course it's ok for you to join! It's good to see that you are still keeping up your exercising even though you cant run!!!
I had another good week. Right now I am using cycling as recovery from boot camp. It seems to be working...
I've gained 2 lbs but..........wait for it...... I've lost an inch on my thighs and 2% body fat in two weeks!!! Yay! My trainer says that in a few more weeks the weight will start to melt off me.
Anyway, here's my weekly log
Sun/14th-off
Mon/15th- butt kicking boot camp (and my 30th bday!!!)
Tue/16th- 12 mile recovery ride on hybrid
Wed/17th- a.m. butt kicking boot camp, p.m. 9 mile ride on Onyx
Thu/18th- tennis w/ DBF
Fri/19th- butt kicking boot camp
Sat/20th- 10 mile recovery ride on hybrid
Thanks everyone!

Happy 30th Andrea! I had mine back in March. I think I was afraid to turn 30 but so far it's the best decade of my life! (All 6 months of it so far!) Hope you managed to do something fun after butt-kicking-boot-camp. I think I would have been tempted to skip out that day! :p

So-so week for me. Looks active on paper but there wasn't as much challenging myself. I really felt like the lack of running was a let down. Plus the mountain biking is still hard for me to get a good workout because I am learning.
Monday- Mountain biking, about an hour but there was a lot of stopping.
Tuesday- nothing
Wednesday- push ups, ran 3 laps (2.4 miles)
Thursday- Commuted home 27 miles
Friday- push ups
Saturday- 16.4 miles mountain biking, some of these miles (maybe 4) was asphalt connecting two trails.
Sunday- 5.5 miles mountain biking, worked hard this day. Push ups.
Not a great week for me. Twisted my ankle last weekend.

Sat. 9/27 - off - We were going to do a family ride, but I've got two sickos on my hands! My hubby and daughter have colds so I'm playing nurse. So, I didn't get two rides in this week, which is my goal, but I'll live. It was a good week overall.
I LOVE reading this thread, as everyone here is so darn motivated and energetic. Great accomplishments all. Thanks for motivating me. I dropped out of the weekly weigh-ins because my scale was erratic, but I'm anxious to start the next one. In the meantime, I thank you for this motivation!
I'd forgotten about this. It does help me to try to keep track and read everyone else's.
Let's see:
Sunday: Day off (worked all day).
Monday, Spinnervals on trainer: 60 minutes "aerobic work"; pushups and situps.
Tuesday, Spinervals on trainer: 45 minutes of hill work
