Sarah Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'd like to keep a journal on here to keep track of things. Hopefully I'll remember to update it fairly regularly.Today I wasn't feeling to hot so I only ran 2 miles.(Yes, I use miles :oops: Canadians use km's out here. But I just find it easier for myslef to keep track of it in miles)Im heading to the gym tomorrow after work. I think it's leg day again :? I'm going to really bad at keeping track of what goes on in the gym. I'm not that great at what the workouts are called. I just do them.

BigBob Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 LOL! I came from the UK where we use miles, then over here in K's, I grossly misjudge distances!!Keeping a record of your wokrouts (even if you don't know al the 'correct' terms is very useful for tracking your progress, noticing things that don't work, etc... Plus, if you post it up here, you get lots of tips, tricks and motivation from the other board members! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Well done with the journal, it is good to get you organised and motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hehehe... I'm a metric guy through and through. It all fits together so neatly! 1 litre of water = 1000 cubic centimetres = 1 kilogram. Simply beautiful. Anyway, welcome to the board. What are your goals?

Sarah Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks everyone!Goals, to lose more weight, get my mileage back up and definitely increase my strength!I'll slowly attempt to make an effort in moving towards the metric system. I should use be using it! I am surprised at how much America has influenced me . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I used a link I found on the page to help with the names of some exercies.For leg day I did: seated calf raises, leg press and dumbell lunges. The lunges were horrible. My balance is seriously off. I've been having an earache lately. Should prolly get that checked out. I also did some seated dumbell curls, ball crunches and some other stuff. But I consider this to be extremely detailed . . . Some people at the gym are hilarious! I was trying to hard not to laugh at this one guy :? I was impressed with myself, last time on leg day I could only do 12 reps but today I managed 15.I would of liked to stay longer but my brother said he was tired but I think he really wussed out. But I wouldn't tell him that . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 No as much pain from leg day as I had anticipated. I suppose that's a good thing.Agh! I'm really stressed out right now. Anyways. I wanted to go out for a run this morning but IT SNOWED :? I attempted some pilates, but I'm not feeling up for that atm. So I guess I'll take a look around for my yaktraks, a toque and head out into the cold. Stupid snow.Hmmm I found an online converter. I plan on running 4 miles so it says that's 6km.I should feel better after a run. It's been a very long and draining day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I only did 2.5 miles it was way to cold out. Good news I found my yaktraks and toque (which is 4km) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 When I was living in Bristol, England...this Welsh chick thought I was a Canadian because I kept saying (eh bro!) to my english mates, this is after the ABs beat the crap outta the Welsh rugby team and I was wearing my All Blacks Jersey!!!!!....But that wasnt as bad as being asked by an Australian chick.."So where abouts from Australia are you from?"

Sarah Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks Jono, I hope that you are feeling better.I had intened on going to the the track on Saturday after work but that didn't happen because I worked 5 hours of overtime. So I went straight to bed after coming home. I played tennis for about an hour and a half yesterday afternoon, it was approz. 5 degrees, sunny and the snow has pretty much melted away. So it was quite nice.It's gym day today . . . I hope I'll have a good session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Updates? You can't handle updates. JK :wink: I only went to the gym twice this week, and I can't remember what I did right now. I think I need to take a break from the gym right now I'm not feeling to good atm.I've had a couple of runs, they haven't been that great.So for now, I guess I'll just do some running if I feel up to it. And maybe dust off my jump rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I went to the gym this morning, too lazy to type what I did. But my lifts were up.Pretty much just came home from a run. I got in 6.5 miles. And boy did I ever need it. Nothing clears my head like a good run and nice hot shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 good run there about 10 km I believe. what time are you covering that distance in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have no clue of the time. I'll watch it next time. I more concerned about distance right now than time.Life has been extremely hectic so there hasn't been much time to hit the gym. But I've been able to get out for some runs. I suppose I've been averaging between 3.5 and 5 miles. So yeah that's about it for now. Hopefully things will calm down soon. I just gotta get through the next two weeks.
