MizFit & Austin Marathon (giveaway post).

by

Subtitle: this blogger has me (AND Ren Man!) completely, wholly & utterly considering this race as a fitness goal. As a result I am, again, OFF AND RUNNING.

This one’s a short post.
A gift to myself.
Im living not blogging.
Taking care of my health.

My glutes from the ‘puter
Im peeling away.
Embracing the cool
(here in *mornings* anyway)

Today I am running.
(or wogging. we’ll see.)
Shakin’ up the workout.
MAKING time for me.

Im DOing not TRYing.
Not saying: I may run.
I’m pushing my limits
some OUTSIDETHEBOX fun.

Are you in a rut?
Are your workouts stale?
Are you on autopilot?
Does routine prevail?

Make it SHAKE IT UP Tuesday.
Just change something small.
Try this? Maybe this?
Doesnt matter at all!

If youre so inclined
Please to share below
You might just inspire
Some others you know!

Yes this is really me running. Yes this is how happy I look. Yes that look lasts for about 3.2 seconds.

YES.

I really think after eons of “I mightcould do that” 2010 will be my year to finally run a marathon.

In honor of that (and because I may not be nearly a marathon runner but I freakin ADORE my Dirty Red & wear it for everything) we have a giveaway.

From the aforementioned Dirty Red Gear.

a RED running skirt (I totally covet the red.) and a tech shirt.

You can be entered to win for the lowlow price of a comment below sharing how YOU will join me and shake up your Tuesday.

Please to hit us all up in the comments.

USA only. Winner announced Friday.

  1. Well, my Tuesday is almost gone, and it wasn’t shaken up too much. But I did spend a good part of the day outside which was really nice.

    Go, go MizFit Marathon!

  2. Well, you can leave me out of the drawing since I can’t quite fit into Dirty Red gear … yet! I just wanted to wish you well in your marathon training! When I trained for my half marathon, it was all wogging all the time. LOL That was actually about 3 years ago, and I was calling it wogging then. I didn’t realize I was such a trendsetter. 😉

  3. Miz,
    Welll…I’m thinking I should be left out of this give away too…as cool as that running skirt is…I’m pretty sure most people would look strange at me (and maybe call the authorities). Not that strange is a problem…in this case though, I’ll stick to shorts….

    Me? Well, I had a good hard workout yesterday, and this morning my body is sore! I had planned a bike ride, and then when I got up, I was leaning toward “no”. Now…I’m thinking the “shake it up” might be to get on that bike and ride anyway…

  4. Yeah, you wouldn’t want to see me in that skirt either.

    I think it is so cool that you’re planning the marathon, and am so looking forward to some more running content on Mizfit!

    That is a great photo – you certainly seem to have the style going ! Now all you gotta do is keep the mood going for 4 hours (?) rather than 3.2 seconds!

  5. That’s hilarious! I was planning my first ever “Try Something New Tuesday” post for today! Ummm…great minds think alike?!

    Good for you for shaking it up-variety is the spice of life!

  7. Are you on autopilot?
    Does routine prevail?

    YES!!!!

    How did you know? 🙂

    Although today might not be my day as I’m a little food hungover.

    Maybe on Wednesday 🙂

  8. Miz, is that you running outside without reading a trashy magazine?!!! I’m shocked! LOL!!! 🙂

    I’m shaking up this Tuesday with a dance rehearsal!

  9. LOL @ RickyRae as I had the same thought when I read you are doing a marathon:

    Where will the Star Magazine go?!

    Are you going to write about it for us?
    I’m a nonrunner and never plan to run but think it would be interesting to read about anyway.

  11. Go Carla! I love the 3.2 second happy look…boy can I relate to that! I am really looking forward to reading about your marathon training, as I’m in the *thinking* process of a 5K (see what running a mile will do to you?!?).

    I like the Dirty Red gear – even saw a much cooler headband then the one I’m currently rockin! And a running skort? Very cool!

  12. I’m jealous as I don’t think I could ever get my boyfriend to run with me.

    Do you think you will do the full?

    The half?

  13. I love this stretch goal of yours, Miz. I have a few goals of my own swirling around in my head at the moment. Your marathon training is inspiring me to put my thoughts into action.

  14. I’m going to yoga today after a short run. I have been trying to add yoga in once a week because I know the extra stretching is good for me. I don’t stretch nearly enough!
    Someone just asked me this weekend if I wanted to run the Austin Marathon. I’ve done halves before and don’t know if I really want to run that distance…

  15. Shake up a Tuesday! haha…hmm…hadn’t thought about it. I will get going on the few challenges I wanted to go with.
    GO MIZFIT GO!!! 🙂 Good for you!

  16. Welcome to the world of “I’m crazy and decided to run a marathon”! I ask myself WTF I was thinking every weekend… 🙂

    Hmm, it’s my strength day today, but to shake it up I think I might try some new moves.. or throw in some jump rope for cardio in between sets! (That’s big, I hate jump rope.)

    Good luck!

  17. peeking in as I get the day going & plan what I can do with the MIL today (thoughts? ;)).

    As far as the running I think Ren Man may have already dropped out on me—–we’ll see.

    Me? I’m just running.

    I do have a training program targeted @ Austin on 2.14.09 but for the most part I’m NOT focusing on the larger looming goal but on running.

    On the next 30 days of getting this to be a habit.

    (Call Morgan Spurlock)

  18. Back in May, I signed up for a half marathon even though I had never ever ever run in my life. So now I have to train for it. Which P.S., requires running. I hate running, but I *do* love the challenge it provides. It’s hard work for me.

    Today is a run day for me, but I’m already talking myself out of it. So that means I’m really going to need an extra mental push from myself. Even though it’s nasty humid out, I will go. Even though I already don’t want to go. I’m going to shake things up by simply sticking to my plan and run anyway. So I’m going into my day with this thought:

    “This is for me. Not anyone else. No one can make me do it. No one can do it for me. I need to do this for me!”

  20. Today is a forced active rest day. Forced, because I want to run. Active rest, because yesterday’s 10k was very hilly, and I should be kind to my knees with a long puppy walk, instead.

    I can’t wait to follow your training for the Austin Marathon or Half. I’m signed up for three half marathons this autumn (including one on Halloween – how much fun could that be?), plus took the leap last week way out of my comfort zone, and signed up for the ING Georgia Marathon in March 2010. Still studying training plans to put together something which will work for me. It’s rather daunting.

    please, Please, PLEASE, let the random number generator pick me for this give away. With the side slit, my long run legs would look awesome in that skirt. And since it’s red, I’m pretty sure it will make me superhero fast.

  21. I don’t comment frequently and wanted to today to share a thought.

    I hope you take this the right way.

    I read the title to your post and initially thought:

    Oh great. Miz has become another blogger I can not relate to. Won’t be reading her much now.

    I want to lose close to 80 pounds and running a marathon will never ever be in my future.

    After I read your poem (love it!) I realized it doesn’t have to be a marathon for me.

  22. Whoo hooo! Look at you go with your running self!
    Training for a Marathon – so exciting!

    I plan to shake it up, but not til tomorrow! For 2 years, I have been exercising alone in my dungeon(basement) or outdoors (walking and running). But, this year, I decided to join a gym and be out amongst the people! I start tomorrow…and I’m petrified…but, excited,too!

  24. School started today, and I find myself in a quiet house by 7:15. I think there is exercise in my near future.

    I already have a cute Dirty Red outfit 😛 But for those of you who don’t? It’s awesome stuff and fits nicely and I don’t have what one would call an athletic build.

    Lance, couldn’t you just call it a modest running kilt?

    🙂

  25. actually, while that skirt wouldn’t fit me yet, it would be so cute for my daughter who is shaking things up by joining the sports teams at school. Today she’s joining basketball, just because volleyball doesn’t start until spring. GO DAUGHTER!!!! and go role modelmama, Kate!

    I’m not so much “shaking it up” as “shaking loose” today. I’m heading back to my pool routine as much as possible, having freed myself of some of my transportation concerns by buying a monthly bus pass …something I’d considered a waste of money in the past since I have my own car, but transportation I can more easily afford with gas prices what they are.

    anyway, my daughter and I dream of a 5K this spring… so running may well be in my future, too… just to see if I actually CAN.

  26. Ive been longing to get one of these for a review for a WHILE Lance.

    maybe youd be successful?

    (and yes. for the husband not for me):

    http://www.utilikilts.com/

    and Nelda? YOU NAILED IT.
    it’s all about your own personal marathon.

    we talk about that a lot around here.

    My personal marathon (figuratively) started with losing weight.
    then shifted to hoisting iron.
    then (much to my SHOCK) was me competing.

    Where this running thing may end up is a figurative marathon for me.

    I may not hit 26.2 but Im sure as hell gonna try.

  27. Yeah, I thinking I would not at all look good in a running skirt! 🙂 Please leave me out of the giveaway pool. The race looks awesome though. I have got to work on that myself.

  28. Since my injured knee seems to be better now, I’m going to switch up my walking and biking routine by adding in running and intervals – very exciting! 🙂

  29. Hello Tuesday!! I am going to work out today, for the first time in weeks. I’ve been “trying” for too long now…today is the day I DO it.

    Thank you Miz for once again being the safe place for me to get my head on straight. 🙂

  30. Go see Ponyo w MIL!

    So frickin excited for your running goal. You *know* I will be there to cheer
    You on everyday and even play drill sargeant when u need it 😉

    Today A & I are running “free” (her word) by the pier.

    I want that skirt for my SD marathon dang it!! Frickin HOT!

  31. I say go for it! Good for you! I am like you, I am not a cardio fan BUT I do a lot of it. I always surprise myself when I get thru the cardio session! I have done 5k’s in the past but nothing more than that once my knees started to hurt cause I get too competitive in a race. 🙂

    Well, I already shook up my Tuesday since my workout is done. I tend to push too hard so I actually cut a bit of time off my cardio but I was feeling good so I pushed in some spots. I also did a cool chest workout with the cable machine & the large swiss ball as a bench. Loved it!

    Not sure a marathon is in my future but I never say never!

    Love that Dirty red gear. Never heard of it!

  32. I was thinking about this very topic this morning while discussing workout plans with a co-worker. Normally on Tuesday, I hit the elliptical trainer at the gym. But today I am stepping outside my comfort zone and taking a new class (possibly two).

  33. you are halfway to a phoon in that pic … tell the truth 😀

    you are poetry in motion today!

    can you please move to Canada for a second or two? i’m starting to feel left out here 🙁

  34. I’m slowly getting back into running. In college, I hurt my knee pretty badly, and running was out of the question for a while. But I’ve been going to the gym with BK (and the gym we joined doesn’t have a rowing machine), and hate the bike, elliptical, and stepper.

    I lasted 4 minutes. Which is 3 minutes and 30 seconds longer than my last attempt. I’m calling it progress.

  35. I love that notion of my own personal marathon.

    Today it is powerwalking for 20 minutes.

    Happy Tuesday all!!

  36. I love Dirty Red stuff! I’m in the marathon camp with you, Miz! I’m signed up to do a half in December, and am scraping up the cash to register for the Mardi Gras marathon in Feb. This is my second half and will be my first full. I’m excited.

    Today is strength training for me, so I’m going to shake it up by doing lots of new moves instead of the routine old ones I’ve been doing for ages. And since I work out in my own home, I like to start my workout by warming up to some music. Imagine me jumping around and dancing like a fool, and you’ve got a Gena-style warmup.

  37. Cute skirt!

    This attitude is a good one to have- that you’re working towards something and the marathon itself may or may not happen but it’s the journey that you’re making toward it that’s the important thing.

  38. I’m shaking it up by starting a new job today… thankful for that, even if I’m nervous. 🙂 HAVE A GREAT DAY!! I love that youre thankful as well as nervous. Back in the day I read a book (Stress for Success I think?) which said that our bodies interpret STRESS and ANXIETY the same way as EXCITEMENT and we can CHOOSE which way to view it. Those words changed my life.

  39. Love running skirts and mine is actually getting too big! 🙂
    I am going to mix it up by walking today. I haven’t gotten any run/walking in lately – sticking to indoor stuff like a step class, yoga, or kettlebells. Today, hopefully outside, will be cardio!

  40. LOL!! I don’t look happy running for even that long! I do look happy when I’m finished 🙂

    Have fun, don’t run on hard surfaces too much while training, wear good cushioned shoes. Cost does not equal good, you can find decant shoes that are not too expensive, For what it’s worth, I like Asics if they are not too narrow for you, or Brooks.

  44. Yay!! MizFit is running!
    (no need to enter me in for the drawing as I did get the Dick’s GC – I just wanted to cheer you on!)

  45. I am going to mix it up today with a walk to the park, some tag with the kids, and maybe a bike ride. Its hard to say, but it is a day off from work. I think I might sign up to run in a race this weekend as well.

  46. Good luck with your running program! I highly recommend joining a training group like AustinFit or Galloway. They’ll keep you motivated, show you the popular local running routes, and provide you with training plans.

    My current fitness challenge is to work on alignment issues so I can end my hip pain and make an attempt at Ironman. I’ve wanted to do it for so long, but there’s just no way it’s possible until I get this hip issue resolved, and sadly, PTs, chiro, and massage therapists have been no help. Luckily, I know what the problem is, and I think I can fix it myself if I just stay motivated. 🙂

  48. shaking it up today….my first volleyball practice with a new team…8th grade girls. How’s that for outofmybox experience? 🙂 i always work out with them a bit…

  50. I’m focusing on Yoga and pilates this week in an effort to take care of my mind and my body which both need a tune-up! Now that fall is coming, I am gearing up to start wogging outside for the first time!

  51. I have no doubt you can do a marathon in 2010. In fact, where do we place our bets? My money’s on YOU.

    I’m shaking up my Tuesday by…getready…doing housework! Real housework. I even dragged out my m-o-p!

  53. Today for me I went to my trainer even though I had taken a week and a half off of training due to my hip (I totally could have trained but I got lazy). And I’m going to change up my cardio tonight since I can’t run still. Its not an excuse to get in exercise just because I can’t do my favorite thing.

    And I had delicious coffee too 🙂

  54. All this running talk on the web, along with cooler weather, has got me going! Last night I went out for a quick RUN before it got dark, and I just might do it again today!

  55. Wow, that’s a cute skirt. I never thought I’d like those things but they are great when it’s humid and my normal shorts try to rub a hole through my thighs. I’m changing it up today by listening to my body (I felt pretty crappy yesterday and this morning) and NOT running. This would have never happened before. I ran no matter what. But I’m taking it easy today and I already feel better!

  56. Does chocolate cake for breakfast count as “shaking things up”?

    Actually today I start doing 2 a days. Breaking up my workouts in to 2 segments. And I just may do real sprints outside with the border collie.

  57. Skorts are back in style. Yessss!

    Shaking things up with a new routine involving BURPEES and MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS. Holy s**t, those are heart stompers.

    Nice running face, btw. Mine looks more like one of those applehead dolls you see at craft fairs.

  58. Oh no! I JUST TOLD SOMEONE I didn’t know if I’d ever run another marathon – and now you’ve got me rethinking it. Why why why would I do that to myself? Perhaps to have a lovely 3.2 second running face like yours?? Perhaps because I need to get this last few lbs. off my a**??? Perhaps…

  59. I also covet the red. 🙂 Today I am going to not be intimidated by the unknowns I face at work and to be strong and confident and powerful. Oh yeah, and my hour run after but that’s easy-peasy.

    I’m thinking about doing that race too but the half portion (if that’s the same race – the one on V-day). I wanted to get one more half under my belt before attempting a full marathon.

  60. Your post had me smiling today and I needed the uplift!

    I have had only 2 hours of sleep today and got some news that I didn’t want to receive, but despite all that to “shake up Tuesday”…I’m still going to the gym! Because of the lack of rest, I will take a nap and then work out for at least 30 minutes.

  61. I’m shaking it up today by running a different route – with two friends!! 🙂 Running is always more enjoyable with new stuff to look at and new people to talk to!!

  62. Congrats on your decision! 2009 is the year that I’m running my first AND LAST marathon (October 10). I just want to do it before I am married and have children…but I’ll stick to kinder, friendlier distances from October 11 until the day I can no longer carry myself across the finish line.

    For shake it up Tuesday, I am going to do yoga! I’ve only done it a handful of times, so this is major.

  63. Yay running! I am all about embracing the self-loving pace.

    Today I have a tempo run. I will “shake it up” by . . . . ummm . . . . pretending that I am wonder woman?
    telling myself silly stories about my fellow joggers?
    trying powerade after the run (instead of gatorade . . . which I hate, but feel safe with)?

  64. today was my first day going back to school. i biked down to class and back. I hope to make it a regular event! i was proud of myself and the 4.5 miles each way is a fabulous workout when there isn’t much time to do much else!

  65. So I just spent WAAAYYY too much time checking out the Dirty Red stuff. How have I never heard of them before?? I love that winged t-shirt. And I love that you are peeling your blogger butt away from the computer for some fun time:) I will be following your example shortly!

  66. Today had enough shake-ups on its own, with my big 5-yr old heading off for his first day at kindergarten!! We had planned to walk, but the rain put an end to that plan. Anyway, today was a day off from my running — I am currently training for Marine Corps Marathon coming up in just 46 days!!! I’m going to have to get more creative with fitting in my training, since I return to full time work next week. Yikes!

  67. Yay Miz!!! Great goal on tackling a marathon. You can do it!!! I can’t wait to hear about your training!

    As for me shaking up my day, I believe I will go out and buy some new running shoes and take them for a run!

  69. You go Miz! Running a 26.2 or even a 13.1 will TOTALLY change your life and attitude toward things!

    I’m back in the game, planning on running Htown’s in January.

  70. Hooray for marathons! I want to say that I will join you in 2010, but I’ll have another little one hanging off my back.
    Hopefully I can join you in the half? 😉

  71. You go girl! and I hope to see you out there running! So, excited to hear you are running the Austin Marathon!! It will be a blast! Practice running North on Exposition! It’s a bear!
    My shake up is that I am going to start doing Yoga at Kula Yoga after the great free yoga day that I tried yesterday!!

  72. I shook up my weekend routine by spending the days on a home improvement project – painting finished and wood floors installed in two rooms! I’m shaking up today by taking the afternoon off to rest after the flurry of activity (I forgot how exhausting house projects can be!). And I’m shaking up my workout routine this week by adding a body pump class, after a suggestion last week.

    I’m cheering you on as you train for your marathon! GO MIZFIT!

  73. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN-tastic!!!!

    I’m so excited that you are considering the marathon! Woo hoo! I’ve only run one but it was a life-affirming experience. Running is my passion and I just hope, hope, hope you get to the point where that happy running face lasts longer than 3.2 secs 🙂 You will!!!

    As for shaking it up . . . OK, yeah, I’ll get back to push ups. They worked well for me and then I dropped them. 3 sets of 20 after my run!

  75. Im totally not having a panic attack that Ive committed to this publicly.

    totally not.

    or much of one anyway 🙂

  76. I signed up for an 8K in November 🙂

    This will be my first race ever… I’m nowhere near a fighting weight yet, but I’m confident that training for this race will help me to get to losing once again…

    Happy Tuesday!!!

  78. This tuesday is a great day to be shaken up because tomorrow is my birthday! I never bake during the week but I’m going to bake myself a delicious treat that I can enjoy tomorrow with friends and family. Thanks for the opportunity

  80. Whew! That is one heck of a stretch goal, Miz! But you know, having read some blogs of really long-distance running people, I learned that people I think of as really hard core runners do not necessarily run the whole distance of a race. That was quite a revelation to me. Not sure there’s a whole marathon in my future, but I’m tempted to try a half marathon next year sometime. Maybe…depends on how the tri goes and whether I want to pursue more of those next year instead. Or maybe both!

    That said, I haven’t run in over a week. :-/ I did a whole hour of yoga on Friday instead of the usual cardio stuff (inspired by the yoga post!). It’s a busy week with school volunteering (library inventory time!) and Thing 1’s birthday stuff, so it’s going to be a light workout week for me. I’m going to be walking at lunch instead of going to the gym for most of the week…kind of a nice break!

  81. SO SO impressed with your desire to do a marathon. The skirt will look great on you while your train.

    Thank you for always inspiring us to be more FIT and to be our unique selves………………

    You are the best!!

  82. Ummm, I took back the crappily printing ink cartridge from my printer [1/2 used] and had them give me a new one in hopes the craptastic printing will end and that it was just a flawed cartridge …. That’s not something I would have done before. I would have just bought another.

    I’m working on some short stories, which is out of my zone, too. The novel is my thing. Has a whole different flow from the short. So, there’s that.

    Working on my networking … also outside my comfort zone.

    I bought some apriums …. yeah, not a stellar health shake up. My white noise machine is great. I slept very soundly last night. So, there we go.

  83. I’m so impressed that you are training for the marathon! I look forward to updates along the way!
    I would like to sign up for the Austinfit training next year.

  84. Ah I couldn’t really shake up my tuesday, I had to deal with school-related stuff (visa etc. x_o)… I went shopping properly for the first time in like 13 months, cause I actually had money. Does that count? ahaha a lot of walking hehe

    Well I’m planning to sign up with a running group when I go to Cardiff. They have so many sports clubs there (seriously, they have a mountaineering club. SO JOINING); I don’t have an excuse really.

    good luck with the marathon miz <333

  86. oh i LOVE Nicol and Dirty Red (isn’t she just the most amazing person ever!!!)

    LOVE THE SKIRT!!! Wish I had one!!! (Please Random Numberman Please!)

    I have found a new love in the form of the triathlon because there is so much mixingitup going on, and it’s so much more attainable than anyone (or me) ever thought!! if you bike and your run, all you have to do is a little swimming and then put em all together, see? good stuff!

  87. My 11 year old daughter and I shook it up tonight by playing tennis! We aren’t too good but we had a great time, running around, laughing, and attempting to hit the ball over the net! What a fun way to work out and hang out with my kid!

  88. Too funny – the Austin Marathon is one of the two I’m considering to do next year as well!!! We’re just trying to figure out transportation and vacation time. :o)

    I don’t think Hubs is ready for me to get all girly and excited about meeting the famous MizFit at a marathon. LOL

  89. WooHoo! Well, its too late to shake up my Tuesday, because its 11 pm, but I’m shaking up Wednesday! My school just started(I teach) but my daughter is starting Middle school Wednesday. I”m taking off to see her off in the morning. I was going to drop her off, but we’re going to WALK together! Imagine…she’s 12 and still wants me and my totally dysfunctional fitness queen body to accompany her to her new school.
    I will put on my new workout sneaks and be present for my beautiful daughter…and for myself.

  91. I’m going to try a group fitness class that intimidates me: Turbo Kick. Whenever I watch it through the glass wall, I am amazed by the boundless energy and detailed choreography exhibited by the participants. I’ve always had a slight problem ‘getting’ choreography…but I’m going to give the class a whirl. If you see a girl looking totally lost and confused, don’t laugh!

  92. I have decided 2010 will be my year for a half marathon. I just started running a few months ago and cannot believe I actually am starting to feel like I could do it.

    Running has shaken up my world and shook up my Tuesday. I went for a 3 mile run this morning and my body wanted more so I did 4.12. I have never ever been good about listening to by body and running has taught me to do just that. I can feel when to push now and when I need to pull back.

    You will rock a marathon – go for it!

  93. I’m shaking up tomorrow (Wed) by *gasp* taking the day off! I rarely take days off, and this body needs it!

  96. I too have never been a runner, and always wanted to get more into it. I did at one point, for a short period of time, but I had actually, already planned to enjoy the fall weather with more runs through the mountains, so I shall, and sign up for the 10K in Lausanne! Woooo!

  97. Wow, a marathon! My shake up today was my 100th consecutive day of exercise. I walked with a friend on our local coastal trail for about 4 miles. I think I could wrap my head around a 5k or maybe even a 10k with training, but a marathon? I guess I need to start with a 5k…

  98. Never ran a marathon-I run for fun and because how good it makes me feel. I just don’t get how running with a bunch of other people,elbowing and racing their way in front of you, would be a fun thing. I do get the feeling of accomplishment would be good though…maybe one day.

  99. I LOVE the skirt! And red is HOT!

    Sorry I missed Shake It Up Tuesday, but I’ll be shaking up my Wednesday this afternoon with my playground workout. While my kids play on the jungle gym I’ll be running laps with intervals of push-ups, pull-ups on the monkey bars, and tri-cep dips. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, but the weather here has been too hot and muggy for outdoor workouts. I’m looking forward to exercise in the great outdoors!

  100. You can definitely do a marathon. Look into Jeff Galloway Marathon training. It has a run/walk combination.

    And I absolutely love my running skirts. I have even bought a few cycling skirts. I alway get comments on them.

  101. I too missed shake up Tuesday but will make it up today my going to a boot camp class being offered at my gym.

    Good luck with the marathon!

    A few years ago I was interested in running and had even participated in a few 5K fun runs in Chicago. They were a blast, but I’ve always had trouble with running. For some reason I do not get enough breath intake (I’ve tried counting methods, stride methods to no avail). ACL reconstruction and a broken ankle (along with not getting that breathing thing) have kind of stopped me from picking it up again. Maybe I’ll have another go at it.

  102. About this running thing…
    I’ve tried it a few times and like how much sweat pours off me but I am in total body agony for about 4 days after. Every muscle…even ones I didn’t know about ache and I can barely walk. Any advice??

  103. That would be great if you did the Austin Marathon!

    I shook up my Tuesday by trying yoga after lifting weights. It’s hard with tired arms!

  104. I just put MY little tornado in preschool…which has forced me to shake up my workout routine, seeing as his preschool starts right smack in the middle of my normal group fitness classes. So now I’m getting up as early to get in the workout first!

  106. I’ve added in one day of Yoga/Pole Dancing/Kayaking/Etc. to mix things up and ensure that I am cross training while running for my 1/2 Marathon in October. I’m so proud of you for this new goal!

  107. YOU SO CAN DO IT!! You can run that marathon, you look awesome running. 🙂 My goal for 2010 is to run a Half-Marathon. 🙂 I’m GOING to do it, no trying, no maybe’s, just DOING it. 🙂 I’m excited for 2010

  111. well we put our house up for sale tuesday!! but i don’t plan on doing tha tweekly, so how about if tuesdays are my new pilates day! I have been doing yoga, so I’d like to test out the pilates workout

  112. Interestingly enough, my routine’s been shaken up in the *exact* opposite direction. I hurt my ankle. So I can’t run. So I’ve instead been hitting the elliptical trainer. Talk about different!

    p.s. I ran a mile on Monday and my ankle handled it fine 😀

  113. Miz, go for the full marathon. I am a 260lb runner, who was a former 320lb NFL football player. I am gearing up for a half marathon in Atlanta on Thanksgiving. For all you that are thinking of running, the hardest part in getting out of the door. Give it your best & enjoy every step!

  114. Hello there, just doing some research for my Acer website. Truly more information that you can imagine on the web. Wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but nice site. Have a nice day.
