Hey Rich, great to see you back! I'm so glad to see things are going well! WTG! How far was that run anyway? And did you run on sand?!? Shock

...for 40 minutes???!! Wow

The only way I could do that would be on some hunky lifeguard's back! Devil

Heather · Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:53 am Post subject:

Congrats, that is awesome! Happy

As Heather said, that's a mighty fine effort! Lovely location too, by the looks of it. The lifeguards must have been on piggyback duty.

Heather · Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 8:11 am Post subject:

That is a nice looking beach. Yup

Now if only the snow would melt here.....

Well I am up to 4.6 miles running at a time. Lost 20lbs and feel good. When off the path for a while lost the weight but I feel I need to lower my carbs again as the cravings are coming back. May not be as extreme as I was and I need to watch my calories and eat during the day and not IF as that did not work for me! Sunny

Dean · Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 3:26 am Post subject:

Hey, Rich,

Sounds like you are doing great!

Congrats on the loss, and all that great exercise! Cool

sounds like youre doing some great stuff, rich Yup

I was doing Hal Higdon's Spring Training last year. Do you know who he is? It's a great program and has you go from like 1 mile to 6 miles running in 12 weeks. it's for beginners, but I got alot out of it.

http://www.halhigdon.com/spring/Springnovice.htm

Im more of a speed walking/mountain biking/hiking girl with a bit of basketball and volleyball mixed in Heart

but I would love to do a marathon or something one day

anyways.. hope you have a super great day! Sunny

Rich · Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:38 am Post subject:

I only run outside twice a week one long run on Saturdays and a shorter on Tuesdays (bout 2miles)

Being a bigger person (235lbs looking to get to 220) thats enough, I also do weights and Kung Fu so I keep busy.

It seems the low carbing is really kicking in as hunger is disappearing.

Mina, I use to play basketball all the time in school.

~mina~ · Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 4:51 am Post subject:

everybody was kung fu fighting!

very cool.

my lifting involves little turquoise handweights.. im a lightweight hehe.. although I do use some real weights for some exercises.

I really need to get more muscles in my shoulders and arms.. I think that would help alleviate some of the tension and pains I get in my neck/upper back at the end of the day Yup

I havent played ball since last year.. but ive been out of school a while Wink

theres a few places to play one on one around here.

anyways, richie rich, have a great day! feel free to drop by my journal Smile

Rich · Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 7:28 am Post subject:

Thanks for the invite and I will stop by by. Need any weightlifting tips let me know, one of my day jobs is a personal trainer.

My 9 year old did as well. We are going to our annual tournament next weekend where my son has won 4 gold medals the last 2 years. Sorry to brag about him, but i am so proud. If i can figure out how to show some video of him I will do it.
