Fly's Countdown to Competition Log

I would run outside, but then I always pick the outdoors than the gym. also it depends on how far away the gym is and how busy it will be

Same here! It's nice to see another member who likes to be outside...ahhhh, fresh city smog.

The gym is pretty close but I absolutely love to be outdoors. Even if it is in the city, a run on the sidewalk is so much more interesting than the darn dreadmill!

Run....eh.....NO! I'm jealous of all you people who can run distances....I just can't do it.

Outside is beautiful, but then you're 10-20 degrees HOTTER than we are up here. Only about 70 today in the Northeast. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I agree totally, I get so bored on treadmills, they suck but they do in a pinch. Something so much more gratifing when you choose a destination outside and you make it!

OH hands down...running outside is MUCHO better then indoors on the treadmill...I get way TOO bored. When I am forced to be on a treadmill, I HAVE to do Intervals to keep my mind occupied!!

Wait wait wait! I said TUESDAY!

Depending on how I look/feel, I will post them earlier. We shall see.

Go on, you can do it!

Sorry to hear about your job - that sucks about the long hours - still not long to freedom!

So I ended up doing alpha cardio indoors afterall. It was fun!

Diet has been iffy all weekend. Busy and didn't eat enough or was stuck out elsewhere and made bad choices. Oh well...

I was supposed to work last night...and fully intended to do so, but the power went out at 2 AM. Power was out on my block from 2 AM to 2 PM. Lots of food trashed due to that. I went to the gym with high hopes that the power would be on when I got back at roughly 10:30, but to no avail. I had to run to my parents' place to shower and get ready for the day.

I went out to what was meant to be a lunch date and ended up spending 7 hours with the guy. Hanging with him made a terrible day get MUCH better.

Ok so...stupid question, but what is alpha cardio...I am intrigued by the sound of it.

You better watch that diet girl, we are in this together...

I am sorry to hear about your power - that SUCKS!! Spoiled food = not good!

Dang girl - a 7 hour lunch date...NICE JOB!! Is there a second "date" soon??

AWESOME!!!!!! I need one of those days... I like just hanging... What did you do? Or shouldn't I ask?

Alpha cardio is a modified HIIT session. So, you crank the treadmill up to a high incline and do sprints as hard as you can for 20 seconds. I run for 20 sec and rest for ~1 minute. I just step off on the side of the treadmill. When it's time to run again, I take off! Once you finish 20 minutes of that, you go straight into a moderate cardio session for ~35 minutes. It's killer!

I myself this AM. I had a scoop of whey and some pineapple and went for a session with the spinning nazi. She kicked my butt! I was soaked from head to toe by the time I was done.

A second date...I sure hope so! He said that he didn't think that he could wait until the weekend, so that I needed to have my schedule open for something one day during the week.

CK, I don't know if there is love or not quite yet...but this guy is VERY much what I want. We will see!

Treil! Not quite. I think I could really like this one, so I am going to be a good girl.
