Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Lyssie, I don't know what starting time you made for me as my PB benchmark b/c I never gave you a 5k time. Did you put me down for my 4 mile time? Whatever you did, here's new info:

5k today: 38:20
Went on to finish the 4 miles, for a total time of 51:00.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

I walked/jogged my 3.1 miles today. My time was 38.5 minutes, down from 40 minutes. I'm pretty happy with that.

On one of the days, I tried running for a bit...what on earth was I thinking??? I obviously have no idea how to run and breathe at the same time! LOL

I'm hoping to wean myself completely from walking and doing the entire distance with jogging, but that will take awhile. Right now, doing intervals is working well.

Tomorrow, I'm off to the gym to get my max reps. Hopefully something has improved.

Old 5K time 38:42
Today's 5k time 36:50

That was last time, this time:

Old 5K time 36:50
New 5K time 36:20

30 second improvement. Is that 3 points?

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Wow everyone, some real progress going on here! Well done!

I need to get going with the weights - and alas I can't make it to bodypump for the next 10 weeks because of my new timetable. Grr...

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

OK, I discovered this morning that I've been bamboozled all this time! The indoor track that I've been using is not 6 laps per mile but 8!!! That means my times are null & void for the 5K.

I will redo my walk/job time this Saturday. I was too ticked off this morning.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Bio, that sucks!!!!

I'm feeling that extra 5 lbs on chest flyes from my workout the other day. Wooo-Weee I'm sore!!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Congrats to everyone who's kicking butt and taking names. Please send me whatever superhuman substances you're using, because I need to rack up some points, ASAP.

Great job, ladies!

Oh yeah, American Gladiators...with those tacky patriotic costumes...and names like Nitro and Blaze. And let's not forget those big Q-tips...what was that called? The Pugilist competition?

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Congrats you guys!!!

Bio - I'm sorry, that totally sucks.

Adena - I used your 3 mile time for one, do you want me to keep it as that or switch it over to 5k time??

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

No worries...I'm totally over it now. What doesn't kill me will make me stronger, right? Or in this case, faster!

[Lyssie]

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Wow, you have a healthier way of looking at it than I would!!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Well, this morning, I was really p!ssed off! LMAO But thankfully, I don't stay mad for long. Not good for ya.

I'm trying to guess how much time 6 laps and a smig will add to my time? Another 20 minutes or so?

[Lyssie]

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

It'll probably only add like a minute or 2, just pretend that the carb monster is chasing you for those last 2 laps!!

[biogeek]

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

I'm thinking it'll be longer than that. I mostly walk with a few moments of brain-jostling from my unique form of jogging. Maybe if I visualize the carb monster chasing me, I'll learn how to run lickity-split.

Here's an update on my weight-lifting:

Breast busters (aka: Bench press) - 55 pounds (+5 pounds!)
Skullcrushers!! - 35 pounds (no change)
Frogger (aka Leg press) - 170 pounds (+10 pounds)
Butt Blasters (aka Squats) - 110 pounds (+10 pounds)
Atlas tryouts (aka Military press) - 35 pounds (no change)

That's a total of 25 pounds worth of improvement. So that makes me a happy camper and makes up for the running.
