About 6 months ago I took a poll to see who exercised frequently.  Lets check in again to see who had the will-power to maintain.

Fdiron
Main form of exercise- Running (3 to 8 mile runs four to seven times a week).  My running has suffered as a result of college though.

Secondary form of exercise- Manual laborer at UPS.

I only run when:

1.) Being chased by the police
2.) A beer truck goes by
3.) when flying a P-51

wait a sec, I don't fly the 51, hmmm go figure. :D

Was doing 4 times a week, 3.5 miles.  Cut back to 3 times a week, 3.5 miles to accomodate playing more volleyball.  I can't do both in the same day, and need a day to recover after a tournament or long race.

Last night I ran 13 miles in 1:30:57. The night before I ran 12 miles. You could say I am serious. ;)

I have a group of guys I am pulling together to train for sub-17 minute 5Ks in the spring.

I can drive 5k in under 17 minutes.


Actually I walk 2x a day with my dog, I teach my daughter basketball almost every day (she signed up for the freshman team), and I have dropped almost 10 lbs. over the past 6 months. Currently 6'1" and about 215lbs.

5 or 6 out of every 7 days I do 5-6 miles in about 1:05 to 1:15. That's some quick walking mixed with jogging. All this done with a Polar Heart Monitor strapped on so that I stay in the 70-75% aerobic zone.

Much more running than that and my knees start barking. But not as much as the dogs if I don't take them along when I go. ;)

Some bicycling thrown in additionally on the nice days. Schwinnn AirDyne on the rainy days... boy the dogs HATE that. They see my legs moving but we ain't going anywhere. They watch about 2 minutes and go lay down somewhere.

no thanks

just 30 min of yoga in the am really helps out my lower back - suggest it to anybody

oh yeah, don't try to put the dog on the treadmill - my experiment almost broke her legs :)
