1) What was your initial motivation for taking up running?
Mostly just to get fit and give my heart a good workout. Losing a couple of pounds is always a motivation…
2) Where you successful in meeting that goal?
Yep, I’m hooked. I go into withdrawal if 48hrs pass without a run…
1) What was your initial motivation for taking up running?
staying in shape, to exercise, to keep my body in top form!!!
2) Where you successful in meeting that goal?
sure i was!!! i love it & do a daily hour & a half workout!!! you should see my abs!!!
Except that running doesn’t tone the abs, you’d have to do other exercises for that… think crunches.
Curious: i do many other exercises other than running, just saying in general that i’m in top form!!! running go me into being an exercise fanatic so…..
crunches are half sit ups, right? how long do you stay in that position for?
p.s. although i didn’t do any running tonight, i made up for it with other exercises. i’m so proud of myself lol
I’d love to have your job that gives you so much time to exercise, run, blog…
dunno, if you’re fist getting back into running, then do not run every day. Space it out to every 2 days for the first few weeks. You do not want to injure your fatigued muscles.
Curious: don’t be too jealous there!!!!
curious: thanks for the tip. ill keep it in mind
how’s the weather in ireland today? warming up yet?
Thank everyone for posting those fitness bio’s. It’s great support to see other ppl’s approaches too! Keep it up! You should continue being active to have energy to do good things!
asdf – I feel the same way as Curious. I’d love a schedule with time for all that!
for the curious here, ab excersizes shape the muscles, though only weight loss will make them pronounced and visible…
Curious – You go girl!
Yoshi – You’re really on top of things there and having fluid goals is the way to go!
Ashreinu: well lucky for me that i get to put in less hours than most, because of my trust fund!!! btw i’ve never told anyone about my trust fund!!!
feel free to share that here:)
What happens inthe CR stays in the CR.
Ashreinu: yup What happens inthe CR stays in the CR!!!
asdf, how much do you have in your trust?
And if you don’t need to work so much, why do you post 4 am in the Irish morning?
Here we go…
I’d have to ask Joseph if Golden Flow really has such great financial benefits. 🙂
Bogen; it’s a lot of money!!! i post at crazy hours cause i only really need a good 2-3 hours of sleep!!!
Curious: they definitly don’t!!! my dead grandfather on the other hand is a differant story!!!
asdfghjkl-lol it sounded like you said your grandfather worked for golden flow
qwertyuiop: my dead grandfather definatly did not!!!
asdf, WOW, you INHERITED your truck driving position from Grandpa!?
Bogen: i did not!!! oh cut it out!!!
so how was everyone’s run today??? mine was amazing!!! how much water do you all drink daily & how much do you drink while running???? keeping hydrated is key!!!
asdf – if you really go for all those long runs you should be drinking electrolyte solutions not just water.
Curious; i used to drink lots of powerade, but they have lots of sugar so i stay away from them now!!! btw before the fast i had 64 fl oz of purple powerade!!! i should have gotten an iv, to put it straight in!!! now i drink close to a gallon of water daily!!!!
Have pity on your kidneys, please.
asd,wow that is a lot of water(!!!!!!!!!!!)
I love powerade and I drink it because I hate water so thats the only way I stay hydrated… but I agree the sugar aint too healthy
Curious: ha ha nice one!!!! ok!!!!!
Think hyponatremia.
beacon: have you even tried vitamin water??? i heard it’s healthier than powerade!!!
Curious: yikes i just googled it!!! my doc says it’s fine cause of my long workouts!!!
That’s just the point asdf. You lose salt in sweat and then when you rehydrate with water only, you’re just adding water without salt, thus leaving you at risk for low salt in your blood. This is only an issue on long runs. That’s why all marathoners are rehydrating with electrolyte solutions or they take salt tablets (never do the latter without your doc’s ok).
Yeah I drink Vitamin water too but its not as good..
yoshi; you goin????? i wish i could go!!!!
is this thread for runners only? how bout walkers
i’m the one that’s not so religious bout it but always wants to go… aim for 3-4 times a week; 45 min. to an hr
i enjoy the broad quiet streets as opposed to populated areas (of course)
my Adidas are great and i wish i can wear em everyd ay all day
the real runners are an inspiration to watch as they go by- keep it up an way to go!
areivim, you can post here since you’re a future runner!
Curious: i am a runner just to let ya know!!!
Rusty, where is there to run in Flatbush?
Joseph, just look out for the guy with the golden flow cap on ocean pkwy..
Joseph: lots of places!!!
rusty, name ’em!
wanna get specific asd?
prosect park, marine park, ocean parkway……
Try coney island boardwalk or west side highway 🙂
Or if you really wanna ruin your chances at a normal shidduch, go with belt parkway lol
NORMAL is no longer part of my vocab 🙂
i’ve even been to bell harbor boardwalk several times!!! it’s great there!!
Can anyone here define “normal”? I doubt any descriptions will be alike.
you’re right. ok MY definition of normal
belle harbor is great i can attest to that–but its not in bklyn! (15-20 minute drive)the boardwalk is usually quiet, not a soul around…
dont get too far into the lower numbers though, not too safe
prospect park is safe depending on when you go
the whole world is on ocean pkwy or in marine park
NORMAL: anything below you is too modern, anything above you too frum, but YOU are perfectly “normal”
