The Return o the Running Thread!

[Pancho Villa]

I fell off the wagon for a bit. But I've found a good way to get cardio on those rough days: stick the kiddo in the wrap and hit the elliptical for a half hour. Works like a charm.

Today was rough, so I did just that. Rocks the baby to sleep and keeps the fat (slowly) coming off.

Brag about your run times/distances and encourage others in this thread.

Great idea!

I run my 10k's in just over an hour, and my only half was 2:18. My wife signed us up for a half again this year. My goals this year are to break 2 hours for the half, run a 10k in 51 or less (my age) and get in a total of 1000 miles this year. That's in addition to some long distance mountain biking races, too. I would not consider myself a "runner" by any means.

I need to get back after it. I was doing well in the weight loss department, about 40 lbs, but I've never been a distance runner so I'm going to keep those times to myself.

I did the Manitou Incline today. Twice.

Anyone want to meet up at red rocks once a week and do a few laps at the stairs?

I just need to get motivated...maybe this thread can help, since i'm fairly competitive. I'd like to lose 10-15lbs and tone up again, but mainly I need to get my endurance and cardio tolerance back up. I'm certain I'd be winded far too quickly and probably can't run a 5k without walking right now.... my PR back in high school was 17:49. I'd love to beat that when I'm in my 30's.

I might be down to do a red rocks run, but it's been a long time since my fatass had run

i hate running but it sure helps your fatass get into better shape

I absolutely hate running. The other day we went to the track and did 100m sprint, 50m jog, 200m sprint, 100m jog, etc up to 400m sprint for 2 miles. It's another 2 miles to get to the track, and another 2 back, which we ran.
I hate running.
