Lämmchen's Workout Thread

I walk around all day at Walmart....does that count as a workout? Lol

It was pretty chilly out today. I swapped out my T-shirt for one of my tops with wind proofing across the torso. I have two of them but the zipper is jammed on one. I hope I can fix it (or find someone to fix/replace the zip), those tops are expensive.

Well today is even colder...brr!! It's only 29 this morning and probably will only be 40 for a high. My husband is off work today and wants to go hiking, but I need to think about which places would be warmest. If it's windy we need trees to shield us, but if it's not, then we need sun.

You betcha! You need a step counter to see how much you do in a day!

I walked in the howling winds, although I put some extra layers on first. Yesterday I ran in a windproof top, today I walked in three layers. The wind was pretty intense for the most exposed parts of the route, but still not as cold as the worst of last winter.

Brave you! We tried going to the park to walk yesterday, but wow, we could only do a mile because the conditions were a little too scary with the wind and I was freezing.

Some of my route is shielded from the wind. Much of it is very exposed. Last year there were days when I was walking into 50mph wind gusts and wrapped in half a dozen layers. That really wasn't much fun.

You're dedicated, that's for sure! I tend to wimp out at times.

Dedicated, stupid, sometimes I wonder which.

Today's walk was warmer than yesterday but still some pretty intense winds. I think the gusts were somewhere around 35mph according to my weather app. I can believe it, there were times when it felt like pushing into the wind.

It's sunny outside this morning, so I'm going to make the attempt to get to the park.

Yesterday I didn't have time to run hard so did a gentle run. Today I had time and the wind stopped howling so I got to pace harder than I have in a while. Still a good bit slower than my PB pace but got a nice 10k in.

We went hiking and did 3 huge hills yesterday, so today my thighs are feeling it!! I wanted to find a different way around the pond that wasn't sketchy since the way we were going was to hike precariously along a ridge, climbing over fallen tree branches. I saw people with children and dogs on the trail and didn't know how they went around that area, but yesterday we found it. Yay!!

A walk today in howling winds. My weather app said the gusts were 43mph and I believe it.

We walked in the winds too...it was really difficult to move forward!! Today it's less windy and we're going to the trails near the dam to walk, about 4 miles.

It's always interesting when the wind gusts and it's a constant effort to walk in a straight line because it's trying to blow me sideways off the road. Or when it's an effort to make any progress at all into a massive headwind.

The gusts are supposed to be down to a mere 25mph today. I hope the forecast is right, I'm getting tired of the wind.

The wind was very cold today, but I got my walk in anyway.

It felt like a secondary workout playing with electrics in my house too, up and down stairs so many times it wasn't funny, and shifting flooring sheets around in the attic so I could get at the space to run a new cable.

We did a walk yesterday, but I was freezing for some reason. When we got home, I ate dinner and went to bed for 4 hours!! I was so cold and tired. I don't understand it because I'm perfectly fine today.

Really badly disturbed night last night so I was happy to take an easier run today. 4 miles, then I walked the last mile or so for a cool down. No wind so I would have liked to go harder but I felt like my legs had very little to give.

Aw, maybe a day of rest is needed?

For me a rest day usually means a walk rather than a run. I've got 10000+ steps every day for nearly three years now

Yesterday was close, I ran 4 miles and walked the last mile and a bit again, but I guess my stride for the run was longer so I got home with about 8500 steps. It was about 11pm when I remembered I needed to check my step count and tip over 10000. I did, but the margin was the slimmest it's been for a while - the final tally was 10,028 steps. But it was more than 10k, which is what matters.
