That one was actually absolutely wonderful! We went to a small provincial park - an underutilized breattaking paved path in the Foothills of the Kananaskis Country with stunning views of the mountains, and while my hubby pushed the baby stroller down it, I went for my run. We only saw 2 cyclists there, apart from us on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. It's amazing how people go camping and totally miss those day use places! And, on my way back, a stag and a doe crossed the pass right in front of me, plus we went on an unpaved trail for the baby to run around. I will be doing it every weekend weather permitting! The hills are perfect too - all sorts.

I need to catch up on the push-ups though!

Wow, that does sound wonderful. Well, then let's hope you have nothing but beautiful weather on the weekends

I joined this challenge on the last page of the other forum...lol
I do my push-ups on the ball. I think I was doing them incorrectly before, I googled push-ups on ball and bookmarked a ton of demonstrations. Before I kept the ball at my chest, which is probably easier. Now I am trying to do them better and try to keep the ball under my hips. It is harder, I feel like Humpty Dumpty because I keep falling down!
Goal-4 sets of 25 push-ups at least 3-4 days a week. (Ball Under Hips) I figure I can continue to try to do more reps as I become better at balance and at push-ups.

LEIDA - DO ME A FAVOR...Delete Jodi's booster note. Do you know that's the reason why you have problems with your page? That comment has a virus. Try different computers until you can delete it.

I tried to copy your profile pic and url to add as a member on this forum and it won't let me.

Met all my goals for the month of May! Yay! Did a 11 mile long run Saturday (ick) I was tired. Did not time myself. I did it just to see how much I could stand. That was it. Only stopped to drink water and have gu gels. Marathon training starts NOW! Only thing I'm worried about is the constant entertainment and another vacation in August. REALLY don't want to get off training track.

Pushups - haven't been so great lately. Need to push repetition sets to 35 and would like to work up to 200 two to three times per week. Yes, first lady arms would be SO nice, however, they HAVE gotten more toned just in the past month of doing them. WOO HOO!

Sabrina, are you going to be running a 5k in the future? If not, I challenge you to do it. I bet you'd have a good time.

Thank you hon! Been thinking about that for a long time -to be a PT. Yep, I'm so itching to get back. Just one more day.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB WITH 11 MILES!! You are amazing!

I'm with you - let's get our push-ups in.
