Scott is back in the game.

Day 11.

Still sick. But who can complain when I got to take a 2 hour nap today. Sage is back in school and bouncing off the walls. Benny is sick. Scott is doing really well and has gone skiing twice this week. 7 miles total I think.

Scott is awesome. He has taken good care of me. Sunday, he cooked and stocked the fridge with leftovers. He has also made numerous trips to the grocers even after his night classes. Benny has discovered popsicles... at two in the morning it is really fun to watch his slurp a popsicle down. He knows what he wants and how to get it.

Hi Everybody!

Today I took Norma Jean on a 50 minute run/walk. I'm happy to say that she actually ran more than she walked! I was so proud.

checking in

Hi all,
I thought my leg was all better but we went bowling for my Birthday and my leg has ached ever since. I'm back at the acupuncturist treating the back. I think I'm officially out of the race. Walking even short distances causes lots of leg pain and I get a big tight calf muscle. I can ride the bike and do yoga and probably swim although I haven't tried. Walking and definitely running are not working for me at all.

Hope the Maine Fullers are feeling better.
XOXO Sky

Parker, the rain, the walk!

Icy rain today. Parker and I walked all the the streets near Lisa's house after we bought him a new leash and choke collar. He is smart and will learn fast with some obedience training! Nothing like a walk in the rain. Fun!

Lots of snow in Ohio.

Art and I took Parker the beagle for an hour walk this morning. Funny dog! He wants to run run run sniff sniff sniff! He woke me up in the night licking my face! Alex did an awesome job in the play!

Friday and Mom

4 mile walk with Aggie this morning-cold and dreary-getting us in shape for Ohio and New England. Hooray for Scotty- a smashing good 3 year review for him at his college.
Packed and ready to go at 6 am in the morning. It will have to be airport walking tomorrow!
Excited to see the eastern Fuller fam!

Have loved watching the Olympics--next year I will ski. It has been a long time-may need lessons.....and new skiis! I'm going for it!

Thursday Mom

Too many late nights watching the Olympics! I only rode 6 miles this morning. Stiff from all the pruning I did with the hedge clippers yesterday! Beautiful sunny day. Packing up to go east! Hooray for Lisa and no cancer! Whew!

Cough Cough Sneeze

Tuesday was the last workout for me. I ran on the hilly road. 3.2 miles. Everyone is at different stages of a flu now so there haven't been any workout since. Except my arms, which are getting worked by Benny.

Melinda Tuesday

Today I ran around the indoor track for 20 minutes and walked for a 10 minute cool-down. It felt good and tomorrow I am going to try and brave the swimming pool!

Sunday and Monday

Yesterday I ran outside on the hills again. We clocked it with the car. 3.2 miles.

Scott skiied over 6 miles yesterday. He is a little sore but is hitting again today for 2 miles. We still have a little snow. More on the way tomorrow. 10 inches maybe.

Feeling good

I started exercising again this weekend. Taking is slow though. I've been doing 45 minutes on my stationary bike. I will start yoga again on Wednesday. My hurt leg turned out to be a pinches nerve in my back. I treated it with acupuncture. It feels almost 100% better. I'll continue treatment until there is no more pain or numbness and continue with low impact exercise.

BACK ON TRACK!

After a week long fitness funk, I am back in action. Today I ran for 45 minutes on the track and did some sit-up's and Kevin ran a 5k, lifted weights, and did sit-up's with me. Now we're back home and ready for a healthy lunch.

Sunday

Happy Valentine's to all my sweethearts!
10 miles on the bike. A question for Dr. Linny Fuller. The first 5 miles the back of my knee hurts. A little after that it stops hurting, and by 10 miles it feels awesome! H-m-m-m. What's the deal? xxoo
PS -15 pounds --I'm on the way and so far to go! Cravings have gone, hooray.

Ice Boarding

Today Kevin and I went ice boarding at Stowe. It was a really fun time and my legs are tired, even though there was VERY little snow. On the way home we went for a mile walk through the woods with Norma Jean. The trails were very icy, WE NEED SNOW!!!!

Friday and Sat for team Maine

Scott- Skiing both days 2.5 yesterday and 3.5 today. He has some hard icy snow to contend with.

Melia- Lower body weight lifting, 2.8 miles on the treadmill and Abs by Benny workout on Friday. Saturaday I took advantage of the warm sunny weather and ran on the road. 3.5 miles on some happy little hills.

Friday, February 12, 2010

Today: Jog 2 miles, Walk ? at Bobelaine Wildlife Sanctuary
Wed: nothing
Tuesday: Gym workout
Monday Jog 2 miles

Thursday good news

Hi--I rode the bike for 10 miles in the morning and 10 miles in the afternoon. Feels good. I walked the mall for quite awhile and was thrilled to buy some jeans and a sweat suit one size smaller. That's the good news. The jeans are snug, but one size smaller. Hooray! It's working!

Yoga class.

I went to yoga on Tuesday and again today. It is hard on the ego so I have learned great humbleness in my practice. Namaste.

Wednesday

Walked 3.5 miles with Aggie. We aren't very fast, but we do do some hills. Nothing in the afternoon at the gym. Got my hair cut and worked on finishing the grout on the tiles in the kitchen with Art. It looks nice!

3 miles in 30 with 8 seconds to spare

Yay. I made March's goal time. It was serious work. Friday I plan to do some interval training.

So my new running goal for March is to shave 1:30 off of that racing speed.
Also I am going to do two races....

1. A trail race (I really love hiking) I am trying to decide between the 5k and 10k. The race is on May 29th. I read that the route has some serious hills so I am debating between a fast paced 5k or a slow 10k. But who knows maybe by than I will feel comfortable with a moderate paced 10K.

2. A half-marathon.



And for our workouts- Scott skiied, I did weightlifting for the lower body and then ran. I did 10 min jogging for warmup and cool down.

pedal pedal pedal

I rode 10 miles in the morning and 10 miles in the afternoon. xxoo

Walk and ride

Lost 3 pounds this week. Walked 1.5 hours with Aggie--rode the bike 10 miles at the club. Feelin' great! Wondering how I am going to get all my exercise in when we travel. I'll find a way!
xxoo

February 8th

Scott said he did at least 25 miles of walking in NYC this weekend. He had the blisters to prove it. Today he skied 4 miles.

Today I did upper body weights and 3.5 miles of running. Today I was 3 mins faster (37 mins). I think I am near my goal for Feb. of 3 miles in 33 mins. I will test it Wed. I am glad I posted the goals here on the blog so I can be accountable.

This looks like a fun running event.

VT workouts

It's been cold up here, but Norma Jean doesn't seem to mind. I took her on a 3 mile run/speed walk on Friday night and then a couple mile jog through some trails by a dog park close to the house on Saturday. It was icy so we had to take it slow, but she stayed with me the whole time--even when we encountered other dogs on the trail. She said her hellos and then ran up the trail to catch up with me. This makes me excited for the snow to melt so we can go on some fast trail runs and hikes.

Yesterday, Melinda pulled us off of the couch and we went to the gym. We ran two quick miles together and then I lifted weights and she hopped on the elliptical.

Biking and Food Closet

Rain this morning! I went to the club to ride my ten miles instead. I did 5 hours of work at the Food Closet--never stopped moving! It was lots of exercise. Came home and didn't have an ounce of energy left to ride the bike again. I may take tomorrow off. Art and I went to Sherlock Holmes. Don't waste your money---not worth it! Happy weekend all. I hope Scotty isn't buried in snow in New York!

new gym in town

Yesterday I went to look at a new gym because I heard a rumor that they had day care. The day care is not open yet. They are waiting for the kid equipment/furniture and they haven't hired the staff yet. So hopefully I can get Ceci a job and I can start working out there in the next couple of weeks :)

My leg is bother. No workouts at all for me this whole week. Today I have my 2nd acupuncture appt. He thinks I have a pinched nerve in my back.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Namaste

Yoga class on Thursday. I love it. I feel taller when it is over.

Scotty is flying to NYC today. Bennett has a show there and Scott is going to meet the gallery owners and Bennett's other connections in NYC. Hopefully he makes lots of things happen. I would love to see a Scott Fuller art show in NYC. :)

Another day at the gym

This afternoon I rode 5 miles and did a few machines for upper body. It feels good to regularly exercise!

Biking and Walking today

It is beautiful out today--somewhere around 43 with sunshine when Aggie and I walked our 3.2 miles this morning. There were several hills, so we expanded our workout. This afternoon I did 10 miles on the bike. It went fast while I watched Dr. Oz teaching about worms and parasites (you would have grossed out, Sky) and childhood obesity. I was finished before they were, and it was a good day of exercise.

Back to it

I made it to the gym today. :)
Treadmill 3.5 miles in 40 mins
Lower body weightlifting, took it easy on the weight
30 crunches and 30 bicycle crunches (or whatever it is called.)

Scott skiied, 3 miles.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Bike on-------

10 miles on the bike today at the club. Was going to go back and do it again, but didn't, so just one exercise today. Well-I exercised my brain with iMovie and learning how to use youtube tonight.

Happy Monday!

Hi everyone. I've been checking the blog to see how you all are going. Way to go Fullers. I'm very impressed with you all.

I'm still sticking to yoga and my in home stationary bike for now. My leg is bothing me and I don't want to do more.

It hasn't stopped us from enjoying the beach though. We spent yesterday and today at the beach. Today is a school holiday (Constitution Day observed). We took the puppies with us too. I wish I would have taken pictures. It was a great day.

Love to you all and keep up those heart rates!
