I fell off the exercise wagon this year, but with good reason - cleaning out my ex from my house. I plan on losing a bit of weight this next year. :)

Keep up with the running & quilting - just not at the same time....

I used to run 5 miles every day. Right now I am lucky if I walk 2-3 days a week. Among my many New Years resolutions will be to walk a minimum of 5 days a week. Running doesn't seem to be in the cards anymore......sigh.

I like to walk 2 miles a day, but this cold weather has kept me in these last few weeks. Hope I can start back in January. Last year the weather did not slow me down, but for some reason the cold has really gotten to me this year.

I used to run 4 miles a day until my knees started bothering me. Now I walk it instead - it just takes longer!

I've been a faithful exercise nut for most of my life. I exercise 5 or 6 days a week. Three days at the gym with weights and eliptical and 2 or 3 days with a 4 to 5 mile walk. I love it!

Just wondering if anyone else out there works out regularly.... I do some type of workout at least 4-5 times a week.....what about everyone else?

I do 5 different stretch and bend aerobic exercises early in the morning, then I ride the recumbent bicycle for 30 minutes, about 8 miles, then I sometimes get on the Wii Fit and do about 20 minutes of different aerobic/balancing exercises. I think this is tremendously helpful with managing my RA.

[quote=cjomomma]I run all the time. I run to the grocery store, I run to the post office, I run to the thrift shops, I run across town to visit my folks and I run to the bathroom sometimes. I run after my 4yr. old, I even been known to run down the street chasing one of teenagers because they thought they could out run this fat old lady. I do so much running I don't know how I ever get any quilting done. Oh wait you dont mean that kind of running!! LOL!![/

cjomomma, you r so funny :thumbup: :lol: :lol: I love this one for sure. I think all of us fit this same catagory. :lol:
