Girls, I think it's time we do something for ourselves that will make us healthier and distract us from TTC.

I am going to sign up for a trail race in early fall, and I hope that some of you will join me. We can all sign up for events in our own local area and then motivate each other to get ready during the rest of the summer.

Most running races welcome walkers, and many bike/triathlon events are low key.

Here are some calendars for events across the country:

Road races: Running in the USA - Race Menu

Trail races: 2010 Trailrunner Calendar

Bicycling: BikeRide.com: Bicycle Event Calendar

Triathlons and other races: The American Triathlon Calendar

Who else is in?

I don't think I will be doing any of those, but I am really looking into starting to work out with my DH.. He loves to work out and is going to help me put together something I can do in doors since when he works out I have to watch our son to make sure he dosen't drowned in the pool.. So I am going to do that, but the fitness idea to distract us from ttc is a good idea.

I decided today to start dieting and walking. I can't walk fast or far because of asthma and a bad knee but I can def. cheer everybody who will be doing it on!

I start back on healthy eating and working out tomorrow. DH was off half the day today and we are still finishing up goodies from the 4th. Tomorrow will be better. LOL

On the pregnancy loss board there is a thread for Friday Fit chicks. We weigh in every friday. Just thought I would let you ladies know

I am wanting to get much healthier and lose a good bit of weight. I doubt I could do any races or anything this year, but my goal is to be in shape and ready to participate in some of these things next year.

I'm currently planning on entering both of these:
Dam to Dam
HyVee Triathalon

Wow, girls, there are so many of us trying to get/stay fit!!

I am jealous of those of you who have the motivation to start an exercise program without needing an event. I have no self-discipline

I think we should start a fitness thread like the ladies over at PAL. We could keep it going so we all have someone to check in with, whine to when we're having a bad day, brag to when we have a good day, etc.

What do you girls think?

That works for me
