I have said for a long time tha...3 miles is great!<br /><br />I have said for a long time that the only people who can exercise the amount these medical scientists want us to are those who are wealthy enough to have housekeepers/nannies/chauffeurs/etc., those who make their living at teaching exercise, and those who dedicate that much time to it no matter what else is waiting to be done.<br /><br />I will admit that maybe I am overlooking something, maybe there is some way to fit it in, but someone will have to show it to me.<br /><br />Meanwhile, as I do not fall into any of those categories, so I will not be exercising by running 40 miles a week or the equivalent in other types of workouts any time soon.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-9255828673034462532010-02-04T19:48:13.417-08:002010-02-04T19:48:13.417-08:00Just discovered your blog!!

I never thought I would jog for 5 minutes. I'm curious if I'll make the 3 miles.

So carido and strength training 3 days a week and cardio with stretching the other 3. <br /><br />Who says is has to be all running? (coming from a non-runner).<br /><br />I give you majorly bright stars for running 3 miles!LaShaunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926161882767198480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-23325676234456354392010-02-04T07:05:36.889-08:002010-02-04T07:05:36.889-08:00Um, yeah.
