Post from 2007
Last time this came up, I did the work inside and felt I might have measured the distance a little short. This time, I used favoriterun.com to map out an exact 400m outside.
Last time: 9:48, 299 steps (most likely shy of 400m)

yeeesh! nice PR there even with knee-pads i was slooooow today: 393 steps @ 14:22. but really really happy it’s over. BTW have you checked out Robb’s blog recently?
Well, Mac, you won’t see me tomorrow, I have my kids home from school and I can do this at home.
I am volunteering at the marathon on Thurs from 5 am-8 am so I hope that I can make it by 9 on Thursday to get the workout in before the gorging!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
(I’m a bit embarrassed about the 40+. I spent A LOT of time resting when I did this workout before. There was also some chatting. It was just so painful.)
I just looked up my previous time. It was 38:11 on 10/8.

Great job, Terri! Fewer breaks and less chatting is all part of it! Own your PR!

Here’s an exact 400m route for the walking lunge:
- Start at where our gate meets our neighbor’s driveway
- Continue straight alongside the building until you reach the sidewalk
- Immediate right towards Dekalb Ave.
- Make a right, continuing down the sidewalk until you are next to the bushes by the Wallcrawler building; turn around when you are UNDER the sign for “Candler Park Connection”
- Retrace your steps back to the beginning
It was a nice morning to be outside. I put on some makeshift knee pads- not very thick, but it definitely helped. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
21:07 (427 knee touches!)
Sorry to miss this morning. I planned on coming in today, but I’m having vertigo. It started on Sunday, and I thought it was just an after-workout thing, but it’s gotten worse. I’m very dizzy if I move too quickly or the wrong way. I used to get this regularly (maybe a few times a year). It was diagnosed as a an inner-ear thing, and I have medication that I can take for the dizziness. Haven’t had a flare-up in a long time, thanks to CF and a better diet I think. ANYWAY, that’s why I didn’t make it in this morning. I may be in on Friday. If not, I will see you guys on Monday.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I am thankful for CFRx. And I really mean that.
Mike, that’s an awesome time & with raw knees! And I swear I wasn’t going to say on the blog that my kneepads were made with maxipads in case you had borrowed them!

Nice!!!
I’m not sure about doing this one tomorrow. I am thinking about running the thanksgiving day half marathon and want to save my legs.
Good luck, I am working at the starting line…maybe I’ll see you!
Great pic!!!

Awesome photo! That Jenny is strong. I’m doing this one outside this time. I think it will go faster that way.
26:42. Lost track of steps on the way out; forgot to count on the way back.
You’re not gonna say PR? That’s a helluva lot less time than 40+ minutes!
You’re right: PR!!!!!!!

Nice work, Joy – that’s a lot of steps!
Thanks, coach. I predict I’ll have the most steps!

Yikes! I hope this passes soon!! Missed you this morning.
If it persists, have yourself checked for an inner ear infection. That happened to me once and I had no symptoms except the dizziness. Take care!
Dang vertigo. Hope you feel better, Pat. Have a great holiday.
Hope it passes soon.
Yay! A workout I can do while in NOLA. No gym needed. Plus, can even do this one with my cold. Happy Turkey Day!
12:15 with 366 steps — owww!
It was fun having Mac join us this morning. Pat, feel better soon. Joy, thanks for the offer of the maxi-kneepads but I just couldn’t do it! : )

I think you are very creative! ; )
Time: 21:39

Nice time, Mike! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

396 steps
Us shorties need lots of steps…do we get extra credit for that? haha!
You got that right, girl! If you do the math, your steps were almost as fast as Laura’s.
Well, that’s encouraging!

Sheesh, that burned! Good news is my groin felt fine!!
