If you’ve never commented on here, today is your day. I’ve created a safe, non-threatening environment just for you where you can brag about yourself and act like Kara Goucher or Billy Blanks or even Tom Brady.
Mr. Brady (in the hat) makes running look fun. I want to try that!
So do tell, what is your workout looking like today? Flaunt it! Are you doing the Tom Brady muscle shuffle or are you doing something a little more lowkey like Kate Beckinsale and doing dog duty?
Be a part of Running Tuesday! or be a dog turd.

I’ll be trying to run two miles today for the first time EVER… I just ran my first mile in YEARS last week… trying to step it up. =)
April 27, 2010 at 10:54 AM
Good for you Alisha!!!
April 27, 2010 at 11:30 AM
WOW! That’s awesome, Alisha!!!!!
April 27, 2010 at 12:29 PM
You can do it! Take some upbeat jams and zone out!
April 27, 2010 at 8:10 AM
I did a 45 minute spin class this morning at 5:45. I then did about 15 minutes of weights. Today is my non-running do so I do something else just to keep my sanity level in check.
April 27, 2010 at 8:14 AM
I’m not doing anything running related today. But I plan on 5 miles before the city wakes up tomorrow morning.
I have my last presentation ever of graduate school today. Nerves as hell, I hate public speaking. I would much rather be pounding the pavement.
April 27, 2010 at 8:23 AM

Cross-training day for me! Running the Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday. Love the blog!
April 27, 2010 at 8:52 AM
Heading out for an easy 8 miler now. But, yesterdays workout is bragworthy. 2miles easy, 2 miles hard, 2 miles easy: 17:57, 13:39, 17:55 Not sure that I’ve ever run 2 miles that hard!!
April 27, 2010 at 9:09 AM
Dunno who those people are. I’m on the road again for the 2nd time in 2 months, post injury. After a month of running in the water, hitting hte earth is nice. swallowed TONS of mozzies but beat the heat this am. 3 miles running, 1 mile warm up walk. I hope to be piling the miles back on again soon. I’ve definitely lost muscle mass.
April 27, 2010 at 9:15 AM
I’m not running today – it’s a Zumba day for me. But, I did run 2 miles yesterday! I’m working up to my first 5K. woohoo! haha.
And why does Tom Brady look like such a GIANT compared to that other dude?
April 27, 2010 at 9:18 AM
Doing a 3.5 miler later on when I get home from work. Doing my first 5k this Sunday in OC. Really excited! I love your blog Sarah, thanks for all the great info
April 27, 2010 at 9:30 AM
P90X this morning and I’m going to do 3 miles today after work.
I ran the Texas Roundup 10K in Austin on Saturday and the hills of Austin almost KILLED ME!!!
I’m glad I’m back to my flat route in Houston
April 27, 2010 at 9:37 AM
zomg do we love the same celebs or whattt. I just posted the same pic of kate!! anyways…i “ran”6 miles right now…death
April 27, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Just did 5 and half miles on my lunch hour, and I have an upped body w/o (P90X) for when I get off….and of course a walk with my pup!
April 27, 2010 at 9:57 AM
I placed 7th in my age group at a 5k on Sunday and even though I thought my time was pretty average, I’m damn proud of it!!
April 27, 2010 at 9:58 AM
4 miles at lunch and then bike or swim tonight for 30 min…can’t doo too much…Running my first marathon on Sunday and I am trying to take it easy this week! : )
April 27, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Love the blog! No running for me today, my poor shins are still recovering from all those hills in Nashville this weekend!
April 27, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Today I did 45 min. of indoor cycling and also some upper body resistance training. The weather is too rainy for running today.
April 27, 2010 at 10:48 AM
im hoping to go to step class tonight @ 6:30. First though its leg training day so i gotta hit the weights!
April 27, 2010 at 10:50 AM
No running for me today, but I ran for the first time since December yesterday! Now that it’s nicer here in WA I thought I should probably try to get back into the swing of things. I’ve got some 5ks lined up in June and hopefully I’ll stick it out long enough to justify a running-themed shopping spree!
April 27, 2010 at 10:53 AM
The fam is still in town. No run for moi. I feel like a big lazy slug lately. Sigh.
April 27, 2010 at 10:56 AM
I’m Erin. I always read but never post!!!!
I’m finishing my freshman year at Elon University and was so excited when I saw Tom Brady’s trainer wearing an Elon shirt, so I just HAD to post.
No run today, but I will be doing an hour on the arc trainer followed by absss!!
I SHOULD COMMENT MORE.
April 27, 2010 at 10:59 AM
I’m going to crossfit class tonight. it’s raining so my running will have to wait until tomorrow.
April 27, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Swam this morning and plan to run 4 miles of fartleks (hee hee!)
April 27, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Sadly for me, I won’t be partaking in Running Tuesday for the next 6 weeks due to a bad hamstring strain and bursitis BUT at least I know what it is and it’s not a torn mensicus like the dr suspected. That being said, I’m not banned from elliptical, so I’ll be doing that until I’m bored to tears, or half an hour or so, whatever comes first.
April 27, 2010 at 11:03 AM
Cindy here! I also read (religiously every morning) and never post, I’m kinda shy!! I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! love love love it. Did I say love it yet? LOVE IT!
Doing a 2mile EZ run tonight. Tapering down for my very first half this Saturday! BTW whats up with the tapering? I feel like I need to run as much as I can especially the week before a big race day. Is tapering really necessary? SR, I notice you don’t really follow that “rule”. Any comments?
April 27, 2010 at 11:04 AM
dang, tom brady is hot.
no workout for me today….tomorrow is my running day!
April 27, 2010 at 11:06 AM
30 min treadmill run + lower body strength training…although I think I WANT to be doing the Tom Brad muscle shuffle. Sounds, um, fun.
April 27, 2010 at 11:12 AM
Ran and did dog duty today! Ran 3 miles and then walked the pup for 45 minutes. That was this morning and he’s still passed out on the floor!
April 27, 2010 at 11:16 AM
Short tempo with 2 warm up miles, 3 miles @7:40 and 1 cool down. Marathon is in 12 days!
April 27, 2010 at 11:23 AM
I’ve been trying to use up my tanning package I bought before our HM. I hate tanning so in order to relieve some of the guilt I plan to run the 2 miles to the tanning salon, then run the two miles home
April 27, 2010 at 11:25 AM
Ran 11, but it was pretty blah, somedays feel better than others!
April 27, 2010 at 11:26 AM
Usually I’m a lurker but I didn’t wanna be a dog turd, so here goes. I was supposed to run today but since the weather was so nice yesterday I couldn’t restrain myself and went for a run. So instead I went for a walk and a Bodypump class today. It was great.
I love your blog, it always serves me well when I’m in need of running inspiration.
April 27, 2010 at 11:27 AM
I didn’t work out today- but wanted to comment on the tshirt Tom Brady’s friend is wearing. I went to Elon- woot!
April 27, 2010 at 11:30 AM
Alright, you convinced me to comment. Love your blog by the way. Running, celebrities and shopping are my three fav things.
I did a hardcore sprint/strength workout this morning that almost killed me! Sprint .25 mi, do 2 strength moves – repeat 2x with different move and repeat whole circuit 2 more times. That’s kind of confusing, isn’t it? Oh well – it was good stuff! Happy Tuesday!
April 27, 2010 at 11:31 AM
Per my usual Tuesday, I swam 2 miles this morning. Woohoo for stretching the legs out!
What’s up with the guy running with Tom Brady?
April 27, 2010 at 11:35 AM
Today I’m doing a run/swim brick! Triathlon training in full effect!
April 27, 2010 at 11:36 AM
Walking my woofer was the height of my exercise today. I’m moving house on Friday & my running routine is all out of whack. Driving me insane actually, can’t wait to get settled and back to training.
April 27, 2010 at 11:39 AM
SR I just love reading your blog every day! I ran 3 miles this morning, recovering from the OKC Half Marathon on Sunday so was taking it easy. You should come do OKC next year, amazing race and remembering great people! Have a great day!
April 27, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Im getting my swim on this evening! It will also include some hot-tubbing. Need some motivation, right?
April 27, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Enjoy your blog, especially since I’m trying to incorporate running more into my cardio workouts.
For example, today I did 30 min on the ArcTrainer, then 3.5 miles on the treadmill (run took me 33 minutes).
Do you have any tips for finding woman running groups? Is there even such a thing?
April 27, 2010 at 12:02 PM
today i went a 4.5 mile run with my dad
April 27, 2010 at 12:04 PM
No running for me today either…BIG GRRR…I’ve been out with a terrible shin splint since my long run last week monday where I overdid it pounding the concrete to hard. HATE shin splints…anyone else get these?
April 27, 2010 at 12:13 PM
well i didn’t run, but i did do a good chest/tricep workout…I also boxed….and I got punched in the eyeball by my instructor. I think i’m good for the day……
April 27, 2010 at 12:21 PM
This morning: 15 min run + a biceps/triceps
After work: Insanity (Plyometric Cardio Circuit) with the hubbie!
Hola for Two-a-days.
April 27, 2010 at 12:39 PM
So this would be the first time I’ve ever commented – you made it so I couldn’t refuse!
For the record, love the blog, think it’s awesome, and it makes me very jealous of all your gorgeous weather! I live on a tiny Island just off the coast of France, and it’s only just starting to warm up here, but at least outside runs are back on the cards!
Anyway, easy five miler today – recovering from a knee injury so taking it easy for the moment and then boxing practice in the morning
Keep up the awesome bloginess SR
April 27, 2010 at 12:48 PM
Ok…. Never have posted on Tuesdays before…
My workout
Got up at 530: Worked on Arms (strength)
then 35 min (over 3.5 miles) of Mile Tempo runs… Working out in the morning is better than coffee for waking me up (Although I DO still drink it!)
April 27, 2010 at 12:52 PM
I ran an 8 minute mile yesterday, which is a big deal to me!
April 27, 2010 at 12:57 PM
Hopefully I can get out and do some intervals later, but it’s looking like grad school is getting in the way. Does anyone know someone that would like to a complete an accounting paper with a matching power point?
April 27, 2010 at 12:59 PM
20 minutes of intense interval training that made me want to puke…but I can do ANYTHING for 20 minutes!
April 27, 2010 at 1:02 PM
My brother and I just signed up for our first half-marathon and we both love your blog!!
April 27, 2010 at 1:03 PM
i don’t want to be a turd so here’s my workout!!
a crazy cardio circut (x2)
20 min. elliptical
10 min. run
wa-baam!
April 27, 2010 at 1:07 PM
I have no clue what workout I am doing today.
April 27, 2010 at 1:18 PM
Alas, no run for me today. Both kids home + Hubby working + working at 3pm = no workout for Momma. Boo. Tomorrow though, fer sure.
April 27, 2010 at 1:29 PM
13.1 PR by 5 mins this weekend at the Oklahoma City Memorial marathon!!!
This ends the spring race season for me. Spring 2010 totals: 5 half marathons, got 18mins faster @ the 13.1, lost 14 lbs, zero injuries!!!
April 27, 2010 at 1:51 PM
Well I don’t want to be a dog turd so I’m going to comment! I ran 5.3 miles today in 60 minutes. For me that is great! I just began running for the first time back on March 1st and have improved dramatically this month! I have also lost 25 lbs! YAY! I can’t wait till the day I can run as fast as you SR! And I would say I can’t wait for the day I can run as fast as you without even messing up my hair or makeup (how do you do that?!?!?) but I know that won’t ever happen for me!
BTW, thanks for keeping up such a fun, entertaining, inspiring blog! I look forward to reading it each week!
April 27, 2010 at 1:55 PM
I ran 4.23 miles this afternoon in the beautiful, very runnable Hyde Park neighborhood in Cincinnnati. It was my first run my new Garmin 305. I still have a lot to figure out, but I think I like it!
April 27, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Speedwork.. ugh..
800 @ desired 5k pace
30 second rest
2×300 @ slightly faster than desired 5k pace
shuffle 100 back to the start
2×400 @ slightly faster than desired 5k pace
30 second rest
800 @ desired 5k pace
2 minute break.. and repeat..
April 27, 2010 at 2:47 PM
I went to Elon with that guy!!
April 27, 2010 at 3:10 PM
Cross-training day for me. So I did the P90X Plyo workout. Good times! Really, I actually enjoy it.
April 27, 2010 at 4:14 PM
No run for me today, I’m still a bit sore from a 10 mile race on Saturday and don’t want to push it. I’m hoping for tomorrow though.
April 27, 2010 at 4:25 PM
I ran 3 miles today with a good solid speed. I am beginning to train for a half.
April 27, 2010 at 4:32 PM
I squeezed in two miles before my spin class tonight!
April 27, 2010 at 4:53 PM
I ran 6.1 miles today…in new running shoes. Ah…nothing like new Nikes to put a spring in your step
April 27, 2010 at 5:22 PM
Hi SR! I read your blog every day but I’m a new runner and I’m kind of shy about not knowing anything. I ran 8 min intervals 4 times today for a total of about 3 miles. It was my longest time running EVER! I told you I’m a beginner but I’m hooked already. If I could run behind Tom Brady, I bet I could run 10 miles in the hopes of catching him.
April 27, 2010 at 6:31 PM
congrats on doing 3 miles! everyone has to start somewhere, especially those lucky ones that start behind mr brady.
April 27, 2010 at 5:36 PM
I took a Pilates reformer class today! I love how I feel so calm and refreshed after a Pilates class…
April 27, 2010 at 5:48 PM
I know that Elon guy with Tom Brady as well. Small world!
April 27, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Went to a spinning class today, and will be super sore tomorrow!
might i mention, i wore the same tank top today as kate beckinsale did in this picture! except she’s actually wearing it inside out- how creative!
April 27, 2010 at 7:07 PM
I had an easy workout today because my knee is still sore
I did 30 min easy biking, then upper body weights, then abs.
April 27, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Ran 6 miles. Should’ve gone to the bathroom before because I almost peed myself
April 27, 2010 at 7:53 PM
Treadmill intervals for moi today – woot woot!
April 27, 2010 at 8:06 PM
Just finished running sprints and stairs! I happen to love cross training days!
April 27, 2010 at 8:51 PM
Stairmaster killed me today!!!
April 27, 2010 at 9:51 PM
No workout today… boo
Took the dog for a 30 min walk before her puppy training class (where she “graduated” today!). Hip is out of whack at the moment, so working out on hold until I see the chiropractor tomorrow…Then I gotta get ready to run (and drink margaritas) with you this weekend 
So motivated by all these commenters!!
April 27, 2010 at 10:10 PM
[...] Running Tuesday check [...]
April 28, 2010 at 9:37 AM
Avid reader and runner. Well not so much running these days…on a 4 mile run a week ago, tore my paroneal tendon and ATFL
In rehab but living vicariously through all the runners! Oh how I miss it! Love the blog…feel better!
Oh-and those fiber one bars and this-side-of-heaven-goodness! It’s like cheating but not!
April 28, 2010 at 8:58 PM
Good thing it’s almost Thursday…I’m on the ball. I am a wus when it comes to running but Tues was a run with Duke the Black lab mix. Today was weight training at 24 hr fitness.
