Although it was my intent to go longer (maybe another 3 or 4 miles), I got stomach cramps at mile 5 and felt a bit overdressed for the weather. Short sleeves and long running pants had been a bit too much.
Nonetheless, I'm not going to complain about... read more
This was one tough class! Lots of extra push-ups and sit-ups that really left me sweaty and gross at the end. I found whatever was required of us in this class was a bit more demanding than it had been in other classes...Now, I'm going to plan a nice o... read more
sounds like a fun if challenging class. enjoy today's run!
about 18 hours agoNice to start off with a tough class, because now you can enjoy the rest of it! :) Great job!
about 14 hours agoGreat weather for running outdoors tonight. I ran my usual route and then some to get used to the feel of running on pavement (yep, it feels more challenging). Also, I decided it was about time to take Grover along for the ride---at least to keep Ms. N... read more
Thats great Muriel. You don't want to see your splits on Grover??
3 days agothanks y'all! @Chio-perhaps we might run into you manana morning or, if not then, possibly one morning next week?
3 days agoAwesome evening run. :)
2 days agoI went to the TM after yoga class to run a quick mile. Unfortunately the Nike band wasn't picking up the mileage as it should (so what's new?) and I have a cut on my left foot which irritated me. Gonna have to wash and bandage that one before some more... read more
Try Neosporin on it and a new band-aid..
5 days agoI thought you meant 'Transcendental Meditation' then I realized you meant treadmill. Yoga followed by TM would be really relaxing.
4 days ago@David-we actually do have a little bit of meditation (5 min worth) at the end of class. It's usually very relaxing when I don't almost fall asleep :)
3 days agoThis, unfortunately, is going to be my last monday nite yoga class for awhile. I signed up for an introductory rock climbing class which starts next week Mon nights and plan to continue with the yoga at home (DVD) and on Sat mornings. Really like the i... read more
It's always good to try something new. Good luck!
5 days agoOMG. AMAZING.
I've been toying with that idea for a while, let me know how it goes and how you like it!!! Keep us all posted of course :)
I'm super afraid of heights, but have been tree climbing quite a few times to try and get over my fear, it's a super intense adrenaline rush and builds upper body strength like crazy (there were a few "rock climbing" walls in the trees) but I still can't help but be nervous when I look down.
Thanks ladies. The class will definitely be new and exciting...and will give you a full report after my class next week!
5 days agorunning in the rain..sorry, 'no can do', but apparently running on a TM and around an indoor track is an 'almost can do'. This of course was very challenging due to the boredom factor. Luckily watched a little bit of the movie with Sandra Bulluck (the ... read more
Congrats on doing it :)
7 days agoGreat job staying on the treadmill so long!
6 days agoThanks everyone! @Steph--Confession---I was actually going to buy the movie when I saw it in CVS tonight---also just downloaded the movie's soundtrack....pretty awesome!
5 days agoit's raining outside so jumped on the tm after class to get some miles. after warming up @5.0, I tried to speed up the pace now and then. it's raining this whole weekend (so I hear) and we'll see what I can do with or without the tm.
nice 3 muriel. hope the weather clears up
8 days agoNice run on the TM!
7 days agothanks everyone! here's to warmer days ahead! :)
7 days agomost difficult part of class had been the push-ups and planks at the end which is not to say that the first or middle part of the class was any easier :)
Nice way to start the weekend!
8 days agohaha - i know what you mean; it goes from hard to harder to hardest!
8 days agoGreat morning yogalates!
8 days agoI decided to get in a few miles after work tonight. Unfortunately, the gym felt a bit overheated or too warm for my liking and I, of course, was overdressed (no long sleeves though)...Worked a bit on focusing on the core and just relaxing shoulders and... read more
When I belonged to a gym, I hated how it was so warm in there. Do they not understand that you get hot and sweaty while working out?! I don't understand the point of having that environment "heated". Good job trying to remained focused on your core.
9 days agothey're probs still in winter mode. great job getting in some sweaty miles!
9 days agothanks everyone! today was a bit better with the gym's temperature. It helped to wear a sleeveless shirt though :)
8 days agoMy goal was to get in some easy miles at the gym. My two major complaints had been that I need some new tunes on my MP3 player (boRING) and be more hydrated...Also, I tried to focus, from time to time, on form. It helps to concentrate on being more rel... read more
I try focusing on engaging my core which tends to relax my limbs....nice 6 miles.
11 days agoAwesome 6 miler! I agree, I need new tunes too. What do you drink to stay hydrated?
9 days agothanks for all the motivation and tips everyone. @Joyce-at work I usually drink about 8 to 12 cups of water while sitting at my desk. I also really like Poland spring's seltzer (fizzy) water...occasionally I drink some sugar-free caffeine free beverages as well. what do you drink to stay hydrated?
