    So as of today, it looks like we'll need a new table once we finish rebuilding our gazebo (or as I like to call it, "Gone with the Wind - the sequel") It just shattered rather sponta... read more

    good Sweaty Plank, Etc 00:05:00

    A 3:30 (sweaty) plank followed by some absent, but very much needed back extensions. Plan to get back into a regular schedule with Foundation Training - got off schedule and then gradually, my back... read more

    good Lipty Warmup 3 mi 00:31 10:25 pace

    Some lipty to get things started. Had jury duty today but luckily was not picked AND got to leave early. So I was able to get to the gym. (Also add a 3 min. plank from yesterday & a rather unpl... read more

    good One Little Mile 1 mi 00:10:30 10:30 pace

    A little mile snuck in between two 1-mile walks at the gym, 1% incline. I was on a running "fast" since Broad Street (May 6th).

    good Pre/Post Run 2 mi 00:33 16:23 pace

    1 mile walk at 1% incline before & after a quick run.

    good 10 Minute Hips & Core 00:10:00

    10 minutes is a guess. Either way, this was short as I'm fighting a headache. Did 10 each (& each side) of bridges, leg raises, hip extensions, leg abductions, standing leg abductions. (Fe... read more

    good Sunday Swim 350 yd 00:30 150:51 pace

    Easy swim. Time is estimated. Practiced breathing & easier pace. Noted that if I keep my head tilted down more than where it usually is, turning to breathe seems easier (clearer), and I finish ... read more

      I think you have to go with whatever feels comfortable Pam. Everyone has their own way of swimming. Nice sessions today. Hope the tire got you home :-)

    good Core & Hips 00:50

    Went rogue on the plank schedule and held it for 4.5 min (instead of 3). Added a 1.5 minute & 30 sec. plank, 2 side planks of 1:45 ea. (No planks on Sunday) Followed up with 25 bridges, 25 leg ... read more

    good Post lipty 1.5 mi 00:25 16:49 pace

    good Light and Short 1.5 mi 00:18 11:47 pace

    Stopped at the gym after the chiro appt and before going home. Feeling wiped, and legs & feet have been cramping up so I kept this incredibly easy.

    good Gym Lipty 6.07 mi 01:05 10:42 pace

    Up to 15% resistance with Pandora on the 80's. Hubs took care of dinner so I could go to the gym - to help me reclaim what should have been a peaceful Mother's Day. But my Mother's D... read more

    good Cooldown/shakeout 1 mi 00:18 17:56 pace

    Shookout the legs after the lipty session, then stopped for groceries on the way home (a no-no when hungry, which I was.) good thing I only bought nutritious healthy stuff!

      I did a spin class on a cruise. I loved it but I wanted to show off that I was not in bad shape, so I pushed it much too hard. I could not go back. I wish we had that around where I live!
