  1. RUN
    good 5 mi 01:40 20:00 pace

    Hiked/ran the Mitchell trail (gain of ~1700' in final 1.5 miles up to ~9000' at summit) with a new friend, Mike. My breathing was scarily out of whack on the way up, even with a preemptiv... read more

    Swimming! Ten minutes longer than last week, and I took about half as many breaks. :D

    Regular MMA instructor was back, but gave us an even lighter workout. Ha! It was more about technique today--drilled with the sticks, learned how to choke people. Did end the time with a boatload o... read more

  4. RUN
    great 2 mi

    I was sore from yoga last night, yet totally rocked these two miles. Next week, I'm going to up my base runs to 3-4 miles--this means waking up earlier. I can do it. Right?

    Yoga for the first time in ages! Dave Farmar podcast, as usual--felt great. :)

    MMA! Had a substitute--regular instructor remembered this weekend that it's his wedding anniversary today. GOOD SAVE. Sub doesn't work us as hard, but we still got in some good cardio, pu... read more

  7. RUN
    great 2.1 mi

    I went back to my mostly-uphill-for-0.7-miles-to-start route and totally rocked it! A combo of finally having a solid base from doing only short runs for weeks plus a lot of cross training plus a n... read more

    Another hike out Deer Trap Mesa--this time with a puppy named Leo, who was a great trail companion, and two human friends. :) Tried my new Keen Voyageur light hikers--they need Superfeet, man. Othe... read more

  9. RUN
    great 2.88 mi

    Sweet trails with Ryan. Down into Acid Canyon from the aquatic center, through up to the next mesa, then looping back down and up. Walked the final inclines.

    great 00:20

    I didn't drown!! Haven't swum up here in about eight months, so my only goal was to avoid panic attacks and breathing issues. I did it. :) Slowly with a lot of short wall breaks. :D

  11. RUN
    good 2.45 mi

    A short run/walk ('bout half and half), mainly to shake out my hamstrings and warm-up enough to do pigeon pose for my glutes, which are all so tight from last night's jumping and walking ... read more

    MMA! Jumping squats, jumping lunges, walking lunges, ton of abs stuff, some stick fighting, some punching, and a ton of grappling. :D

  13. RUN
    good 2.1 mi

    Not too shabby. Felt good. Work sucks. I'm trying to balance physical activity and my urge to bake. As long as it evens out? Sigh.

  14. FIT
    great

    MMA! Always amazing--this time especially, because of a truly awful stressed-out work day. Practicing kicks, knife fighting, energy drills, running twice as many laps as we normally do to warm up, ... read more

    Hike at Bandelier National Monument, that included climbing several tall ladders into the ancient cliff dwellings! :)

  16. RUN
    good 5 mi

    Oof, I got hit with some doozies at work on Thursday and Friday. Nice to get back to exercising today with a trail run/walk! I'm totally drained from said work drama, so I just did what my bod... read more

    MMA! Much like Monday, we did floor work that was a lot of core and upper body work, and a lot of stick fighting, which was more upper body. Sooooo fun. :)

  18. RUN
    good 2 mi

    Pretty good 2. I'm still all-over sore from the weekend and class on Monday, but I had no major issues and kept a good pace.

  19. I can't move. Also didn't really sleep because I was dehydrated and already very sore. YEAH REST AND STRETCH DAY!!

    MMA! Bless Lawrence's soul, we didn't do quad-killers tonight. Jumping jacks and then right into knife/stick warm ups, followed by a ton of floor work, as we're moving on to grapplin... read more
