Another treadmill run today and my shins are feeling pretty good. It looks like I have so far I have prevented a more long term injury. I’m hopeful that if I try to build more slowly I’ll get to my goals. I was feeling tired driving to the Y. This time a day is my [...]

I decided today that if I log all of my stretching time, it will encourage me to take more time to do it.

I took the time to do a very thorough and complete job of stretching. I did as many stretches from yoga and other experiences I have had that I could think of. I know I need to devote more time to it - the feeling in my hips during pigeon pose definitely confirmed this!

First let me say that this was one of the worst weeks I have had in a while.  Work really interferred with my exercising.  Sunday night I had to go into work to take care of one of my sister-in-law’s cats. I didn’t leave work until 11 PM and then got a flat tire on [...]

I felt great today in class!  After the off week I have been having it felt great to put in a really good session.
