Negin Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I just did Jessica Smith's 30-Minute Barefoot Fusion Walk. She has lots and lots of free workout videos and her dog, Peanut, is adorable . This was a good workout. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I haven't posted in a while, but yesterday I ran/walk a very slow 5k that was supposed to be my half marathon. First trimester exhaustion and half training did not mix well for me. It was still a beautiful day in my most favorite place to run, complete with a bald eagle perched in a tree about 3/4 of a mile into the course. Right now I'm trying to talk myself into getting up from my very comfortable king-size hotel bed to go for a walk to stretch my sore muscles. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yesterday was 14000 steps but none running :(. Ran this morning though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks, rieshy! I did finally manage to get out for a 1.89 mile walk with a very little bit of running with DD. We're doing a bit of hiking this afternoon, but nothing too strenuous. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTulip Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Today is a rest day for me and I really need it. We pulled out a ton of huge and overgrown shrubs in our front yard yesterday and our pile is about 16'x10' and then 5 feet high. I can barely move. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I ran 3 miles on Saturday and 4 miles today. I'm hoping to have a mini running streak. Maybe 5 days in a row? Tuesday will be the hard day to get it in. But maybe I can get back to some sort of normal schedule with my workouts. I've been lucky to hit 3 or 4 days a week, and it's taking a toll on me emotionally. You really get used to having that time and your body gets used to being able to work out all of that stress. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 4 mile walk before church- I'm hoping for some stretching and jujitsu drills but that may not be a realistic hope... Busy busy time of year. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just lots of steps around the house then a walk with the dog. It poured with rain most of the day. 12,000 steps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hey all, back from 2 nights and 3 days of camping, lots and lots of walking/hiking for me, mixed with running and go, go, going. Yesterday I even managed a session of yoga/stretching/mutu in the am in the grass to the sunrise before everyone got up and going. Today we broke camp and I came home and crashed, I didn't sleep well- hormones it seems- and with all the busyness and adrenaline from the stress of it all (myself and another girl were in charge of everything and this was our first time doing it on our own) and my body needs a break. *hoping* that I sleep well tonight and can get back at it tomorrow. 1 more week until vacation but now that the camping trip is out of the way I can focus on planning my own :) May due a low key walk this evening. Oh, and I did do some Mutu this morning as well, have a couple exercises left to do. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Dd, dh, and I walked to and from the farmers' market this morning, about 5 miles roundtrip, with a lovely section through the hilly woods :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 About to do a Classical Stretch: Slenderizing Your Core & then I'm going swimming. Hopefully, the moon will still be out. I'm crazy about the moon. :) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Managed a bit of walking yesterday evening after a nap when I felt a bit human again..... Slept a zillion times better last night, still not quite enough but I wasn't awake in the night. I always have that 3 days of insomnia before my period but now, still no period. I forgot to stop my progesterone when I was supposed to and I think it delayed it. In other news I'm taking a pregnancy test today to rule that out. I think it is just whacked hormones but I need to know because I'm real late and before I sign up for YTT or go on vacation I want to have that ruled out, 'cause it is stressing me out, and I don't need anymore stress right now!!! Today- light stretching/yoga this am, my body and mind need easy today!!!!!!, Mutu, walk I'm sure- the weather is gorgeous Will miss Yoga tonight have a banquet and I have to be there early. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the normal Monday Boy Scout meeting and dh is working evenings. -sigh- am I the only mom looking forward to the end of school? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have recital coming up this weekend too and the end of our hs group event, which I'm not planning, cause we leave in a week for a 2 week vacation and that alone is enough to plan!!!

wintermom Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I did double duty with tennis yesterday; singles in the morning with dh, mixed doubles after supper. I was tired and sore by the end of the night, but it's a good pain. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Day one of Insanity Max 30. I maxed out at 8:11 and lost my breakfast at 16:32. Can you tell I haven't done cardio in 2 months? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 4 mile run this morning. I've been going through some tough things with my dd17, as well as with homeschooling in general, and it made this morning's run a bit harder. I felt like stopping and crying for a while. The park is so pretty this time of year. It was nice to run through that and good to work out some of that stress. We have a concert tonight then next weekend is recital weekend, with 4 of my kids having recitals. I am also looking forward to our vacation in 2 weeks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Stressful dr visit w dd---referral to GI clinc at the children's hospital. I am thankful for the 100 minutes of exercise early today. I may need to order many, many cubic yards of mulch to get through the month. The shoveling and wheelbarrowing is cathartic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to order many, many cubic yards of mulch to get through the month. The shoveling and wheelbarrowing is cathartic. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. Best wishes to you both. Thank you for the reminder about the 'joy of mulch'. I lost that joy last night and developed the 'crossness of mulch' instead, because: mulching windbreaks as well as beds (not as planned); doing it with only very minor help (not as expected); tired. But, you are right: there's a special joy in painting the garden brown.... Today: pouring with rain; will go to yoga, and walk the dog (because needs must). ETA: 11,800 steps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTulip Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yesterday I ripped out three more big bushes in my front yard. Today I will do the last one and then hopefully, the stump grinder guy can come this afternoon. Once he is done, I will move loads of mulch onto the area where the bushes were, and then plant a ton of perennials and other flowers. This is my favorite time of year - I love working in the yard, and it's a good work out! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yesterday during Yoga Class we worked on arm balance and I was able to do 8 Limbed Staff Pose for the first time, although only on one side so far: http://www.yogajournal.com/pose/eight-angle-pose/ and firefly with my legs straight this time!!! http://www.yogajournal.com/article/advanced-poses/challenge-pose-4-steps-lift-firefly/ I was so psyched, I love it when I'm able to do something I wasn't able to before. I believe every muscle in my arms was sore, even ones I didn't know existed :) Met for the Yoga Teacher Training, was a good meeting, I'm still feeling positively about it, usually I start feeling anxious but not this time. However, I'm going to sit on a bit. I think I want to give it at least until I get back from vacation to make my decision. She said I had about 6 weeks or so. Slight monkey wrench.... my teacher here mentioned about possibly doing teacher training here but she hasn't done it before or started the process. so. Of course that would make it way easier on my, no need to go off and stay the night anywhere but there is the fact that it isn't established yet, not sure on how many people it would be going through it. I need to talk to her more.... Today's plan- Yoga Class- pm Mutu-am Walk- if the rain holds, short one, dd seems to have an ear infection and I didn't get much sleep at all 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training programs of any sort are hard to choose, on paper they may look great but the energy of the group makes such a difference. Btw, to do the eight angle pose do you have to have 3 feet like the picture? Or are my eyes making things up? Planned for the day: 4-6 mile walk. Martial arts skill work, stretching, light kettle bell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Flying by. I'm just gonna give everyone a Good Job :grouphug: Yesterday i hauled three loads of things from my garage to the town dumpster (1 week a year chance). I generally cleaned and organized and sneezed and choked in there for an hour and a half. Our "garage" is a giant cinderblock building that once housed a mechanics shop. It is not a nice, new attached suburban model. Anyway I worked hard enough that I counted it as exercise. I was gone all afternoon but squeezed in weights and yoga last night. I've already been on an early run this morning because it's another *#%^@ long day out of the house today. Everyone enjoy the day if possible and if it's not....I don't know, enjoy wine? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
