rieshy Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Rest Day for me- though I'm going to throw in a slow and easy stretch session: I watched Ronda Rousey doing this opening shoulder routine (it's near the beginning and she used a short staff); I tried it yesterday morning- it felt fabulous and after all my bush and tree cutting of yesterday afternoon my shoulders and arms need some serious love. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Dh and I are going to take a 6 (or is it 7?) mile hike, the long way around town, to the farmers' market and back home. It's a bit chilly still so we're enjoying third cups of decaf first :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Very frosty and dark 10K through the country this beautiful morning. I was slow but it felt great. After mile 2 when I finally warmed up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 6.4 miles with a stop for our veggies and lunch at Chipotle :) A nice way to spend a few hours together! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I had planned on running today, because I wasn't able to run yesterday, but when I got up I could tell I needed yoga instead. So I did a nice 90 minute vinyassa class from YogaGlo. I also took a lovely 4 mile walk. It's 60 and sunny. The park looked so pretty. The leaves are changing and the sunlight was sparkling on the pond. Since I normally run in the morning I usually only see mist on the pond. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Gorgeous 5k walk this a.m. Chilly too:) Can feel the arthritis in my hands charging up with the weather change:( Short weightlifting session followed by 5+ hours at MMA tonight. I Love Mondays. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 4 mile run this morning. It was cold. My legs stayed cold the entire time, but the rest of me was fine, even a bit warm. A very odd feeling. I clearly need warmer tights. Forgot to add that I'm going to power yoga tonight. :) It will be very warm in there, over 90 degrees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Lots of stretching and yoga this morning. That may be all there is time for but such is life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just a training session and gardening today. Well, de-gardening, that is. We had a frost last night so it's time to pull the plants out :( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I did 30 mins on my nordic track and will do 30 mins of tracy anderson when the kids go off to rehearsal. Right now they are between class and rehearsal so I have to wait, lol. And we had our first snowy day yesterday. :crying: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Power yoga last night was great. The instructor really helped me focus on inner thigh strength, which is an issue for me. This morning I did a 90 minute class from YogaGlo that focused on the core. I kept working those inner thighs too. Planning on a 30 minute walk later this afternoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Did my hour cardio kickboxing class tonight! Tomorrow I'm going to have to work out at home somehow because I can't make it to any classes. Time to drink more water and soak in the tub 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ran with my 5K pals - 2.something miles. We had a jogging stroller, dogs, and three kids on bikes. It was quite the entourage. One more run this week and then the 5K is on Saturday. It's a little anti-climactic, though. Should have signed up for the 10K. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 10k next time, Mamaraby! I had a nice 4 mile run in the dark this morning. Hoping for at least a 30 minute yoga practice later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 5 k walk with dh this morning. Tonight 5+ hours working/playing at MMA. My shoulders are still sore from all the hedge trimming and tree cutting I did this weekend. Ugh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's nice to see all the runners on this list seem back to running:) Tonight I have 2 MMA classes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 3.3 mile run today out on the trail - kids, dog, and dh with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 90 minute hot yoga class this morning, and I also got in a brisk 2 mile walk. I'm trying to enjoy every beautiful fall day that I can! I'm on day 5 of recording what I eat. Over the past few months I've gotten into a bad habit of eating too much in the evening. I'll do fine all day, but I'll start eating dinner and can't seem to stop. Also, probably a little too much wine. :) All of that put 5lb on me, mostly to my hips and thighs. So I decided to start recording my food again, in order to stop myself from pointless snacking and binging at night. It's not too hard not to snack, but oh my, I want to binge in the evening. By tracking, I can see that I've eaten enough and I need to stop. But wow, I forgot what a pain in the rear it is to track everything, especially when most of your food is homemade. I figure I need to do this for a few weeks, in order to stop the binge cycle. But right now, I just feel hungry! I want more food! Blah. I made some tea, and I'm done in the kitchen, so hopefully, I'll make it through the evening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 No snow since that first one..but more will show up. It always does. But there was that winter year three years ago when we had a blizzard for Halloween and then no snow again until April. Gotta love climate change. I did 2 miles in 20 mins on my NT and then a "30" min workout that took me closer to 50 mins, lol. I was doing the best I could to keep up, but it was hard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Never got to workout yesterday but apparently my body needed the break. Got my hour long cardio class in tonight but sadly pulled my hamstring at the beginning of it. I continued the class by slightly modifying things but it sure does hurt now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The testing doesn't technically start till January but I thought I'd go ahead and give up sugar. Evidently I'm a carb addict. It's killing me and I can't seem to get enough food without my medicinal chocolate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently I'm a carb addict. It's killing me and I can't seem to get enough food without my medicinal chocolate. I do love my chocolate. I usually eat 1 Trader Joe's dark chocolate carmel after dinner. It's my treat. I also like making a raw pudding from Oh She Glows, which is made using bananas, avocado, and almond butter (plus cocoa). It's yummy, but super high in calories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Lovely 4 mile run this morning. I woke up feeling yucky (favorite time of month :glare: ) and it was so foggy, but after dropping of my kids I went for my run. It felt so good. I even had music for the first time in months. My headphones had broke, so I just did without. I don't always run with music, just once in awhile, but some days it really helps. I bought a pair of Yurbuds yesterday and they're great. I had a pair of Skullcandy ones that were at least 4 years old, but these new ones don't hurt at all, stay in well, and have a little bit longer cord, which is good for threading through my clothes. So I was able to listen to Imagine Dragons while running around the park, which was nice. And my legs felt so good. My runs are finally good feeling and not torture.:) I also came home and did a little strength work. I had stopped doing that in order to focus on yoga, but decided it was time to add a little back in. My goal is twice a week. I just did 3 sets of 15 kettlebell swings, 3 squats, 3 presses, 5 rows and a 30 sec plank. It was good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Oooo, sweat proof earbuds! Dh is running through earbuds (second or third pair so far) like crazy. His recent pair started cutting out yesterday so I'll have to check out the Yurbuds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His recent pair started cutting out yesterday so I'll have to check out the Yurbuds. They were on sale at Target, which is what persuaded me to get them, they were 16.99 for the "traditional" ones, a bit more for the magnet ones or one with the mic. :) I'm not a pink person, but I bought the grey and pink ones so no one else in my house will take them. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 6 miles this morning. I didn't do a walk/run just run. :) It felt good, but it was hard. Enjoyed pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Love Saturdays. If I have the energy, I want to do Yin yoga later, maybe a short core workout first, then Yin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Open mat- fun but I ran out of steam before I should have. And that's after the rest day I took on Saturday. I'm just zapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 My first 5K race is over! According to my app, I ran my fastest pace yet. Not quite according to the official results. Ready for the next! Probably not this particular race, though. Wasn't impressed with how they handled the logistics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Mamaraby doens't mind but in case any of you missed the last posts from Saturday- I thought Mamaraby's first race being done was worth bringing forward to this week:) Today is a rest day for me- just some light walking and light stretching and lots of coffee. Edited to add- that here I went and put this on the old week- grrrr, needed more coffee before posting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
