    Feb. 5: 100 minutes bikram yoga. I was quite distracted by my own mind in class which made the class more difficult than necessary. Hopefully I will have a more peaceful class today.

  • February 6: 7 miles running treadmill incline 2% (1:01:41)
    30 minutes foam rolling
  • Feb. 6: YAYOG in the morning. Cancelled my run because it was too cold, then got a friend to bring me to the Y as a guest tonight and got it done on the treadmill! Faster than outdoors, but the treadmill is easier, so I think it evens out.
  • Friday, Feb. 7th:

    30 minute StairMaster, the usual
    60 minutes back & biceps routine

    I wish I could forget about the scale, as everyone advises on strength training.
  • Weather is killing me. We got 12 of snow. Yes, shoveling was my workout. It took forever. Today we started at -13 and we're now up to 1. That means I'm writing this while on the treadmill. Yoga to follow.

    7 miles running treadmill incline 2% (1:02:55)
    30 minutes foam rolling
  • Saturday, Feb. 8th:

    60 minute spin class, with me peddling diligently through the weight and resistance band intervals, because my wrist is sore and I don't want to mess with it

    saef, just for info - is that how you spell it in US Eng? Like meddle? BrEng spells it pedalling - which has come up with red dots underneath it so it must be odd to the 3FC spellchecker. How do you spell the thing you put your foot on? Peddle? For us, it's pedal.

    Thanks. As you were. Love the language.

    And sorry about your wrist. Support bandage?
  • I think pedal is right.
  • February 8: 60 minutes weight lifting (late, delta, biceps)
    P90X 3 Isometric (30 mins)
    P90X 3 Pilates (30 minutes)
    30 minutes foam rolling
  • Birchie, you're right, I did not spell that correctly. It's a homophone. In U.S. English, it would be pedaling, with a single "l." Peddling would mean I was trying to sell various wares in spin class. I am not one of those women who "do crafts" or try to make pin money on Etsy, so that my choice of verb was inaccurate.

    Sunday, Feb. 9th:

    30 minutes StairMaster, just a little easier than on a Friday, still tough
    30 minutes shoulders, biceps & triceps routine
    30 minutes leg routine
  • February 9: 13 miles running treadmill incline 2% (1:55:55)
    Bryan Kest Power Yoga (60 mins)
    30 minutes foam rolling
  • Feb. 8 YAYOG. Supposed to run, but didn't because it just kept snowing!
    Feb. 9 YAYOG, spent the day skiing. It was supposed to be my YAYOG rest day, but I felt bad about not running, yet not bad enough to brave the snow and cold like the tough woman I wish I were. So I did my quick little workout, then went skiing for the first time in about a decade. I'm not sure how much of a workout it was (the way I ski), but hey--walking around the lodge in ski boots sure felt like it should count for something. And my legs are tired and knees hurt. So it counts as exercise.
