    March 7: 100 minutes bikram yoga

    March 8: first day not doing bikram in a looooong time but the class times didn't work for me today.
    Swam at the gym.... 26 laps...trying to gradually build up! I think I did 12 last time. Also, 500 ft rope pulling and lots of kettlebell exercises at home.

  • Sunday, March 9th:

    30 minutes StairMaster, realizing the less I climb on my toes or forefoot, and more weight I put in my heels & midfoot & activate my glutes, the better I am at this
    30 minutes shoulders, triceps & biceps
    30 minutes legs, getting a little better at lunges and upping the weight on the leg press

    March 9: back is back to being a little sore again. Not sure if it is because I missed a day of yoga or what I did to replace yoga.

  • No, I was making an assumption on what you did to replace the yoga
  • Monday, March 10th:

    I should never wear cute but painful shoes if I know I'm gonna be running in the evening, because my poor feet were still hurting me even after I took them off.

    Treadmill, running at 5.0, 5.3, 5.6, 5.8, 6.0 and walking at 2.5, somehow getting in a 5K distance, which took about 40 minutes
    Deadlifts, 5 x 5


    Tuesday, March 11th:

    20 minutes on StairMaster, couldn't do a step more, my legs were done in because of Sunday's leg day and yesterday's run
    60 minutes shoulders, chest & triceps routine

    Legs are most definitely done because I could barely stuff them into my jeans which fit fine two weeks ago. My quads are swollen.
  • March 11: 7 miles running (54:34)
    50 minutes working abs and core
    30 minutes foam rolling
  • March 10 PM: 21 min on arc trainer, DB tricep extensions, 100 KB deadlifts at 20 kg, 50 KB swings at 20 kg, planks.

    March 11: Relaxing lunch walk, prob 1.5 miles

    March 12: 15 min on stair stepper, 1:00 in 7:36 on treadmill, calf raises, leg raises, planks.

    How many calories are burned per hour b!tching about the weather do you think?
  • Oh, Jen, you are getting clobbered, I know. My mother's holed up at home, telling me it looks like blizzard conditions and about two feet expected through tomorrow.

    Wednesday, March 12th:

    45 minute spin class, very sparse attendance, because of the rain and general gloom, and expected freeze over tonight. But nothing like what is happening Upstate.

    How bad is it that I JUST figured out what you were talking about!
    Guess that means I've been married 26 plus years....
