BlueMoon~T 276 Posted May 19, 2014 Did my yoga today, as well as Sat. & Sun. I've also been using my exercise ball with my resistance bands in the afternoon, it takes me about 30 mins.to get through the resistance exercises and with the yoga is about 45 mins. My stamina has improved greatly and boy they both make me work up a sweat. Also, I'm headed out the door to go hike a five mile trail near my house. The weather is beautiful and I just want to be outside in it! 2 naenaern777 and catfish87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfish87 3,471 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Great job everyone! Todays 5 mile run felt really good! I think the break last week ( three days ) was what my body and mind needed. Ran strictly by HR today, targeting 85-87% of my max HR. I think I will target a 9:09/mile for my Memorial day biathlon....followed by the bike ride. I'd like to get another Half Marathon in UNDER 2:00 this year, so I need to get the 5 mile time around 8:55. Todays run http://connect.garmin.com/activity/502855355 Edited May 19, 2014 by catfish87 2 naenaern777 and BlueMoon~T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SillyAuntDi 1,610 Posted May 19, 2014 I made it to a boxing class yesterday morning. I've rounded up my group to go again Thursday. It's an awesome hour of therapy. Every punch releases a little bit of stress. 5 BlueMoon~T, readysetg070113, Debbie3sons and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueMoon~T 276 Posted May 20, 2014 Did my Yoga and attempted to match my movements with the more difficult poses. Also, did my resistance bands exercises. I am hurting today after my hike yesterday. Muscles are aching where I didn't even know I had muscles. But, I'm feeling accomplished!! 3 Mikee57, catfish87 and naenaern777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueMoon~T 276 Posted May 21, 2014 Did my yoga, I'm still pushing myself to do the moderate poses. Geez Louise yoga makes me sweat! My dogs were very rambunctious this morning so I took them on a walk. We were gone for about an hr. I guess I need to invest in a pedometer. It's overcast and a little humid here in MO. Suddenly I hear Little Orphan Annie singing... The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. Oh! Geez...that's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. Sorry!! 2 Mikee57 and catfish87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMoon~T 276 Posted May 21, 2014 Update: I've been wanting to start running, but I keep telling myself I can't because of my health issues. My Dr. told me to go slow and see how I feel. So, today I downloaded Couch-to-5k. Wish me luck! 4 naenaern777, catfish87, readysetg070113 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
