sounds like you need to be stretching b4 and after, and maybe spacing the running out a little bit more??????

I've been doing the stretching, and I hope that cutting back the distance helps. Problem is when I travel, there aren't usually a lot of other workout options, you know?

I got some workout options for ya when you travel. How about: 15 squats, 10 pushups, and 5 pullups. Get as many rounds as possible in a 20 minute time span.....sound easy? haha

Pylon

I've done that one! I was tinkering with Crossfit. Got through 7 cycles, plus a little. Guh.

Speaking of which, just got back from NC. While there, got invited to attend a hot room yoga class. 90 minutes, but a great time. It will be on my to do list each time I'm out there, for sure!

Both!


Constantly.

Well, yes, but how much will depend on what I hear about Eric Johnson's knee. He hurt it trying to step out of a moving golf cart. Maybe a sprain, maybe shredded. Too swollen to know yet.

You would think a pro athlete could pull off a move that hundreds of inebriated "golfers" execute every day....

So, good week so far. Even got myself to skip Chinese tonight for dinner.

On the road tomorrow, packed gym gear, have a Gold's mapped out for when I get there. Good times.

I think that may be a deal breaker in our friendship buddy.

On the road again this week. Just got to sunny Augusta, GA. Did 30 min on the elliptical.

First hotel I can recall with ellipticals (2) and treadmills (2), but no bikes. Odd.

Heya Burnsey!

No odoriferousness detected when the class started, but there we plenty of sweaty yoga chicks after. Good times!

Well, dinner was a success too. Went to the "downtown" area, reminds me of Mizzou, really. But no record stores.

Found a tapas place, had some hummus, tepenad, and spinach on pita. Also what they called mango mole, but it was really more like shredded mango and chiles. Good stuff. And a couple of cold brews.

Still feeling energetic, so I just did a second workout. Did a Tabata session in the "gym" here. They have DBs, so did this one with squat presses using 20s. Guh. I barely finished. And to think I was going to use 35s!

LOL sounds like someone had to much fun at yoga. I may take a class if there are a lotta hot chicks.

Seriously Py... I don't know how you do it. We, from the west coast have no idea of how good your food is there... when we went on our trip in June, our connecting flight was in North Carolina and we ate at this place called Bojanges Chicken and Biscuits.... OMFG! I've never tasted chicken so full of fat, crispy and good as that!!! I would be a gazillion pounds if I lived there.

Double D

I like the fact you have a mizzou tiger instead of a St.Louis Ram.....dont blame ya

Pylon

Thanks, Katt. Yeah, I don't always do very well, hence the perpetual cut. But when things are going well, it helps.

Truth be told, though, none of the fried chicked down here is nearly as good as my mom's....

Thanks, Scar. Feeling pretty good!

No workouts this weekend outside of a nice walk in the park with the family yesterday. Did pretty good on food too.

Off day today. It's our 12 yr anniversary, so we are dropping the boys off at the grandparents and headed to the winery for the day. Should be fun, not to mention a great day to be outside (80 and sunny)!

Gym day...

SS HS incline - 140 x 4 (up 2 reps)

DB pullovers - 75 x 10 (up 10 lb)
