I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that.

Well, for every great day it seems there needs to be a crappy day that follows. I went to step class (which I normally love) and it sucked today. She did so much jumpings and turning and I thought I was going to fall on my butt. My shins really started to hurt too. My lower back is still giving me a little grief so I am off to the Chiropractor this afternoon. I think my hip flexors are really tight and that is what is causing my back pain. I'm really trying to stretch good and hopefully it'll feel better. After Step I jumped on the treadmill and ran 1 1/2 miles to finish out my workout. Also did Back/biceps and lots of stretching.

You need to do some YOGA!

Hope you are feeling 100% soon!

If there was only enough hours in the day and I didn't have 5 kids.ha ha. I do yoga on Sunday mornings sometimes but it gets hard with church stuff. I feel so much better when I do it though.

I just go once a week (Thursdays) but it helps. The instructor knows me and my hip issues, so she always caters the class to me. I will need it tomorrow!

I need to find just a basic Yoga for runners video that I can do it home while I listen to my kids scream and kill each other. That is how I have mastered being the mother of 5---ignore them until they are bleeding!

Oh yeah, I've got ya there...I ignore even after they are bleeding.Ha, ha

I always have a good race when I get stretched out and even a good massage a couple of days before.

Do you go to the 6:00 a.m. Lifetime step class?

From Michelle N. on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 15:30:08

No, I actually go at 9:00. I love Ashli, who teaches. She is awesome. Julie said you are there burning away on the treadmills early.

From RivertonPaul on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 16:06:36

I figured you didn't go to Jody's 6:00 a.m. class or you'd know I am a regular.

From Michelle N. on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 16:13:05

I really like Jody too. She subs sometimes for Ashli. I only can handle a few days a week of "earlier than 7:00" mornings. That is great that you do step though. We have 2 guys that are regulars in my class and they are so good.
