I know, dear blog, I haven’t updated in a while, but really! A lot has been happening! I promise from here on out to keep you posted!
So what’s been going on? I completed yet another round of P90X. Still not seeing the results I want to see, but geez! I am strong! I’ve seen some [...]
Yes, it’s been a while, but it’s also been a while since I’ve worked out. Technically, that is.
I’m just going to make this easy and start by saying that I finished 90 days of P90X. I didn’t see the results I wanted, however, I did feel much, much stronger, which came in handy for our [...]
Seriously. I don’t know how much more I can get sidelined with running. First it was shin splints, then what I think might be anterior compartment syndrome, then I go and drop a weight on my toe. Ouch. is. right.
I have honestly forgotten what week I’m suppposed to be on for my running training. I [...]
It’s week 6 in my P90X workout and week 4 of my running training and here’s what’s happening:
P90X - Going good so far. I’m not seeing any physical differences, really, but I am stronger. I continue to make improvements in that department. I’m just waiting for the physical results to catch up! I have [...]

Monday was week 3, so it was 90 seconds of running followed by 90 seconds of recovery walking, then 3 minutes of running followed [...]

Today was my final day of week 2 running (really, it’s my 3rd week - I did week 1 twice!) and guess what I did? I ran barefoot. I did it to see if I could notice any difference in my calves and shins during running and there was no difference. I ended up with [...]
I’m really beginning to think I’m just not meant to be a runner.
See that picture? That’s my left leg. I’m pointing the camera down at it hopefully to show these knots on my outer shin. The arrows are pointing at them. This picture was taken immediately after running, but it goes away after a [...]
Here I am in my recovery week of P90X and let me tell you, it’s NOT easy. But that’s not the part I’m really excited about.
I’m excited about running.
I mentioned in my previous post that I started running because it’s something on my “things to do” list, also known as my bucket list. Running goes [...]
Yes, at 46 years old, I wonder if I can whip myself into shape. That is, a relative facsimile of the shape I was in during my 20s and 30s. Only better.
I have to say, I had some pretty rockin’ abs back in the day. Not only that, but I could purposely come within 1/2 [...]
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “a flexible body equals a flexible mind” or some variation of it. Think of the meaning behind that statement. What does it mean to you?
Here’s what it means to me:
Physically - keep yourself limber, flexible. Stretch. Up and down. Whether through hatha yoga or some simple stretching. Doesn’t matter. [...]
