Happy Monday!! I'm tired this morning. I had a busy weekend. I worked out in the morning and then was at my mom's house on Saturday working in her yard. Yesterday was a 9 mile run. It was a gorgeous morning and cool as well. I got home and did stuff around the house. By the afternoon I...

Tricia ~ Congratulations on Stephen's graduation! Good job on golfing in the damp and cold weather. Alicia ~ I hope you are feeling better. The hike with your dad sounds nice. I did a small 5K race on Saturday morning. It was a gorgeous morning and always fun to hear roosters crowing on...

Tricia ~ I'm sorry to hear about Stephen's dad. That is sad and shocking. I hope everything works out on that end and you get the estate settled quickly. I'm sending you good thoughts, prayers and positive vibes. Don't get caught up in the negative thoughts (I know that it's hard not to)...

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes was creepy and suspenseful. Here are a couple of selections for biographies: Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women's Sport by Kathrine Switzer. She ran the Boston Marathon in 1967 when it was an all-male event and she was...

Alisha ~ I'm glad your ankle is feeling better. I run 9 miles this morning. It's getting warmer here so I had to get up extra early to get out there. Yesterday was a kettlebell, ball slam workout mixed in with some running. Happy May Day!!

Hello! My run on Saturday was fun. I took 3rd place in my age group. It was a small race. Afterwards we had onion rings. Delicious! My knees are feeling better and did not bother me at all. I ran 3.5 miles tonight. It was in the low 80's, breezy and overcast so it was a good run. On...

My 2 favorite kettlebell dvds are: Firepower by Anthony DiLuglio and The Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout by Keith Weber (Dragon Door).

Alisha ~ I don't think so. I think this should be the April/May thread. I can't believe April is half over. Where does the time go? I'm glad you are getting some walks in and taking your time. I have been working out consistently. I did a 5K last weekend. It was small - under 50 people...

I have loved Maggie O'Farrell since I read "After You'd Gone" a long time ago. I did not know that she had a new book coming out. I will have to add it to my Amazon list.

I am 54 and this is similar to what I do. I do one day of lifting heavy, I run 2 days a week and other days I do cardio intervals with weights. In these workouts weights = dumbbells, barbells, medicine balls, kettlebells, sandbags. I have been doing this for a while and have gotten good results.

Happy Monday! We fell to the second page. I hope everyone had a great Easter. We really didn't do much. It rain all weekend so I did not get my runs in but I did workout doing jump rope, sit ups, squats and farmer's walk.

I have had my Vitamix since 2013. I love it! I really just use it to make smoothies but I recently got a dry container to make almond flour and my own cornmeal. I do make oat flour in the dry container but you can probably make it the regular container. I bought mine from QVC. They seem to...

I do my workouts after work around 6:00 p.m. My workouts can last anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour depending on what I'm doing that day. Working out in the evenings doesn't interfere with my sleep. I go to bed around 9:30 and fall asleep right away (a teaspoon of raw, unfiltered honey...

Alisha ~ Sorry about the cavity. Yikes! I hope your right knee/leg is feeling better. Although it must be since you did 2 miles on Saturday. I have been working out and feeling good. I did a workout on Saturday morning that involved, swings, jump rope, kettlebell presses and various walks...

I have fully recovered....finally!! I have been working out as well. I did not do a long run on Sunday because it was supposed to rain (which it never did) but I did do running workouts on both Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday I did a weight workout. Tonight is a rest day. Alisha ~ I hope the...

I recovered well enough to do the race on Sunday morning. It was a gorgeous trail and beautiful weather. My sister and I both struggled a little due to being sick but it was well worth it. It was my slowest 1/2 marathon but the course was 13.4 miles plus we got turned around so I'm sure we...

I love tiger balm. It comes in different forms but I like the liniment. It goes on clear and is not sticky.

I can't believe it's March already! I'm still dealing with my sinus issues but getting better finally. I felt better last weekend and did a 10K race which is one of my favorites but then had a relapse on Sunday night going into Monday. I've been coughing like crazy but I feel like I have...

I have been out of it for the last week. I'm dealing with some sinus issues. I worked out last Thursday and had a 5K race on Saturday. I didn't feel 100% but it was a nice morning and I didn't do too back. I ended up taking 2nd in my age group out of 5. My sister finished 3rd. On Sunday I...
