Good morning cheetahs! You are all so early with your posts! Lately I've been running first, then posting. The earlier I get my run in the better. The heat builts up so soon and really saps my strength! I did 5 miles today (felt great!), Later I'm going for some YogaX.
Christine- Hope you got the motivation you needed. Have fun with IMAX2. Everyone loves that one but for some reason it is my least favorite of her interval tapes. My fav is IMAX3. I just love your story about getting a stuffed cheetah
I hope you do post a pic!
Marcia- What works for me when I lack motivation is a change in routine. Something to make it more exciting again. Pick a new route or if feasible a new running outfit, gadget, whatever. Get some new workout DVD or do one you haven't touched in a while. Good luck, we all go through this!
Laura- I agree that your perceived level of exertion and whether or not you can talk okay is a far better indicator of how well you are tolerating a run. RELAX cheetahbabe!
Wendy- It sure does sound like you need more space. You were smart in how you've picked a realtor!!! Go with your instincts rather than who gave you the best potential sale price! I've bought and sold houses more times than I can count! The hardest part about selling is keeping the house clean!!!
At least for me ;-)
Have a great spinning day!
Judy- If at all possible I hope you see a doc (one who specializes in sports injuries) I really think you need to get the diagnosis pinned down! Since your pain does not involve the knee at all it may not be ITB syndrome. Anyway, I'm happy to hear your are resting from running for now!
Hi Jess, aka muggyrunner! Sorry you're having toe trouble! Your poor tootsies
You will absolutely LOVE the gym styles. I feel they are Cathe's masterpiece weight workouts! the PFChang's marathon I signed up for is a FULL one
(my first) but there is also a half marathon.
Carole- Tai Chi? Sounds interesting....and an excellent workout to do in your taper period. I read Danny Dreyer's book "Chi Running" a few months ago and incorporate his method in my own running. It has really helped. I just love your smiley laying in the sun yesterday!! too cute.
Barb- I also HATE stretching, which is terrible because I know how very important it is. I just have no patience for it. I think I've gotten better though.
Gayle- Have a great tempo run! PLB always gives me DOM as well!
Glad to hear your still doing well.
Elaine- WELCOME BACK! How nice to hear from ya! Sounds like you had a great vacay---you'll be back in top form in no time. Good luck on your half coming up....we want pics!!!!
Got to run- later cheetahbabes!
