Good morning, cheetahs!
Never made it back yesterday. Had a kind of hard day at work, so I thought I’d take a quick nap after the chiro before my w/out. When I woke up, my back was back to these darn shooting pains. Too intense to work out. So, it was an unplanned rest day for me.
Am still in pain this morning (movin’ around like a 90-year-old grandma), but I’m going to try to loosen up with some gentle stretching in a few minutes and see if I can at least get in the bi’s & tri’s this morning and hopefully feel good enough to do BC tonight. It definitely feels worst after I have been resting.
Wendi :: sounds like you enjoyed a great run despite getting lost…Good thing you carry your cell phone with you! I’ve wondered sometimes if I should do that, but don’t know where to put it…re: the exchange…would the end of this month give you enough time to decide?
Lori :: I love the new series…haven’t done it all yet…only BC & KB, legs, and the ab work, plus I’ve practiced the first two combos on LIS…I prefer to run alone, too, but on rare occasions, I will run with a friend. Never feel like my run is as good b/c of the talking factor…I agree that you should explain your new preferences to your friend. If you ran together for four years, she may be wondering if she’s done something to offend you. I wouldn’t use the schedule as your reason since it’s clear she’s still trying to make that work. IMO, the best thing is to be honest and simply tell her what you’ve told us – that it’s not personal but running with a stroller and talking is hurting your training, and you prefer to go it solo.
Wendy :: I hope your neck feels better today and you can work out. I sure was feelin’ your frustration about not bein’ able to work out last night!…Oh, you asked me about my ol’ HM time…it was 2:29…Yes, I cannot have tea/coffee, red sauces, etc. for 48 hours after the whitening procedure. Today I go back to get fitted for some kind of tray.
Christine :: I have been watching with horror, too…Our local news showed how much of the state is on fire by showing a comparable map of our area. It is unbelievable.
Carole :: So, are you feeling the DOMS today? Loved your workout review. I don’t have the much-raved-about shoulder work on my schedule til Sunday, but you cheetahs have me itchin’ to get to it!!
Lorie :: good job sticking to your new reduced-mileage plan. Hope you got a better night's sleep last night.
Shelly :: hope you enjoyed the new trail…that is funny that the movie was set in Bisbee! Have heard good things about it but have not had a chance to get to the movies since the summer. Have missed some good ones…BC was the plan, IS the plan for tonight. I agree, it’s tough!!
Jackie :: yes, I do feel the chiro makes a difference…this time, I really did a number on myself though…I have to get back to getting regular massages again…I was getting one per month through July, and since then, I haven’t gone. I agree with you that there is benefit to getting them regularly.
Judy :: hope Rocky is OK!
OK, time to move my rump! Some stretching and then I'll attempt bi's & tri's!!
Have a GREAT day, everyone!
