Jogglers September

Cindi - I'm so sorry to hear that! Sending big (HUGS)

Tricia - I'm glad you are enjoying your yoga! I love yoga but didn't get to do much this weekend as my FitTV wasn't coming in well with the rain.

Jane - Glad you had a good 5K and no wrong turns. Thanks for thinking of me :)

Alisha - Hope you enjoyed your hike/jog thingie!

I had three days in a row with no workouts but got close to 10,000 steps in most days (over on two days, 9,000 one day). I did Supersets and the first two sections of High and Tight on Sunday and did Bum Bum this morning.

10 Weighted Squats
10 Swings
Phase III - 10 Minutes

We finally had rain this morning after about 3 weeks without it. The temperatures will be dropping into the 80's during the day and low 60's at night. Yay!

Lisa ~ Good job on your steps. Some of the horses I saw on Saturday were so pretty. A couple of them trotted over to the fence and I so wanted to stop and visit with them but it was a race after all.

Tricia ~ I hope your back is feeling better today and that your PT appointment when well too.

Hi Alisha and Cindi!
 
Cindi - Prayers and healing energy to your Dad! I hope he comes out of the coma quickly!

Lisa - Hey, walking is good too! A nice change up! I always quit doing yoga after one or two attempts because of the difficulty with poses. This one is great! I may even be able to keep it up! Definitely getting more of the Shiva Rea ones!

Alisha - Yay! Nice joggle today!

Jane - I like that workout! A good rain is wonderful for bringing the temps down!

Well, my PT appointment went great! No stupid exercises, just a few to offset the bad posture at my desk which is soooo not ergonomic! She gave me some significant soft tissue massage and that electric pulse thingy! I love that! I actually feel pretty good tonight! Of course, I didn't spend much time doing regular typing today. We had a bunch of real estate closings, so most of my days was cutting checks and distributing packages! I'm hopeful that I'll be back to full swing soon! I may even try a short run in the morning even if it rains! Nothing too crazy, I promise!

Well, I was disappointed that the Workout Blender ended up not being ready today. Big bugs. Maybe tomorrow! I was planning on playing with it tonight, but, alas, no go!

Have a great night everyone!
 
Hi ladies. Things seem to be better for dad. They had some responsiveness from him yesterday - he was responding to commands to squeeze their hand, wiggle his toes, open his eyes. Still getting help with breathing and his HR and BP are spiking when he becomes more alert so then they give him a sedative to put him back to sleep so it's a lot of trial and error. They are going to try to get him breathing on his own today.

They think he's in some kind of pain (maybe his back - which he has an implant to stimulate the muscles and help with that) so they are trying to address the pain which theoretically would help him relax so he can wake up fully without the crazy BP and HR issues.

Once they get that sorted out, then they can assess where he is mentally - they still have to sort out the manic depression which is what put him in the hospital in the first place.

The good news is EEG shows now seizure activity since Saturday. The poor guy is like a giant chemistry experiment.

I did do my leg work when Honor was at tennis last night. Just used the machines and went heavy to take the place of the MESO 3 workout. Spin class tonight.

OH! I also ran 3 miles Saturday and the heal felt really good. I took my time, really warmed up, then ran 1 mile - cooled down, stretched, ran another - cooled down, stretched, ran a third, cooled down, stretched a lot.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers.
 
Hi Everyone!

I'm going for a joggle today - either 4 or 5 miles. I'm SO excited because it is in the mid 80's today with only 44% humidity. I think I need to pull out my winter clothes! LOL!! :p It's going to be nice to run without feeling like I'm running through wet towels.

Cindi ~ I'm so glad you dad is doing better. I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. Congrats on your 3 mile run as well. It sounds like you are playing it really safe with is smart. Good job!

Tricia ~ I'm glad you PT appointment went well. Yay!!

Hi Lisa and Alisha

Hope everyone is having a great day!
 
Hi, I did a Leslie Sansone 3 mile walk this morning, I was planning on doing Step Moves, but now I dont know where the disc is. Its got to be around here somewhere, its not like I take it places! Tomorrow should be a joggle.

Jane- I am envious of your weather. Its going to be 101 deg. here. I dream of it being in the 80s.

Cindi- I hope your Dad is feeling better. Good job on your workout.

Tricia- Shiva Rae is in my top 5 of yoga instructors. It always seems that people think of yoga as being easy, until they try it.

Lisa- Did you get a workout in? or was it more walking? both are good.
 
Evening ladies!

Cindi - That's great news that your dad is responsive! I will continue to pray for him and all of you and send healing energy. I hope they get the HR/BP issues calmed down and his pain managed.

Glad your run went well and you aren't having problems with your heel!

Jane - Yep. You definitely need those winter warm up clothes now! lol! I'm glad the humidity is down! Have a great joggle!

Alisha - Gremlins must have decided to work out this morning! I'm sure you'll find it somewhere silly! Like right where you left it last! Happens to me all the time! (should I be admitting that?)

I actually ran a bit this morning. It was slow today. Didn't want to be too aggressive. Did just under 3 miles. It was hot, humid and windy! We've gotten some heavy rain today and it looks like it's going to be more of the same for the rest of the week! Ick! I stretched out really well when I got home and did my exercises like a good girl. I was able to stay off the meds completely today, but with a bit of tightness in my neck during work. Now, though, I have a screaming headache! It's this darn weather! Don't know why, but I'm starting to get HAs every time the weather is like this! That's going to be really annoying since we get quite a bit of rain up here in the fall and spring! Maybe I should buy some pharmaceutical stock?

Not sure what I'm going to do for a workout tomorrow, maybe some HIIT or yoga or both! Staying off the weights for a bit longer.

Have a great night everyone! Stay cool/warm/dry wherever you are!
 
I never did that step workout yesterday, life conspired against me, first it was the heat, then I had to pick up Mom from work (35 miles in each direction, seems like too much to walk;) ) and then I had to stop at the grocery store. I did get 40 min. of yoga in, advanced with Sarah Kline on Yoga Today. What a sweat fest that was! I had some fried chicken and bbq pork for dinner from the hot wok at the store. I don't suppose that counts as diet food, but, I was sooo hungry I justified it in my mind anyway:eek:. I did go for a joggle this morning. Phew, that was a toasty one. Its supposed to be just 98 deg. today. I was supposed to bake a birthday cake on Monday but it was too hot to turn on the oven!

Tricia- I still haven't found my Step Moves disc. dang Gremlins! do you think they are working out? or just playing frisbee? Humid and windy? yuck. You might do easy cardio instead of the HIIT, jumping and headaches don't mix.

Cindi- I am thinking of you and your Dad. All my fingers are crossed.

Hi Lisa! How many steps did you get today?

Has anybody ever had their rmr tested? Thats your resting metabolic rate tested? They put a mask on your face and measure the gasses expelled when you breathe and they watch your heart rate/blood pressure. Somehow they calculate how much calories you are burning from that. I heard about it on a podcast from the Running Vegan Mom. I don't know that I want to know I have the metabolic rate of a walnut.:D
 
Alisha - I've heard about RMR testing, too! I'd love to have it done! I think the YMCA brings people in sometimes to do it. I remember hearing either an interview on NPR or reading an article somewhere. I keep forgetting to check around and see if anyone does it! Hey! If I can remember, I should ask my PT about it at my appointment today. Maybe she'll know.

Knowing Gremlins, they're probably playing frisbee! I would find it for you if I could be there! I have a pendulum and can find things with it! That is so way cool!

I didn't work out this morning. I didn't schedule a particular workout and that was my downfall. I must ALWAYS have it on my calendar exactly what I'm doing or I sleep in. Oh well, I'm doing a CC tomorrow, maybe #5. I'm itching to start lifting weights again, but I'm still on the bench in that regard. I'm feeling much better though!

It is muggy here! No rain yet today, but 40% late tonight. It'll probably be raining in the morning for my run! Yay!

Have a great afternoon!
 
Good Afternoon!

I didn't go running yesterday. I got home, kicked off my pumps and my left ankle started hurting me. It hurt me on the inner part of the ankle right by the bone. It looked swollen so I decided not to go running. I have all my long runs coming up and I didn't want to make it worse. So I did an upper body workout instead. The ankle looked normal when I went to bed. I don't know what I did. It doesn't hurt me at all today. Weird!

So...I'm doing this workout tonight and I'm going to do some running afterwards.

Phase 1
10 minutes
Backyard run with sandbag
10 Thrusters
5 Kettlebell Squat Thrusts to a DL
Phase 2
10 minutes
10 Jumping Pull ups
15 Step jump overs
10 Kettlebell clean, squat and press 5/5
Phase 3
50 Swings
Run

Tricia ~ I'm glad you're feeling better.

Alisha ~ I've heard of RMR but have not been tested. I hope it's a little cooler by you today. We seem to be in the 80's pattern right now and may be in the 70's for a couple of days over the weekend. Wow...do you think I might be able to turn off the A/C for a day or two. It's been running since May or maybe April.


Hi Cindi and Lisa!
 
Hi ladies

Beautiful weather here. Sunny and 70ish.
Spin class last night and today too.

Thank you for the continued prayers - Dad was off the ventilator yesterday, slow to respond but awake and stable in terms of HR and BP. Mom is visiting him today so I'll know more after she calls me. Hopefully they can get working on the psychiatric side now and he won't have any more seizures.

Alisha - I have heard about the RMR testing but not done it myself. I'm curious about it though.

Glad you are feeling better, Tricia!

Hi Jane and Lisa. :)
 
Jane - Nice workout! Did you manage to get a run in?

Cindi - Lucky you! We've been in the upper 70s to low 80s, but humid! Now we have that storm heading up this way. It rained Monday and Tuesday. Had a little sun today, but cloudy and raining again until Saturday, THEN we drop into the 60s! Woo-Hoo!

Hello Lisa! How are things?
 
Hi ladies,
I did Supersets plus part of High and Tight Sunday, Bum Bum Monday, AOS Brooklyn yesterday and haven't worked out today. I've gotten 12,000-13,000 steps in per day up until today. (I can't remember when I last checked in.)

I handed Dylan back to his mom late Monday night and today I dropped Shep off with his ride to Pennsylvania. I finish up a round of puppy classes this week so hopefully I'll have a little more time to workout and catch up on things. I haven't been sleeping well and am quite tired lately... And slack about checking in... :eek:

Cindi - I'm glad your dad is doing better.

Jane - Hope you ankle feels better!

Tricia - Enjoy CC and thanks for asking :)

Alisha - Darn gremlins. Around here we always blame the cats.

Lisa
 
Lisa - I hope you start getting some good sleep! I'll send you some relaxing energy! From what I've seen of you on FB, you've been one very busy dog lover!

No worries about checking in! Take care of you!
 
This morning I did Lower Body Blast Premix from Supersets plus two rounds of abs and High and Tight. I need to walk my dogs this afternoon and Andy is coming to visit and I have puppy class so that's my afternoon.

Thanks Tricia - I'm going to try to sleep this weekend. Dogs have been coming out of the woodwork this month.

Lisa
 
Dogs coming out of the woodwork...funny image. :) I hadn't even noticed you weren't checking in here, Lisa - I think because I see you on FB and I can't keep anything straight anymore! Those doggies are lucky to have you!! Sleep well.

Hi Jane, Tricia, and Alisha!

Ran 3 miles yesterday instead of spin, just felt like running. I inserted my breaks every mile for a total of about 3.5 miles. I am going to hold at this level 1-2 times/week for a while and see if morning stiffness gets better. Then I'll try to up the mileage. I was a little stiff in the heal this morning, but it got better quickly.
 
Hi Everyone!

I am doing a Tabata workout tonight consisting of:
Squats
Push ups
Jump Squats
Swings

I will probably go for a short run afterwards.

My ankle is feeling better so I'm not sure what I did to it. :confused:

Tricia ~ I did manage to get a short run in yesterday. I just ran a couple of blocks but it felt good.

Yesterday the weather was cloudy and in the 70's. Today it is absolutely beautiful - mid 80's and sunny. You can't get much better than that!! Supposedly the lows over the weekend are suppose to be in the 50's. On Sunday my sister and I are running 11 miles and it will be nice running in the cool weather. We will probably sleep in a little later. It's only a little over a month until our 1/2 marathon. I'm still hoping mom will be able to make the race. She is doing fantastic right now.

Lisa ~ I hope you get some rest over the weekend. You have been one busy lady. I'm glad someone is out there taking care of all the precious pups!

Cindi ~ I'm glad you got to run. Keep you the good work!

Hi Alisha!!
 
Jane- I am glad your ankle is feeling better.

Cindi- Don't up your mileage too soon, take it easy. Would a soak in epsom salts help? Thats my cure for everything:rolleyes:

Lisa- the imagery is too funny. dogs coming out of the woodwork. It reminds me of a gargoyle a la Goofy.

Hi Tricia!

I know I checked in already, but what the hey, its lunch time.
