Pass or Bust?

Last week of comment commit!  Let’s support each other’s exercise efforts through one more week of 2010!

Thank you, thank you to participating in comment commit for the last two weeks, it has motivated me, inspired me, and made me accountable to keep up my workouts this holiday season.

Having said that, yikes, sorry for being MIA the last day and a half.   I was way too busy preparing for STORM 2010 to get on the computer.

Seriously, did C’ville just get passed by or was this whole storm thing a bust?  Either way, I am happy to be home.

I did make it out for my run on Christmas day and it was SO GOOD!  Tate and I went for an hour long trail run at my sister-in-law’s house.  She lives in Fredericksburg, Va, right in the heart of Civil War country.  We ran past the trenches and the battlefields.  I am not much of a history buff, and especially not regarding the Civil War, but the preservation of these places does create some nice green space amidst the strip mall jungle.

Here is my comment commit for today

  • strength train
  • walk
  • yoga

We are going to be working at the clinic all day so these activities may be short and thrown in whenever I find a moment.  We have lots of work to do before we open NEXT MONDAY!!!  My big job today is to buy reception room chairs and pick out paint.

What’s your workout plan today?  COMMENT COMMIT!

A Family Who Moves Together…

I didn’t run or do Pilates! Instead we had family day at the gym.  Tate, my little brother, little sister, and I hit the YMCA to work-it-out.  It was 45 minutes on the elliptical for me.  I haven’t been a gym goer since I left for Peru two years ago and while I enjoy it every now and then I have grown more fond of non-gym workouts.  It was really perfect for today though.

Late afternoon the sun came out (it never got above freezing though) and two of my sister’s and I bundled up for a walk.

The three of us haven’t been together for 15 months!

I am still walking a little funny due to some very sore hamstrings. 😦

This gorgeous farm is right on the edge of town.

↑ Main street of our quaint town.  We actually grew up on a farm 40 minutes south of here but this was our town, where we came for dance classes and Chinese food.

Tonight Tate and I are going to his brother and sister-in-laws for Sunday night dinner.  I am excited to see our 3 1/2 month old nephew!

What did you do today?  Paddle boarding? Yoga? Running? Exercise TV?

because you get out of it what you put into it.
