Yoga X and Sunday Chores

April 29, 2012

I slept in a little late today and then was pretty lazy.  I decided it was time to do something.  My hips have been feeling better.  They still have a little pain when I sit for too long, but I decided they don’t burn.

I gave P90X Yoga X a try…boy was this tough!  I couldn’t do all the moves, but I did my best.  Once I got towards the second half, I was so … [Continue reading]

Hip bur…what?!

April 25, 2012

After talking to one of my best friend who is a PT (not my PT who I said was my best friend- haha was that confusing?), she concluded I probably have hip bursitis.

At the same time I was talking to my friend, @Coastlrunrider said the same thing. She had bursitis and had to do a lot of resting and icing. Once she was recovered, she did a lot of leg circles, hip abduction … [Continue reading]

After the run, Dave told me he … [Continue reading]

Personally, I LOVE the downhills.  Some may say its stupid because it causes more pounding on your joints, but I love to power down the hills.  I make sure that I don’t go too fast that I get tuckered out and can’t go … [Continue reading]

But I LOVE pain!

January 25, 2011

I realized this past weekend how much I love pain.  Please don’t report me to a psychologist!  I’m sure you will agree that you do too!

As I ran the Boston Prep 16 miler, each hill I came to, I thought “Why am I doing this again?”  I also thought “Why am I running when it is this cold out?”

I remember my last marathon.  There weren’t as many participants as in my last two … [Continue reading]
