Week Thirteen!!!
OK - I take back everything I said about Yoga! (Or didn't say, just thought.)I tried a Yoga session with my daughter on Sunday to a video and I felt as stiff as an oak tree.
I'm beginning to think that a lot of the injuries I've had over the last few years have been more about lacking flexibility than anything else. That's not an expert opinion - but it sure felt like it.
This challenge has been a real eye-opener that way. Everyone is trying different approaches, different kinds of activity and there has been some interesting knowledge-transfer . . . or maybe a better word would be 'exploration'. All for a good cause.
Hey - I still think we should get together at Birds Hill on a Saturday afternoon for a few hours. Let's try this one more time. Let everyone know what your availability is.

Sunday - 10 minutes of Yoga for warm-up. 45 Minutes running - first mile warm-up in 15 minutes. Next three miles at 10 minutes each. Total 55 minutes.
Monday - 15 minutes of Yoga, a few minutes of skipping and 20 minutes on the bike at 85%.
Finished up the week on Saturday with a fast 30 minutes of running and a 10 minute cool-down jogging and walking. Did mostly running this week. Knees feeling good too for the first time in months. I'm looking forward to Spring!
On the subject of weight, it's too bad some of us didn't think to get a Fat % evaluation before starting this - a lot of people will lose weight if they have had a habit of minimal activity - but otherwise they will turn fat to muscle. And muscle burns three times the calories that fat weight does - so it's all good. But the scale can't tell the difference.
If you feel good and your more fit - does it matter if you're not lighter?
The Fit For Life people say that you shouldn't eat for 60 minutes after activity cause your body is in fat burning mode and eating will turn it off.
Update to blog entry 1:24 PM - 40 minutes running on Feb 15th and 16th each
