So ...
... I only got in a 1.5 mile walk today.
Whilst on said walk, my IPod decided to be wonky, and I didn't have my spectacles on to find the problem. So, a bit after I started my 7th lap, I stopped to figure it all out. And, well, long story short, I lost all interest. Damn technical glitches (and somewhat lessened eyesight)! |

20 minutes on the dreadmill at a ridiculous incline, 20 minutes of weights, and a 30 minute brisk walk with Obi. I'm glad spring has arrived, it was a beautiful evening for Obi and I to get out.

Still on my non-exercise experience. Saturday the beach re-opens, at least for the weekend, I will know more then.
I have gotten a lot of extra reading in these two weeks though. My body is really unhappy being sedentary, let the movement begin! |

Mind. Body. Soul.
A two mile, glorious mid morning walk! Tomorrow, I'm going for three (okay, maybe 2.5 considering I stubbed my already broken toe this evening).

I had a nice hour and a half walk by myself in a park in Brooklyn after work. It was windy and drizzling, cold, dark, and ominous weather, and I loved it. I also did stair climbing on the outside steps at the Brooklyn Art Museum.

I rose early this morning and walked about 5 miles or better. I walked the trails on a nearby butte, where you can see for miles and miles (on a clear day) and although there are no stairs, walking the butte requires a person to be able to tolerate changes in altitude because you begin at a ground level (per se) and must walk upwards - for what seems to be a long climb. Once you get to the top of the butte, there are many other trails a person can take, for example: I wandered down the backside of the butte, into the forested area. And once you've gone down into the forested area, you have to scale the trail to come back up. Which can really give your legs and calves quite the workout. It took me about 2.5 hours for my inner-urban workout on the butte and once I got home, my legs were still feeling the 'burn.'
eta: I saw a quail hen with her brood of 4 chicklings, an egret standing among the dense reeds of the tarn-like pond, and spied what I thought was a red-tailed hawk - floating on a draft of wind, above. I also noticed that the blackberry bushes were loaded with blossoms.

Today I did my 15 minute cardio workout, a la Shaun T Insanity. Sharon watched! :-)
It's a good workout, it gets my heart rate up, and I certainly break a sweat! |

Today at lunch I walked down along the Hudson River in Battery Park City, a beautiful paved walkway that winds past restaurants on the water, the little harbor with yachts, children's playgrounds, the little ponds and walkways with mallards and pigeons taking baths in puddles.
I stopped and sat for a while, looking across the water to Ellis Island, where there are cranes I guess because they're doing reconstruction. It was hit bad in the last hurricane. Also I was close to the Statue of Liberty and Governor's Island and could see the Museum of the American Indian which is in the beautiful neoclassical former U.S. Customs House, right on the tip of Manhattan, looking out over New York Harbor. I got a smoothie on the way back into the office. I forgot my lunch today, second time this week. It was a rough week but by eating right, getting enough sleep and exercising, I have been feeling more grounded.

Today I walked 20 minutes on the dreadmill during lunch, during our "stretch & flex" 15 minute period at work I lifted weights, after work I participated in an 1 hour water aerobics class, and then I took another brisk 1.5 mile walk with Obi when I arrived home from water aerobics.
Not feeling well, but I am pushing myself, because I know that upcoming surgeries will have me completely on my ass, and I am not willing to quit on days that I am able to be even a little bit mobile. |

In Austin, today is a free yoga day. Several classes in all yoga disciplines will be presented for free all day long.
I will not be at any of them. I have to work. But being that today is the last day of the month for us, I will definitely be moving and gooving. |

Power hour at 11. I really missed it while I was on vacation and my shoulders are sore from yesterday. But then again, pain is just weakness leaving the body *S

Power hour was wonderful. My endurance and core strength is getting so much better! I also love the little knuckle, elbow, knee bruises *S

I have yet to go to one yoga class where I haven't farted while doing some bending-over stretch or pose. Just saying.
Today is a rest day. Tomorrow it's back to the gym in the am. |

I am back on the beach. It's hard to believe how much damage can be done by two weeks of being sedentary. I wonder how long it will take to get back to where I was? Doesn't really matter, I am so glad to be back out. |
