I haven't been running much the last couple weeks , I do need to start again,  maybe tonight .

 

QOTD: I thought I needed to try something so I signed up for a hot yoga class . I went down and they explained it to me as I was early they said go sit in the room until the class starts . It was hot , I think 105 with @40% humidity , I sat there thinking this will ok . Several people came in and whispered to me if you feel dizzy or just bad lay down,  the goal is to stay the whole 90 minutes . The room started to fill maybe , 25-28 people all sweating raising the humidity . We started the class , the poses were easy standing poses I knew,  I was surprised at how much I was sweating . About 20 minutes in I started to feel bad , dizzy , pukey  really too hot . I stopped and realized I didn't want to try for 90 minutes , I wanted out . I made eye contact with the instructor , mouthed I'm sorry , gabbed my stuff and bolted . I made it 25 minutes total , felt crappy  the rest of the day . I do need to find something else but it won't involve a 105 degree room .

This....just....sounds.....crazy 

I don't blame you for bolting.  If I am going to sweat, I want it to be because I am exercising, not standing in a room full of people.

Crazy warm November temps. A very easy 5.3 mile recovery run today. That hot yoga sounds insane.

QOTD: No special routines out of the typical warm up, if any. I don't bother with warm ups for the marathon and ultras.

I ran 5.5 this morning and had a nice time.  I decided to F around a bit and went on different trails then the norm.  One trail just petered off and with two dogs on those long leashes we got pretty tangled up.  That ended up being a 17 minute mile. 

QOTD: No I don't stretch.  I have been going to the gym and doing these classes.  At the end we do a "runners" stretch.  Every time she says that I'm like do runners really do this??

Jamie:  Thanks I needed that.  Although I said I was doing a lunchtime 5 in yesterdays post it never happened.  Don't worry though I may lie in the dailies but I never lie on the training log. 

Blargender:  Good luck tomorrow.

Daydreamer:  When you get an answer to your question let me know.  I have a few really bad habits I need to quit!

MTWarden:  Good luck to you too..

Valerie:  What Jamie said...it actually sounded gross and stinky. 

Woke up a few times during the night with a scratchy sore throat and a little wheeze. Hope it doesn't get worse as who needs to be sick? This was a scheduled rest day anyway so hopefully a good long sleep and I'll be good to go tomorrow. We are over 20 degrees cooler today. As much as the last few days were gorgeous I like the more seasonal temps.

QOTD--In conjunction with the run seldom except sometimes a series of calf stretches as I'll go thru periods of tightness or even a little cramping from time to time. But I have to do a regular stretching routines so 3x per week a good session of stretching everything out and then a number of core exercises.

Daydreamer and NHLA-- I have done some reloading in the past but maybe have a couple dies left laying around now. It's a lot of stuff to get and setup and I don't shoot much anymore so why bother.  However a number of years back I took a Rem 700 to the range in 30-06. My friend had a high tech chronograph along so I was using Rem factory rounds with 150gr. psp's.  With those factory rounds I shot 1 1/4 groups and every shot came within 25fps of each other. They all were a little under the published velocity but still kickin". I could never handload to get that kind of consistency. I pretty much stopped reloading after that.

Nope, I'm always last....

very rainy in all day here.  I did 14, that's 14 hours of sleep.  Felt great, I needed it. It was a great day for sleeping in 'til noon.  After some hanging around, I did a rainy 5 miles.

qotd:  just some stretching and a little bit of core stuff.  It I go too long without doing some core stuff, my lower back starts barking at me.
