Aaahhh...the off season....or is it?
Finally, after ten months of training, I have some decent exercise habits. Yippeee! Do I really want to give all that up, even though winter approaches?
Well....yeah, it would be nice to sleep in on a Saturday once in a while. But....no. I've worked way, way too hard for this to give it all up now. Now, that is not to say that I'm going to do 10 miles every weekend. No, I am not sure that is really necessary! However....five or six miles? A 90-minute workout on the weekend? I think that's pretty doable. I intend to keep on swimming - I have been going on Wednesdays, though we'll see how tough I really am as it gets colder. The getting in the water isn't so bad, it's the getting out! I also hope to keep a walk of a couple of miles one or two days a week going. And if I can get a yoga workout in there, so much the better. Yoga is such a good thing to do on Fridays. It just helps me let the stress of the week go!
So I'm going to try to keep at it, and hopefully by January when we start ramping up for the next half marathon, I'll be ready!
Hold me to it folks.....hold me to it!

I am a regular, previously not terribly athletic, plus-size woman who is training for a half marathon. Come see how I am doing, and hopefully I can encourage you in your goals as well!
At the Triathlon!

Hi Carol, I wanted to congratulate you on your latest race! You're awesome:) With conferences approaching (busy and stressful season for me), I should be walking more, but wrestle with making the time to get out there. Kathy and I are going to walk on Sunday. Could you join us for about an hour and a half? Let me know. C-ya, Cindy
Hey Julice - I wish I had checked this long ago!
I have a couple of yoga workouts on DVD that I really like. One of the reasons I like them is because in the "relaxation" part, they don't do a lot of funky guided imagery or anything like that. It makes it easy to put the focus on Christ, where it belongs.
Many yoga workouts these days are much more "athletic" in their approach than the ones that came out back in the 70s and 80s. Try checking out a couple from Netflix or a video rental place first, and find one that suits you!
