Not So Flexible Anymore

Day 4 and I’m so sore, I don’t have much strength left. I tried to do Yoga for 20 minutes and after that, I pretty much collapsed. My wrists were weak and sore, my body felt so heavy, and I couldn’t keep up. Total fail. After all this, I thought Yoga would be my easy [...]

Know Your Limits

When I awoke this morning, it was easier to crawl out of bed, but I still felt pretty sore. Not “I can’t move” kind of sore, but it was noticeable as I moved about doing my morning routine. I changed and hit play. This time, it was Shoulders and Arms. I didn’t have as much [...]

January Update

A lot has happened since I last wrote. First of, I went to my first Tough Mudder in Norcal at Squaw Valley. Yes, I did finish this 12 mile course. No, I did not do all the obstacles. And I was carrying a 10 lb backpack for a good portion of the hike because I [...]
