Posted on November 25, 2011 by G

Slow day at work today; no one is here since it’s the day after Thanksgiving. I am here, though, and I went to the gym this morning for an interminable slog of one hour on the elliptical machine. I don’t … Continue reading →

POWER YOGA!!!

Posted on November 16, 2011 by G

Yes, today was my POWER YOGA!!! class. (Sorry, I really do have to type it out like that– that’s how I’ve been saying it in my head.) It was pretty good. I liked the fast-paced style, and it certainly got … Continue reading →

Posted on November 15, 2011 by G

Another fun lifting session with J today! I should put “fun” in quotes? Okay, it is sort of fun, but it’s more fun when it’s done. Sometimes I find myself cheating a bit to make my reps; for example, on … Continue reading →

Speed work

Posted on November 14, 2011 by G
