    @Djproulx - well done on your race! Glad the cranky heel cooperated and let you run pain free.
    My feet are really starting to bother me when running now. Used to be only on the bike after a distance, but by 5km of running, they are screaming.
    Am going to try a Reiki treatment tonight after work. I've had a couple of people suggest it for my feet, so will see how that goes. It is Morton's Neuroma, also known as "hot foot" amongst cyclists.

    Borrowed a bike trainer from a friend, and tried it out for the first time last night. LOVED IT! Am going to invest in my own. :) Will certainly help during the winter months.

    It's a cool, rainy, dreary day here - but it's not snow, so will take it!

    Have a great day all!

    Morning, y'all. Did my first ever yoga class last night. Great workout - I'll be going back for more of that. See if I can regain some flexibility.

    Circuit training workout this morning. No one showed but me and the trainer. So we decided to do deadlifts and bench presses. Then some kettlebell work - straight leg deadlifts - windmills - and swings. He says "Let's do one hundred swings". I said "No way". But the trainer knows - I'm too proud to get shown up by anyone else. So one hundred swings were done. HAHA! :D

    3m on the treadmill, followed by strength work. I think I've finally figured out how to lift weights and still be functional the next few days. Start slower. Genius. :-/

    Rest/NEAT day. Mowing the lawn, laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, walkies with the dog.

    But it’s a beautiful day and my running gear is giving me puppy dog eyes.

    Another CG Strength and Agility week is in the books! They just posted the events for CG Games. Oh vey, I've got some training to do! Don't get me wrong, I'm positive I could finish all 5 events, it's just a matter of how FAST I can finish them. CG Games is in July, so I'm spending today (my "rest" day) working out my training plan. Nothing quite like getting into the best shape of your life....at age 51! Lol!

    Btw, if you're curious about CG Games, here's a link to the site. The Event videos are on the bottom, right. https://cggames.com/prelims/

    I know that feeling! The only reason I'm actually able to pass up a run today is because I worked very late that past 2 nights and slept in a bit today to recover and I have to be to work early to open this afternoon. Not enough hours in between to do what I need to do and run.

    4-mile run.

    (I typed “4-mike” run first, which struck me as funny. I only know three Mikes.)

    Well my weekends had been full of food and alcohol and socializing. Not going to feel bad as I rarely go out, also not going to weigh myself! Did get in kickboxing Friday night and my last self defence class (our instructor is going to china tho study), kettlebell and kickboxing Saturday and a long walk today.

    Martial arts and leg day DONE.

    REALLY debating hard on quitting the part time weekend gig. Never having a day off is really starting to take it's toll, and things are only getting worse there with another of the full timers looking at quitting. "Little" things like meal prep time would be great if I wasn't working 7 days a week, but trying to fit it in right now isn't impossible, but it's pretty damn difficult...

    CG Interval Week! A lot of sprint work yesterday. I'm definitely feeling it today! Hitting just rope climb/slamball/balance workout today along with a nice easy 4-mile run.

    Deadlifts and lunges and pushups, oh my! Just part of the morning workout.

    And 400 feet on Jacob's Ladder. I'm going to keep doing that as a finisher until it gets easy. So forever, essentially. :D
