So many days have passed since my last entry and the ironic thing is, I’ve been working out more lately than before! I had one slow day in the past week when I got on an elliptical trainer and felt too overheated to continue. I left the gym and came home to sleep for an [...]

fall season
Posted in bike, core, elliptical trainer, recovery on August 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The start of fall opera season has not been conducive to working out and having extra energy. Plus, when I have had the time to do something, I haven’t wanted to spend my free time writing about it! I’ve made a commitment to practice yoga every other day, so on the mornings when I roll [...]
summer fitness-not what I expected

There hasn’t been much time for blogging lately but exercise between music still exists! My workouts remain drastically lower in volume than they’ve been for several years but my back is feeling great and Wagner is taking every ounce of energy! My only disappointment is that I signed up for two half-ironman events I won’t [...]

My new favorite time to hit the gym is Saturday morning at 9 am. Am I nuts? Car talk is on and the gym is reasonably full but not crowded. I also enjoy the walk over as the neighborhood is waking up. This morning was my first workout since I last blogged. I took a [...]
motivation through friends

The last few days I’ve been particularly unmotivated to exercise. The weather has been unpredictable and mostly unpleasant with grey skies and rain most conducive to drinking tea at home! Luckily I had three motivated workout buddies to help me get out the door. On Sunday night my sister & I made plans with GC [...]
elliptical studying

Today was gorgeous and warm again but I wanted a quick, low impact work-out and also needed to study my Mozart recording, so I opted for running in the clouds at the Y. I put the program to cross training and prepared to “run” up and down two hills, forward and backward. My intention was [...]

Denver airport has free wifi! Today’s traveling has been so much smoother than my past month of trying to get places. The first leg was on time (early actually!), my suitcase was gate-checked so I didn’t have to pay the baggage fee or cart it around all day, and Frontier served warm chocolate chip cookies. [...]
wrapping up winter vacation

Looks like the holidays, family time and traveling got the most of me! The workouts continued, sort of, but there was no extra time to write about anything. The biggest adventures included the following: On Christmas morning 12 people showed up to paddle so we filled up two boats and went out before dawn. As [...]

As I sit and write this, I am thoroughly enjoying half of a bavarian creme-filled chocolate-covered doughnut. I ate the other half on my way to the gym. I am on sugar overload and the holidays have only just begun. I feel a weekly wellness challenge coming on… or possibly a holiday season challenge that [...]

I just had one of the better massages of this year. Usually I have something hurting and most of the time is spent in one area, but today I feel as though I almost got a full body massage! My massage therapist began on my hamstring and it seems that I’m on the right track [...]
