We had planned to take a Restorative Yoga class on the last Wednesday before the race.

I pushed myself a little more by doing an hour long cardio/slow burn yoga before the Restorative class.

We're getting so close to Race Day!!!

Beautiful weather today. A perfect day for getting some major stuff done in the garden. I think we spent about 8 hours weeding, planting, pruning, trellis-ing, and installing (a new drip line for the fruit trees)

That definitely counts as exercise. No run required today.

By the way, we are ONE WEEK AWAY FROM RACE DAY!!

2 Wednesdays before Race Day. My stalker called and wanted to go to a 1.5 hour Restorative Yoga class.   She used the excuse of "having to work on the last Wednesday before the race" so this was her only chance to go. So a group of us went. I didn't feel safe going with just my stalker. ;)

Looking around on the interwebs, I found a yoga sequence for runners. So, I told Ness that we were going to do a little yoga before/after each run, thereby combining her love of running with my love of yoga.

Today we finished with a 20 minute yoga sequence to help open our hips and increase overall flexibility.

Steps: 6059

Distance: 2.867 miles

Distance (jogging): 1 mile

Longest run: .39 miles

Positivity: 40 more days!!  (sigh, I give up.  Lol!)

Today was another no run day. The weather was just as disgusting as yesterday, so we decided to do an hour long yoga session instead. I certainly needed it after all the running we've been doing.  My body is not designed for running, it's designed for bending. lol!

Positivity: It's a Unique Type of Race!

Today we went out to the Bike Path and rode our bikes for an hour.  Not sure how far we went, as the pedometer didn't really work on a bike. lol  We just made sure to stay out for around the same time as we would if we were running.

That third girl - she stalked me all the way to Vegas

Last day in Vegas. Today I carried the pedometer with me to at least measure how far we'd walked.

Today we changed it up. Instead of running for an hour, we rode our bikes for an hour.  Obviously, the pedometer wasn't going to work so I don't know the distance we traveled. Along the way, I was attacked by a bee and a tree.

The wind was still gale-force today, so we decided to stay indoors.  I pulled out this DVD and we danced away for an hour.  You go through warm-up, Paso Doble, Cha-Cha, Samba, and Jive, then a Cool Down.

My favorite is the Jive.  I also think I sweated today more than any other day this week.  But it was so much fun. Maybe I'll Jive my way through this 5K.
