Pancho and Lone Ranger?

STEF! You are no longer the lone ranger. I have been reading the posts, just not adding any insight. I did join the gym about two weeks ago and have already been a few times. I'm having a hard time fitting it into my crazy schedule. With all the traveling and long hours, I can't find time to make it to the gym. But I've been 7 times in the last two weeks. Not too bad if I do say so myself. I might even go tomorrow at 5...

Sis, I'm glad you went to the yoga class. I know we've already talked about it but - I'm hoping to find one too.

As far as the 1/2 marathon goes...I think we should try it again. What do y'all think? We'll talk over Thanksgiving, but EVERYONE bring your running shoes. At this point we should all be about the same "out-of-shape-ness". I'm trying to talk BJ into training with me...I need a partner to run the long runs. I have my doubts that BJ will really do it, but it's worth a try, right?

I love both of you...and Cam we are all still waiting on, oh what, like your second post...

The Danger Zone

Sorry, I just watched Top Gun and couldn't think of a less lame title. But I did go a little outside of my comfort zone today and went to a beginner's yoga class. And I'm hooked. There were no cheesy oohmms or Enya, but there were people who were elegantly thin and incredibly flexible. I decided I wanted to be more like that. And of course, the added bonus was the way it made me feel. My back and neck have never felt so fabulous and I'm already missing the warm, loose, relaxed feeling. It wasn't nearly as easy as I thought it would be either: my legs, arms, and back muscles burned as I sweated just because I was holding my body in a certain (and awkward) position. I'm not saying I would want to do it every day or even as my main workout. (I still lov...I mean appreciate a good heart-pumping cardio that make me sweat buckets and makes my limbs feel like they are going to fall off.) But it was a nice change up that I'm pretty sure I'll make as part of my new routine! :)

Just thought I would tell everyone who doesn't care anymore (yes, that would be you: Erika and Cameron) that I have started the Shape Fitness Plan. I wanted to put it out there in the open so everyone could see and that maybe it would help me stick to it. I'm getting tired of my so-called support group not being very supportive. Nice to know you're there for me.
