Re: Monday - Year of the Dragon
Chiro this morning...ahhhh...feels better...Rest day from running today but will do yoga afterwork.
I am tempted though to do an elliptical workout as we bought a used one yesterday, it is all plugged in and raring to do, so rather anxious to take it for a whirl!

Cross training during 1/2 marathon training Need advise
Yes I could do easy runs on the days I spin on the evening, that is a good suggestion.

Re: Cross training during 1/2 marathon training Need advise
Thank you all for some great advise. All pretty consistent which is good. I will go on line and look at the first program as well. I have a good place to start and will vacillate about about maybe 2 spins and 4 runs. That might happen some weeks organically as I travel with my job and can miss a cla...

Re: Monday - whassup maniacs?
53 Minutes of power yoga done. Back to work today, buried in emails.. but that is okay.
Chiro later today, going to get my back in order, have been neglecting it for awhile and creeping up on me.
No time for that, have runs, rides, spins, skiing and what not to do!!
