Dressing for the Gym

Dressing for the Gym

The topic of dressing for the gym comes up occasionally. I went into the locker room at my gym yesterday and a woman I know from the locker room was there. She was wearing a cute outfit for working out. She had on a black skort, you know, the short skirt that has shorts underneath. Her top was a cute short sleeved black and white striped jersey. A very attractive outfit. I commented on it. I told her how nice she looked. She said, “I’m worried that I’m showing too much skin.” I told her I thought she was fine. She said a friend of hers who always looks polished told her that the key to looking good as you age is to cover up as much...

Yoga on the Beach- outside my comfort zone

Outside my Comfort Zone

During vacation I like to change up my regular routines and challenge myself to go outside my comfort zone. Last week I was on a family vacation to the beach and was enjoying all the fun of reconnecting with family, walking along the waves in the sand and swimming outside in a pool. My sister suggested we do yoga on the beach. I've watched it from afar but never signed up. In fact in years past, I may have even done a little yoga on my own, but never with the full class. It was delightful. There were definite advantages over a studio yoga class. The ocean in the morning makes a very beautiful backdrop The sand is very forgiving on the knees An 8 am class is...

Obstacles on the Bike and Hike Trail

Obstacles on the Bike and Hike Trail

I discovered some obstacles on the bike and hike trail that's close to my house. I'm lucky to live close to the park's trail. I use it frequently all year round. This past weekend was a holiday weekend and we had gorgeous summer weather. I was not the only person eager to use the bike and hike trail. On Saturday, I took Penny for a run on the bike and hike trail close to my house. It was a great day for a run, plus it’s a holiday weekend. There were lots of people using the trail. I know I've written about running with Penny before. Penny is doing well with running with me though I'm so slow that Penny doesn't actually run. She just sort of...
