Return to Boot Camp Class

My Return to Boot Camp Class

Fit and Strong, Work Outs

I’d like to say that my  return to boot camp class at my gym was a great success and that I left the class in a moment of triumph. It wasn’t quite that exciting, I confess. In fact, I felt glad that I  managed to scrape through the session. I realized that I had not been to boot camp class in almost two years. How is that possible? I went to this class every Saturday morning for several years. Well, I was dealing with some family issues out of town in the beginning of 2020 and then of course the gyms as well as the world just shut down. I returned to the gym over a year ago but at first the classes at the gym had...

Fit and Strong, Running

What could be better than  running in the fall with my dog, Penny? It's been several months now that Penny has been doing her canine Couch to 5K plan with me. We actually abandoned the official plan and just went with a run-walk program. I use my Garmin to set times for running and walking and we go from there. On a beautiful fall day, this is the face I saw at the top of my stairs. What a dejected looking pup! I said, "come on, Penny, we're going for a run." We drove to the Towpath Trail in the neighboring town. It's a lovely trail that runs along the Cuyahoga River. I wanted to run a section of the trail to figure out the distance between two...

Finding Inspirational Music

Finding Inspirational Music for My Running Playlist

Fit and Strong, Motivation, Running

I often listen to music when I run by myself so I’ve created my running playlist on Spotify. I wrote about this in 2018 (wow, that seems so long ago!) and was just making the transition from playing music from a variety of sources to using Spotify. Now I just have my playlist and listen to that when I need some motivation or distraction or just a good beat to run with.  I don’t usually listen to music when I’m running with someone or if I just want to listen to the sounds of nature. I see that some of the songs that I mentioned in my earlier post are still on my playlist. Some of them I’ve forgotten about. Also, I said I was considering...
