Spin

After work went to JJ's spin class again. There was some problems with no bikes available for people that had passes, which sort of sucked. I sweat like crazy, was still tired from lack of sleep after last nights kick ass Bullet concert.

Quartz again

At lunch today I ran the same route as yesterday, went a little farther today, probably did about 5k total. Once again very nice.

Quartz trail

At lunch today went to the 104th st. trailhead and went the opposite direction on the quartz trail from the QWTJ loop. Went out and back for about 3 miles total, was hot but nice out there.

Yoga

This morning went to yoga alone, Carissa had bad cramps. Amy was subbing for Helena, and I had a good class, did very well at right side toe stand and left side bow pulling pose.

Spin

Class this morning at 9:30 with Heidi. My right foot came unclipped towards the end during a hill climb, i bitched about it and the shitty Tempe bikes in general after class, it felt good. Also told her she was one of my favorite instructors, so i guess i'm not a total dick.

Lost jeep run

After work today at lunch time ran from the lost dog trailhead, up lost dog trail to the intersection with the old jeep trail, about 3.6 miles. It was hot but it was beautiful out there, and I was in and out of that damn wash that I tore my calf in twice today. Later in the day played nine with Jordan at Ken McDonald. Way too many sand traps on that course.

Spin

Went to JJ's 5:30 spin class tonite. Same as always, nothing unusual.

short Notre Dame

3 miles again today at lunch, again no problemo.

short golf sign and a half

3 mile run at lunch in the heat, no problemo.

Yoga

This morning Carissa and I went to 8am yoga with Helena. Not near as painful as last Sunday's class, I got up on time for this one.

Spin

Yesterday morning went to Beths' class at Chandler gym again. Good, hard class and I worked my ass off. Right after that golfed 18 with Tim, Jeff and Jordan at Dobson Ranch. Pretty much the best round of golf I have ever played.

Lakeshore Bridge

Early this morning ran the 3.37 mile route down the canal to Lakeshore bridge and back. It was hot and sorta sucky, after being in Socal anyway, and after that was my mom's funeral. What a shitty day.

Beach run

Wednesday morning in San Diego, got up at 6am while the family was still sleeping, and went for an approx. 3 mile run along Mission Bay. Ran thru a couple parks, over docks, over the bay on a big ass bridge, and on a ski beach. It was absolutely beautiful out and probably the best time I had on my trip. San Diego has a much bigger running community from what I saw, but its not too surprising due to the incredibly nice weather.

Yoga

Yesterday morning Carissa and I went to 8am yoga. We both overslept and had like 5 mins to get ready. It was a brutal class for both of us, being half asleep like that.

Spin

This morning went to 8am spin class at Chandler gym with Beth. It's funny but the last four workouts right before and since mom died have been exceptionally brutal, this morning I almost killed myself in a class that I haven't had a tough time with before. Spent rest of the day going thru stuff at her house again.

Cortez park

This morning after a memorable nights sleep on mom's living room sofa, ran about 3 miles down the canal to Cortez Park and back. Spent the rest of the day at the funeral home, sorting thru clothes and etc., then went and saw Wanted with my son which was real cool.

Yoga

After spending the night at my mothers house, I really didn't know what else to do, I got up in the morning and found a Bikram studio on this side of town, 4th st. and Camelback. It is a very nicely done studio and the people were very friendly. The class was perfect, the exhaustion took my mind off the situation, at least for a little while.

Spin

Last night while I took a break from the death watch of my Mom at the hospice house and went to a spin class at the Bell Road gym at 5:30. The old broad teaching the class had a really kick ass mix of rock tunes so that was nice. At 9:40pm my mother died.

short Notre Dame

At lunch yesterday ran the approx. 3 mile route from Horizon park, around Notre Dame prep and back. Hot, hot, hot.

short golf sign and a half

At lunch ran the three mile out and back route in the ridiculous heat, was ok tho.

Yoga

Yesterday morning Carissa and I went to 8am yoga. She got to experience the extremely exciting style of Helena and was very impressed :)

Spin

9:30 class this morning at the Tempe gym, with Shanna filling in for Heidi. I'm not particularly crazy about her style of intervals, but it was better than no class at all.

Lakeshore Bridge

3.37 mile run this morning down the canal to the bridge, not too fast but it was pretty freaking hot out. A little later played nine at Shalimar with Jordan, had a great time.

Yoga

Went to class at 4:30 taught by Kat. I was a bit apprehensive after the last experience I had in yoga, but everything went fine, did all postures and didn't die.

Spin

After a self imposed two day break after that fiasco in Vegas, I went to JJ's spin class tonite. Everything went fine, thanks god, had a good class as usual.
