DR Lake

This morning ran 3.96 mile route, it was a pretty nice mornng out.

Pima ridgeline alternate and Studio yoga

At lunch today ran along the ridgeline to the unnamed connector along the 2nd ridge past Beverly Canyon, left down to Desert Classic, then left back to the car. About half way on Desert classic I totally ate it, tripped and crashed full out into the gravel, didn't get hurt this time tho thank god, about 4 miles. This evening went and had a good class at Studio with Marco teaching.

LAF Yoga

Taylor's class tonite. She is slowly ramping up the difficulty of her classes.

Perpendicular alternate and LAF yoga

Went to the doctor for a blood test today, while I was there asked about my knee and was diagnosed with bursitis. This means I don't need to stop running so at lunch ran out west loop, up and over two ridges on lesser used trails to Javalina, left to Pima canyon and back. It was hot and tough and I was very happy to do it. Late afternoon went to Taylor's class, made a pad with a hole in from an old flip flop for my knee and it worked pretty well, good sweaty class.

Bikram yoga

Went to noon class today at the institute with Karin. Went pretty well today.

IVY level 1-2

Yesterday afternoon went to a very crowded class with Marie. Did some weird self massage type thing with tennis balls.

LAF Yoga

This morning went to class, Taylor has taken over Jan's Saturday class now, so I can add this one too. Good class, went to see new Harry Potter movie right after.

Bikram yoga

Went to noon class at the institute again. This time I had Crystal, the same Crystal from Bikram Scottsdale. She has her rap down way better now, but still lots of the same old script. One of the things I really dislike about Bikram is hearing that stuff over and over.

Bikram yoga

This afternoon went to another class at the institute today. Instructor was brand new, named Ally, she really, really said everything right from the script. I had very nice standing forehead to knee and rabbit today.

LAF yoga and pilates

This morning went to Michelle's class, but the same sub that covered for her before was there, nice sweaty class. This evening I went to Taylor's class, but Taylor was out sick. Melody was the sub and she taught a pilates class instead of yoga. It was different for sure, not as hard as a good yoga class but not bad.

Bikram yoga

This evening went to Bikram Institute on Indian School for the first time. They give a pass for 5 free classes to unemployed people, so I got one of those. Instructor was Karin, the room was very hot and the class was very challenging tonite.

Studio yoga

Class this evening with Karen. I had a strong class, felt great afterwards.

LAF Yoga

Teri's class this morning. My glutes and hamstrings really took a beating today, and my arms and shoulders were sore from all the push ups yesterday. Great class!

LAF Yoga

This morning went to class at the south Scottsdale gym with an instructor that I didn't catch the name of. Class wasn't too hard but she added lots of optional things like extra push ups, and I did all that extra stuff, so I got a good workout.

IVY heated

This afternoon went to a Reba class. It was actually pretty easy, I'm getting better at working around this knee. The room is definitely cooler, the class is alot easier than Studio or Bikram.

Gym and LAF yoga

This afternoon went to the gym, lifted and swam a bit. A couple hours later went to a class at the Priest gym, instructor named Diane, pretty easy class.

Gym and LAF yoga

This afternoon during football practice went to the gym and lifted weights and swam for a bit. This evening went to class at Tempe gym with Deborah, the instructor that does the Friday morning class in Chandler. Easy class, but that was somewhat appreciated giving the state of my knee.

Beverly and Studio yoga

This morning right before lunch ran desert classic to beverly, up and over down to west loop and back, about 3 hot miles. This evening went to Studio class with Karen. Today was Marco's birthday apparently. My knee is definetly screwed, seems like a miniscus problem.

LAF yoga

Teri's class this morning. I made it thru but it wasn't easy, back, knee, elbows and shoulders, god damn.

IVY heated

Early this morning went to a heated class taught by Reba from Bikram Tempe. She put together a great sequence. Even tho I was very achey and sore it was a good class.

Wellsite almost

Ran down the canal this morning. There was a flurry of construction activity for the new sidewalk all around the well site area, had to turn around about a block from it. Wasn't toohot out for once, about 4.7 miles.

Telegraph pass and gym

At lunch I ran up telegraph pass, then right at the top down national. Went to where the trail deviated from the road, at the base of where the towers are. When its a little cooler (hot today) I'll go up to the towers. About 4.5 miles. A couple hours later went to the gym and lifted, used the row machine a bit as well.

LAF yoga and yoga

Michelle's class this morning, Taylor's class this evening. Both good as always, nothing unusual.

Ridgeline and gym

Around lunch I ran west loop to beverly to ridgeline to mormon loop to pima wash and back. It was a hot, hard run, about 4 miles. About an hour after that, after dropping Jordan off at football, went to the gym and lifted weights.

Studio yoga

This afternoon went to a class taught by Marco. I felt good, class went great, finished strong and felt good afterwards. Only downside is my left knee is still a little hosed, gotta be careful with it.

IVY level 2

Went to a level 2 class this morning by Marie with Carissa. I converted over the unlimited month she gave me for fathers day to a 10 class package and set it to share with her. Cool class, did some pretty non-yoga stuff at the beginning, including some line dancing, which I sucked at. The emphasis of the class was firefly, can't even come close to doing that one.

Dobson High

This morning ran thru the neighborhood to Dobson, twice around the track and back home, about 4.5 miles.

Research alternate

This morning ran a route more or less straight south thru the neighborhood to Warner, over to the research park, around one of the lakes and back home. About 4.5 miles and it was hot hot hot, I was burning up.

Gym and LAF yoga

This afternoon went to the gym and lifted weights. This evening went to a yoga class at the LA Fitness on Gilbert. The instructor was a sub, didn't catch her name, and although she was cool the class was way too easy, better than nothing tho.

LAF yoga and East loop and yoga again

I did my first 3 a day today! This morning Michelle's class, but with a substitute that I didn't catch the name of. Good, solid class tho. This afternoon I ran the east loop at south mountain, with a little Beverly canyon in the middle, about 3 miles. This evening I went to Taylor's class. I felt wonderfully tired after I was done.
