ACE spin

Yesterday at lunch did spin again, getting more used to cages instead of clips, I spun pretty well this time.

ACE Spin and DY Advanced vinyasa

Monday at lunch spin class, good deal but I hope she makes it harder soon. Yoga was ab heavy and difficult as usual.

AT @ Snickers gap

Sunday ran on the AT north of 7 @ Snickers gap. Didn't make it to my planned destination cuz I started to freeze as the sun went down. Gloves are now part of the outfit I guess. About 4 miles

Padma hot yoga and AT @ Smithsburg MD

This morning got up real early and drove to the reopening weeked at Padma in Hagerstown MD. Very glad I did, Christa is very cool, the studio is nice and the class was a real bitch. Hope I can see my way to make the 45 min drive as much as possible. Right after class drove east until I found the AT on Wolfsville Rd near Smithsburg MD. Ran for about 4.5 miles, had to sweet tasting spring water at the end, tired as hell right now :)

ACE spin

Yesterday got to use the new spin bikes at work. I am so out of shape for that stuff now, a half hour put a hurt on me. I'll get back there tho, its great the bikes are in. Stacey got an award at the beginning of class, very cool.

DY all levels vinyasa

Wednesday night's class was good, a little easier than usual.

Old golf course

Ran the route again at lunch, time a little better again.

DY advanced vinyasa

Monday's class was great as always, Jill really brought it.

AT @ Marys Rock

Yesterday ran from Thornton gap to Marys rock and back on Skyline drive. Perfect day out, hill was 1200 feet in less than 2 miles, pretty brutal. Great view from the top tho, 3.7 miles.

DY morning buzz

On Saturday had a nice morning class, then spent the day in DC.

Tuscarora trail and Boga

Last Friday ran in the rain in W. Va on the Tuscarora trail at Sleepy creek. It was wet and rocky and couldn't keep up much of a pace. That night was boga, did a little yoga then had a great time till almost midnight, drinking and chatting.

Old golf course

Last Thursday ran the golf course in a short break in the rain. About a minute under my time from Tuesday!

DY all levels vinyasa

Last Wednesday went to the all levels class. Honestly can't remember much about it.

Old golf course

Yesterday at lunch ran the golf course again, about 3 miles.

DY advanced vinyasa

Class on Monday was a shortened version of the Ashtanga workshop. I absolutely loved it, I hope she keeps this sort of thing up. Held head stand for a very long time.

AT @ Bears Den

Sunday I ran on the trail at Bears Den. Not a particularly good place to run, steep rocky trails and lots of people with their kids. The view was nice from the rocks tho. About 3.5 miles.

DY Ashtanga workshop

On Saturday went to an almost 3 hour Ashtanga workshop by Jill. It was fantastic, the only downside was when my elbow buckled when I was trying to kick up into a handstand. Landed on my head and hurt my neck and back. The rest of the class after that was a bit of a death march.

Old golf course

Ran the gold course again today. Almost too cold out of regular running clothes, beautiful day none the less. About 3 miles.

DY all levels vinyasa

Last night went to class, not as hard as last week, lots of hip openers, and bird of paradise that I suck at so bad.

Old golf course

Tuesday at lunch ran around the abandoned golf course behind work, following a cart path most of the way. Saw a fox, pretty cool. About 3 miles.

ACE yoga and DY advanced vinyasa

Monday morning went to Stacy's class at lunch, easy class this time. Jill's class on the other hand was brutal, did scorpion again tho, that was fun.

DY morning buzz and AT @ Ashby gap

This morning did a vigorous class, scorpion pose is hard. I came somewhat near doing it tho. After lunch ran on the trail from the Ashby gap trailhead to Rod Hollow shelter, perfect autumn day for running. I sorta overdid it, the way back was brutal. About 6 miles.

AT @ Keys gap

Ran on the trail near Charles Town WV, Keys gap to Buzzard rock and back with a side trip to Lesser Shelter. A chilly, breezy overcast autumn day. About 7 miles.

ACE workout and DY all levels vinyasa

Mini yoga and mini run at work lunchtime on Wednesday, then class that night. Sweated my ass off pretty good for a Wednesday night class.

DY Sivananda and gentle yoga

Jann's class tonite, exactly the same as always. I stuck around for the gentle class after for the only reason that Jill was subbing. She did a hot stone and oil thing at the end that was extremely relaxing.

ACE yoga and DY advanced vinyasa

Felt like absolute crap all day yesterday thanks to too much booze. Regardless, went to the half hour yoga at lunch and the 1 1/2 hour killer at night, made it thru both unscathed.

Sky meadows and the AT

Sunday I drove up to Sky Meadows park and ran the north ridge to the AT, went along it until I got to a sign that said I was about to enter a hunting area. Wisely turned around at that point and went back and returned via the south right and gap run. Very pretty place and nice run, about 5 miles.

DY morning buzz and AT compton peak

Saturday morning went to the buzz class as usual. A few hours later I was running on the appalachian trail in the rain. Eventually in the POURING rain. Had to turn around before I was done and go back it got so bad. Went from Compton gap to a ways past Compton peak, with side trips at the top to either side, probably about 4 miles.

ACE yoga

Last Friday went to Stacey's new lunchtime yoga half hour class. It was ok, got a little workout in.

ACE workout and DY open level vinyasa

At lunch yesterday went to the 15 min yoga and ran outside for about 20 mins, beautiful day out. Last night went to open class, lots of cardio at the beginning, good class, got very sweaty. Talked to Jill about yoga for awhile after class, very interesting.

DY Sivananda and gentle yoga

Did back to back classes last night. Sivananda was the same as usual. Mikayla's gengle class was weird, there was singing mantras, chanting stuff, bell ringing at the end. It was very easy and all about stretching, no strength stuff at all.
