@Anrish and @TheBubzilla thank you for your answers on what running feels like! :D They were powerful and visceral and I can imagine them. :) When I was young I could climb trees, and roller-skate, and I ran down a block one time and that felt like flying, I just hold onto that. :)

Today the kids and I did 30 min. of kundalina yoga and I'm super glad we pushed through even if nobody was in the mood when we started. :)

Stared adding the elliptical in addition to my 45 minutes of cardio... I can only manage 10 minutes right now, but holy hell, my thighs are on fire.

I love the answers to your question @Glitterkitty about what running feels like. I never really loved running in my younger days until I got back into it as an adult. It was as though running was waiting for me the entire time I was gone, just waiting for me like a long-lost friend. We picked up and took off as though I had never been gone at all.

Along with all the other amazing answers about running, it can sometimes feel like you are hitting yourself in the head with a hammer - and that old joke that the reason you do it is cause it feels so good when you stop. That glorious runners' high - I get that almost all the time.

I am still not a 'born runner' but there are times that it feels as close to flying as I have ever gotten - feet barely touching the ground, body totally involved and under your complete control, pushing yourself because it's only you with your body, your mind working to pave the way or block the way depending only on the day you have had, and you want to see what you can do as you talk to your mind, coax it, comfort it, challenge it. The body follows.

Your body releases lactic acid when you have a few moments when your legs can feel stiff and heavy but then almost like magic, you are light as fairy dust and fast as lightening.

Better than any drug. Ever!

14k run yesterday in the snow (felt more like 20k) and Plyometrics with Ab Ripper X today. Perfect preparation for a long and slow drive home tonight.

Dancing if it counts and sitting on my ass, which includes exercising patience and not driving people up a wall. Yup I'm listing that under coping skills.

 

[Anrish]

Twenty minutes of body exercises.

Hauled my lazy butt out of bed and went to my Pilates Reformer class this morning. It's been so hard to find time for exercise lately, I've been working so much overtime. Very proud of myself for just getting up and doing it today, even though I was tired and weary.

7.25km interval jogging and walking.

Bloody wrecked!

Lighter day today - lots of day work occupying my time but managed to get in a CVX P90X3 and a P90X Ab Ripper X. Snowshoe racing tomorrow though and hoping for 10k on them.

55 min of running through snow and -6°C, but had a nice chat during the training. :dead::p
