Answers to the two questions I know you are dying to ask

March 31st

A day off from running... it's my rest day

I know that inquiring minds are dying to know. So here are your answers.

1. No, I haven't lost an ounce, although it is my long term goal to lose so much body fat that my period goes away even without the miracle of menopause. Or maybe I'll just count on menopause.
2. Yes, my knees and hips are still fine. I do, however, need a new bra. My old one is taking a lot of strain

So, now that I am in BC and don't have my training appointment to get me out of bed in the morning, what am I doing other than running? At the suggestion of Patricia, my shiatsu massage practitioner, I am going to balance my yin with my yang. To keep your body balanced and in harmony, you need to have both hard workouts and times of quiet contemplation and stretching. I can't remember which is yin and which is yang, but apparently I am deficient in the quiet contemplation one. (I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I, Viv, need to balance the effects of too much hard exercise in my life! )

Tomorrow I will go to yoga with my sister Barb. Barb might be in better shape than I am, but I am much more bendy. I will report back on Wednesday.

And I think I will try running up a slope tomorrow, just to see how it feels. I think running down will be easier, but that's just a guess on my part, derived from my barely passing mark in Physics 110 at UBC.
