I feel pretty good. I think I would like to do another. I don't know when or where. I think I am going to take the next few months to begin toning up a bit - I want some muscle now. Perhaps some yoga, too. I have always been very inflexible. We'll see.
I did not do the Mass marathon. I wish I could divulge where I ran. Really, I would love to meet my fellow DBers. You have all been so inspirational to me. How cool would it be to talk and share face-to-face. I always wonder whether your real-life personas are like your on-line personas.
Best of luck with that RAI... You got it...I am going to do the same this winter and then do another half in the spring. My half had over 3000 people. I was just wondering if you ran so I could hear what you thought about the course. Soon it'll be time for the 2016 thread! Yoga would be interesting and probably good for me... I am so darn unflexible. Maybe I'll look into that
My yoga teacher does a class for guys who do Ironman events.....he says they are so unflexible, they are like the tin man
I really recommend yoga. I love the class I go to. It's worth finding a good teacher. Not one who does aerobics and then thinks 'hey, I'll teach yoga too.' My teacher is an inner wheel guy and has tons of knowledge about what you are doing and why - easier versions, more intense, what to do if your knee is bad and so on...
Go for it!!

hmmmm... that would be a heck of GAL activity for me... and new. I would need a beginners for beginners class though. I am going to do some research tonight. How expensive is it?
I think we will need to change the name of the thread at some point.
Hey Pinn, did you start the Yoga? I did not. I have been so busy. So much to do, so little time. I did have a chance to run last night. 4 miles on the treadmill. I am amazed at how long it takes to get conditioned, and how little time it takes to decondition. It was a hard run.
There are so many options. I want to run, do the elliptical, weight train, and do yoga. I have access to all of this. I want to do it all. Is that too ambitious?
I am such a wimp with the yoga. I am actually scared to do it which means I should! I feel like it would be odd for a male to go by himself to a class. I don't know... need to look at it. I need it though. I have a bit more time now that my cap stone class is complete... it is a goal for 2016.
I am going out running with a co-worker at lunch. He is hardcore and it's 6.5 miles which I haven't done since the half so that should be interesting.
I run and do weights. I am pretty intense in the gym, I am sure they all hate me. I don't care though. I am focused and it takes my mind away from other things ;-). I don't see much of a need for the elliptical for myself but I am definitely into the other 2 hopefully 3 soon. I don't think it is too ambitious.. go for the gold!
Another goal for 2016 is a marathon.... that will be tough though!
Just keeping the thread alive. We have had unseasonably good weather, but I just could not capitalize on it. Preoccupation with D, and work. Just too much.
I'll challenge you RAI! I am not one for excuses... you know what they say about excuses :-). You have to make time for yourself ya know and I think physical exercises is one of the best things you can do (it is for me anyway). I to am busy with work and MBA stuff. I started running with a coworker at lunch a few times a week. He is insanely fast, he really pushes me. He is training for a marathon so our runs are long for lunch time (6-7 miles), but I get through it and feel great after.
So RAI, it is time to make some time! The spring will be here before you know it!
