Vannie - Your variety is putting me to shame. Your arms are going to look awesome between the cross rope and the cardio boxing/kickboxing. I'm glad FIL hasn't gotten worse and will keep fingers crossed that he will start getting better soon. And I know that feeling of low level dread and hope it just gradually dissipates. It happens to me sometimes when I've gotten accustomed to bad news to the point that I feel uneasy waiting for the other shoe to drop, even when there is no other shoe. (That was a terrible metaphor, but I don't know how to fix it! SORRY)
Alison - Those long hikes are so good for your soul, I'm sure you made the right decision on Wednesday. Hope this week is full of good workouts for you. PS - I think I finally cleaned out all my kids' high school junk when they were seniors in college. It was so worth the wait because I LOVE THROWING THINGS AWAY.
RE: Peloton stacking, I have confused myself. I thought I had stacking because when I opened the app on my phone a week back, it instantly generated a pop up in the app all about stacking. So I figured I could stack. But the pop-up went away and I don't see anything labeled stacking on the app, so maybe it was just a promo to try to get me to buy their equipment? Beats me.
More Peloton- They did add a lot of (what I *think* are) new features to the app like "Programs" and "Collections", which I have been exploring. Since I got my Hydrow in November, I haven't been using Peloton very often, so these features might not be all that new after all.
HI Pratima!
Mollie - Don't give up on us yet. We hope you'll come back.
Me Looking Ahead -Between my EX2 January outdoor challenge and Hydrow, I've got a routine that I love but I know I need to expand it and start adding in more strength training. So I haven't set concrete goals for February yet, but I know I need to.
Me - Looking Back - January was a good month for me.
I am at 90+ miles of outdoor activities for my EX2 challenge. I guess I should have signed up for the 100 mile challenge instead of the 50 mile challenge. What I forgot to factor in is that the activities included both running and walking.
I completed the Hydrow 14-Day Home Challenge. I earned my 250,000 meter socks (cumulative since I started rowing, I do lots of short rows.)
Recent workouts (you'll see what I mean about needed to add some strength workouts!):
- Friday - Walk 3 miles outside + 10 minutes of rowing
- Saturday - Run 7.5 miles outside (got a great selfie of me with Burke Lake and a deer over my shoulder) + 30 minutes of rowing (great row with my fave dude Nick)
- Sunday - Run 12 miles, most of it with Debbie and most of it in Mason Neck State Park. Surrounded by Pohick Bay, bald eagles, frozen wooden bridges and all kinds of natural beauty.
- Today - Walked 1.5 miles outside. Ran 13 minutes (1.2 miles) to a Rebecca K Peloton workout. Rowed 15 minutes on the Lamoille River in Vermont - my own music and Hydrow's ambient sounds. Just blades in the water. Nice.
Onward and upward, the future looks bright for us, ENDURANCE women.
