Got home from my in-laws a couple hours ago. The roads weren't terrible even though we saw some cars in ditches. Cyric was so happy to see me. I missed him so much.

Glad to hear you got home safely. My area is supposed to get it tonight, but I'm sure not as bad.

SandyO · 12-02-19, 08:55 AM

New thread, time to get serious. More calories and less activity apparently is not a good combination.

I'm going to sign up for a trail 10k about 45 minutes north of here the end of April, so I will get my butt out the door this winter. Of course I thought what about the 50k...because of the better price per kilometer? Then I remembered I really won't train enough ever to do it justice much less over a winter.

Cooked yams in the IP, best ever. Did black beans last night after soaking 6 am to 6 pm. So awesome. Going to try the chickpeas today without soaking...mainly because I forgot to soak them.

I actually got in a DVD workout yesterday. Thanks, buffmama, for KCM Trim Down.

So my hammy/butt was feeling better than it has since I don't know when. At the end of the running season, it was just a minor twinge. Two weeks over here with almost no workouts, then walking a bunch of days, yoga a bunch, and KB swings for 4 days in a row... it's right back where it was: painful. Of course it kind of crept up, so which of these did it, all of these, none of these??? But it definitely wasn't running which I've done none.
