It's not so much weird as annoying, and the #1 reason I pursued reconstructive surgery. Jumping Jacks. OMG. I hate them, but I want to be able to do them, and I couldn't because of the excess abdominal skin. There isn't enough compression gear in the world to contain that :P

This past weekend I drove to IL to pick up my new running partner. Well... not quite "partner" yet - he needs to grow up first but he will start leash training this week! He's a French Brittany (the actual breed name is hard to pronounce but it is basically a smaller version of the American dog, with more color variations and while they do LOVE to go for runs, they don't actually HAVE to go for runs.)

Nice to see you back.
Mt. Taylor 50k went pretty well. Snow and mud all over the course. 6,500ft. of climbing. Total time 7:32.
Running will be sporadic at best this week. We just moved into a new house so that will take up most of my excess time.

I am very conscious about my fitness, i do 2 hour exercise daily in late evening.
Along with exercise I do running, daily in the morning
I love doing swimming, its not just build stamina and strength but also give shape to your body by burning muscles fats.
I would recommend all fitness enthusiasts to make habit of doing swimming minimum twice a week.
Monday strength training
Tue 60 minute run
Wed master swim
Thursday 60 minute run
Friday rest
Saturday 70 minute run
Sunday rest enjoying thanksgiving dinner
Sorry to hear that your tournaments did not go as plan. must be a big disappointement
So today was the day - was supposed to fence in two tournaments - women at 9 am and mixed at 1 pm. I got the fencing club at 8:15 an no one else (other than my coach and the other referee) were there. Waited til 9:30. No morning bout. (Have no idea where the other registered folks went, but . . .) Came back to the club at noon to warm up for a 1 pm mixed veteran (40+) event.
I did not do as well as I hoped, but I achieved some goals, learned and had fun. Back to the grind.
Monday - Fencing 2 hours
Tuesday - Meetings in the evening. Maybe I can get a daytime workout in, but I'm not hopeful.
Wednesday - Fencing 2 hours
Thursday - Gym - weights and agility
Friday - Work and tickets to a show - so not much happening then
Saturday - Maybe gym or bike ride if weather permits
Sunday - rest (unless I can find a fencing tourney within 100 miles of my house.)
Hope everyone has a good week.
Keep on losing!

HI Gang,
This will be a cross post.
If you live in the NoVa or DMV area and want to take up running, there is a new Meetup.com group called BEGINNER RUNNER LADIES OF NOVA.
They are having their first practice run at Aurora HIlls Branch library. It is free to join the group. From what I understand, it will be run/walking.
"where we'll run together. We will be running/walking 3 miles, but if that's too long for you, you're welcome to join us for less!"
Aurora Hills Branch Library I will be there if you want a friend/companion to talk to (I hate going places alone myself!). Best wishes! -SS
