after a busy weekend

Well Gang, or should I say, Both of You Readers,

It has been a short weekend for me with lots of new information and a new certification (yes, Pilates Mat I), and a full blown injury of my hip flexor - or so it seems. I have not been home much these past two days and I missed that, but it was also nice to learn what I have and take the early morning ride to go to class and collapse in the evening afterwards.

I have to report that our Club Social (the palm beach roadrunners) was a joke, but a good race for Dave Ragsdale and the participants. I was very disappointed at the organization and club attitude that showed little or no appreciation for its members, and ridiculed what should've been a "social", our annual BIG event. So much for that. I quit this club. I can still run just like everyone else. Or join the Wellington Road Runners. Or make up a new one with more track work focus and new races, such as track meets.

On a lighter note, this morning's Boot Camp was great but I truly missed working with my group and not breaking a sweat. It is going to be extremely difficult for me to have the discipline and not "move".

haahaa... I just re-read this paragraph and I almost sound a little twisted. I said ALMOST! First off "on a lighter note.." than "Boot Camp". Yeah, what's on a not-so-lite note??? lol Than the struggle with doing nothing. Should this be the other way around? Maybe I should see a different kind of doctor, not a sports injury guy. lol.

To give you something worth reading for the day, why don't you check out this article about metabolism, even if you know everything it's good to refresh and get the whole picture now and again. http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/archives/metabolism.php

I'm giving up a good one here (as if you guys didn't have GOOGLE), but please visit this site and look into some of the exercises, it is a huge "database" of workouts and it may provide an extra kick or a little spice to your existing workouts, or a little fun just trying out some of them and changing up the old routine. Spend some time here...http://www.exrx.net/Exercise.html

Finally, if you are looking for an aid, a system which helps you adhere to your weight loss or fitness goals, this is a great way to stay grounded and have fun on the way to your individual success! GO!http://fittracker.shapefit.com/
