My housemates and I have been dancing.

Dancing is a good exercise. It may surprise many how often martial artists will study ballet alongside their art, especially ballet. Adds strength and flexibility and aids with moves they practice.

I wish I could do some exercises here at home but my mother will mock me. And I always feel bad when I'm doing exercises.

I sometimes feel bad when exercising, but it is so worth it, because when I'm done I feel good for about 24 hours.
You mean you think she will, or your mother has a pattern of mocking you? If so, that's abuse.

Good to know!

Just some core exercises today.

I got in 30 minutes on the stationary bike.

Longer run today. Cold, but glad I did it. 🫤🙂 In spite of anxiety.
There were people running in leggings and long sleeved shirts like me. There were people running in shorts, and there was a person jogging in a long, puffy down coat with the hood up.

I didn't get my run in yesterday as I went to meet up with a friend. Managed to get a walk in with her. Not quite the same. Don't think missing the run did me much good I'll try to catch up on a weekday this week, life permitting.

Simple core and light weight workout this morning.

 

[AvidFan]

Got out for a 30 minute run today, about 2.7 miles. Wasn't up to much - very cold. Plus I took propranolol at 4am and even 10mg slows my heart rate for about 36 hours, so where my heart rate would normally be 150 running at pace it was only about 127 and couldn't get the engine going really. I'll keep propranolol in the sleep locker - just not on nights where I need to run the next day!

The little tiny hills on Sunday's 4.5 mi trail run made me realize I have to train more if I'm going to be able to accomplish my event in April. I'm pretty sure that when I am depressed like I am now, that it's much harder to breathe properly, my body feels awkward and my legs feel heavy. Part of it was social anxiety; there were a lot of people out on that trail.
I'm so missing being near the ocean.

You can do it @seabird ❤️❤️❤️

Running group. Ran 10.24 mile pace at front of group, chatting away. Then sprinted home. All after a week of no sleep. I must have weird genetics because this honestly shouldn't be possible (I've also mentally cracked out 2 dozen hours over the week - it's insane). Thank heavens it's Friday and I hope I sleep well tonight!

 

[seabird]

Wonderfully done @AvidFan : ) I will be really surprised if you don't get a great sleep after all that.

7 mile Sunday run. Heart rate a bit high for the pace, but it's my longest run of the year and I don't feel wiped out - mid Jan I was struggling to walk at a moderate pace for 40 minutes and felt exhausted by it.

 

[seabird]

Had to cut my Sunday long run short due to wind and icy, pouring rain. lol anyway I got 2 miles in at an amazingly pretty place to run. I got very cold, plus it's a bit of a drive to get there, but definitely going back next week for a long run. Had a warm shower and feel a lot better.

 

[seabird]

I managed a nice steady 4 miles' run this evening.

 

[AvidFan]

Blasted out about 5 miles altogether - to and from running group and running group itself, with some monster hills.

 

[seabird]

👍🏻 Well done, that's great to hear @AvidFan . 🙂
