108 To-Do’s

December 17, 2010 by gracefulfitness 14 Comments

The snow is still here but it is time to get back to work!  I have a long to-do list and a pot of coffee brewing, it’s going to be a busy day.

COMMENT COMMIT Day 5

Amidst the flurry I will strength train with an Exercise TV workout, take a walk, and (as long as it’s not canceled) participate in 108 Sun Salutations at Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville tonight.

If you are a yogi, have you ever heard of these 108 Sun Salute projects?  They used to occur in Portland once a year or so when I lived there.  I always wanted to participate but was a little nervous and always came up with a good excuse not to.  But tonight I am all in!  I just hope they don’t cancel due to weather!

What is your workout plan for the day?

Happy Friday!

Destination: Downtown

December 17, 2010 by gracefulfitness 10 Comments

I eventually did get out of bed this morning. 🙂  And out the door we went!

It was a total winter wonderland!

We walked to the Downtown Mall to run some errands and see if the town was still operating.  Along the way we got a little extra cardio in by giving a stuck car a push up the hill! I was very grateful that I didn’t have to be anywhere today.

The Mall was quieter than usual but most businesses were open.

We then decided to walk to Matt and Kath‘s a couple miles away.  A few blocks before we reached their house we ran walked into them, all suited up and headed downtown for lunch.  So we went back downtown!

We ate at Eppie’s, a pay-at-the-counter lunch spot that I have been wanting to try since we moved here.  After being obsessed with soup for weeks I actually was craving a salad on this snowy day.

Check out the Collard greens and mac n’ cheese in the background, they came with Tate’s lunch but lucky for me, he’s a good sharer. Yum!

After 6.5 miles of urban hiking and lunching we headed home for some R&R and work.  Just before dusk we wanted a little more snow action and went back out for Downtown Mall walk Round 3.   Whew!  We covered over 9 miles todays!  It was good for my spirits to spend so much time outside, even if it was (below) freezing and sometimes slippery.

Since I committed to yoga this morning I did this 20 minute routine.  I was only lukewarm about the sequence and instruction but it was just the right thing to stretch out my walking muscles.

How did your workout go today? Running? Tae Bo? I want to hear all about it!

I’m off to eat some soup. 😉
