Bag of Butt Run
Monday, February 1st, 2010Yes, this mornings short 20 minute run had me feeling like a bag of butt. Two months off has really hurt. I did do 50 pullups this morning, but not all at once of course. I just hope it doesn’t take long for my body to get adjusted to running again or this will be a very long slow road.
Later today, I will hit the elliptical trainer. Half of the problem is that I gained bout 20 pounds over the last two months…bad, bad, bad!!! So I think I just need to do some weight loss and base building, so long slow workouts for a while.
Improve Your Running with Proper Breathing
Sunday, October 19th, 2008by Dave Elger
There seems to be a great deal of confusion these days over the proper way to breathe while running or jogging.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lisa_Buschlen]Lisa Buschlen
I’ve always been more of the “sofa athlete” than actual athlete, but beginning in my mid-30’s, I realized that not only had I retained all of my high school fat, but over the years, those fat cells had made many friends, and they were all beginning to congregate in the most unappealing places.
Whatever meager metabolic magic that had worked to keep me toggling between a size 8 and 10 throughout my 20’s, had apparently felt a little “crowded” by all the new fat cells, so it moved elsewhere, and left no forwarding address.
