Re: running again

[Guest guest]

Hi -Lou!

It's a gas, isn't it! I just got back from soccer practice and while

I'm nowhere near back to former form I've also found that running and

crosstraining with pilates, yoga, aerobics, sculpt, etc helped speed

recovery of body as well as the all important mind. It sounds as

though you're right where you should be with things. Congrats on your

upcoming 10k! I personally always hated anything over 5k but always

had a great deal of admiration for those of you who could handle it!

Wear your medal with great pride!

Take care!

Steve,

How soon did you start yoga?
