I very much enjoyed the new Core session!  What weight kettle bell are you using, Liz (Pilates for Runners) ? Just wanting an upper limit of what I need to buy 😉 It's a little challenging to hold two dumbbells...

This might be a strange question but I am super curious about how you'd define it: What is pilates?

Really liked the Lower Body Strength #11! If I watch really closely, I can tell a tad bit more stability in my right knee/leg 🤣 I did double up on the first exercise on that side, too, which seemed to help (as if that knee needs a bit more of a reminder to stabilize... 😉).

Tbh, either way is fine with me! Since I don't see that as an option, I've selected "I'll give it a go" 😎

Good for you using the band! I tossed mine aside pretty quickly 🤣

Well, I have no real running achievement but I want to celebrate some "taking care of myself" achievements as that tends to be challenging for myself... At least the "sit still and rest" kind...

On Thursday, I stayed in bed most of the day, sleeping off some cold bug. I usually have a hard time doing that but this time I forced myself back into bed again and again. "Just to rest" only to wake up an hour or so later... It worked! I was back running on Monday with some 10K walks over the weekend.

Then yesterday, I woke up with one eye almost swollen shut. After some cursing (I wanted to walk on my day off not be in the doctor's office!), I dragged myself to the doctor. After only 30 minutes wait (I had no appointment), I found out that it was an allergic reaction. The doctor prescribed a creme - and my eye is almost back to normal today!

Very much enjoyed session one, especially the core work! Thank you, Liz (Pilates for Runners)!

Liz (Pilates for Runners) I liked it!

I am so excited to be starting tonight! 🥳

Happy birthday, Sarah! Wishing you a wonderful new year - and a great London marathon 🥳
