Post bike Yoga cool down/stretch out

Just enough time for a quick yoga session to stretch out my sore bod.  Hip flexor stretch on left felt so good - held it for a min or two and felt a nice release.  Ended with shoulder stand and that felt great.

Wii tennis, golf, boxing

My shoulders and arms are so sore from playing actual full-court basketball last night that playing Wii with my kiddos this morning hurt!  Fun though excpet for accidentally whacking my poor daughter in the head with the remote :-(  Poor baby girl!  She recovered quickly though and knocked me out boxing 6 times until I begged to play another game

Alumni Basketball Game

This was sooo fun!  We played 6 min quarters, but the game lasted at least 60-90 min and my heart rate definitely stayed up during the time outs, free throws, etc.  I played most of the game, as the girl I was subbing for only wanted to stay in 2-3 min a quarter.  I scored 6 points (2 ft, 2 regular buckets), grabbed about 15 rebounds, 1 steal, and 4-6 assists. Really made me want to get on a womens’ team here so i can play regularly.  Such a different, kickass workout from trail running.  Busting it up and down the full court and having to push hard on those beyond strong young girls, who had 2 inches of height on me and were way quicker, kicked my butt and I am super sore, but thankfully not injured today.  Loved it!

Hula Hoop Aerobics, 3rd class

I guess i was a little fatigued tonight.  Class was still fun, but seemed more challenging than last time and I dropped my hoop more.  I think she had us work in outflow (non-preferred direction) more tonight.  Still left class with a giant grin on my face and came home smiling/singing :-)  A girl in class was there with her sis wearing this t-shirt:
