The agility ladder reminds me of hopscotch, which makes me want to try it. ![]()
<p>There is an agility ladder drill called hopscotch:</p>

<p>It’s on my list to try.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Yes.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I may have to look at that. Or a slightly different toe box.</p>
<p>Good morning, all. You’re all exhausting me with your accomplishments ;)</p>
<p>Getting ready for a writers meeting in a minute and then working overtime today, but did still manage a short trek up the hill. Weight still coming off in the 1.5-2lbs a week range and if i can survive Easter without running up against a chocolate binge I might be close to my second “skinnier” wardrobe just in time for spring. I am glad I had enough storage and sense to hang onto the dream…and the clothes ;)</p>
<p>Dropping 1.5 - 2.0 pounds is a big accomplishment every single week.</p>
<p>One hour walk in the woods with a bad dog chasing deer.</p>
<p>Five miles LSD without dog around town.</p>
<p>I’m going to interpret that as Long Slow Distance and not that you were tripping.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is fantastic! Despite all the false expectations set by the Biggest Loser, 1 to 2 pounds a week is awesome weight loss. Going down to a smaller wardrobe: PRICELESS.</p>
<p>Here’s a ladder drill video for BC:</p>

<p>Weights today. My legs felt tired today, I think from yesterday’s run. I wasn’t expecting that. I guess running slow is harder than it feels.</p>
<p>Blank, you covered a lot of ground yesterday.</p>
<p>Dinner out last night but I thought of CJane for inspiration and had a filet and broccoli. One glass of red wine. Some bites of grasshopper pie shared among the table. No lasting damage this morning. Big walk with sabadog, then off to the gym for some fun with the elliptical. </p>
<p>KMC, there’s a lot to be said for consistent weight loss. Applause, applause!</p>
<p>Taking a cue from the “bad” sports motivation posters in our hs locker rooms—“Get High on Sports Not Drugs”</p>
<p>Blown away by BCE 10 mile run—wow. Did you set out do this or did you decide to do a Forest Gump and keep on running!</p>
<p>The office was mostly empty yesterday so I had the fitness center mostly to myself. I prefer to run in solitude and it was a good environment.</p>
<p>I need to improve the music on my iPod Nano though. For some reason, a lot of songs on the playlist that I have on it aren’t playing. I also need to equalize the volume. I can change the volume on my headphone controls but it’s smoother if I don’t have to.</p>
<p>BCE - do you have the pandora app?</p>
<p>I was using my iPhone with a wireless headset and the headset died (they last about a year). Unfortunately they don’t make them anymore so I bought a new type. Which died after a month. It’s on my table waiting to be RMA’d. So I went back to my old iPod Nano and my wired Sennheisers and have been using that for a few months. I bought eight pairs of shorts for running last year or the year before from RoadRunner sports and they all have this little zippered pocket that is just slightly larger than my iPod Nano so it works well. I don’t think that the new iPod Nano will fit in the pocket.</p>
<p>So I’m not going to use Pandora - I do have WiFi available at the Y and office but I don’t use Pandora. There’s no way to guarantee a bunch of songs in the beat range that I like with Pandora.</p>
<p>Yeah. The Brooks tights I’ve been working out in this week have that little zipper pocket back center. It is perfect for a nano. Run the wire down my back under my shirt. The only problem is that the nano is right in the way for hip lifts in my warmup. Oh well… Like Rosanne Rosannadanna said, “It’s always something!”</p>
<p>I leave the wire outside the shirt and don’t have any problems with that approach other than it probably doesn’t look very good to others. Many of my shirts have a loop in the back of the neck that I could run the wire down but it would mean some dexterity is needed to get the plug through the loop with my hands over my head and sometimes I don’t have that dexterity after a workout.</p>
<p>That said, it’s amazing how well the iPod Nano + Sennheisers work. The wireless stuff just doesn’t seem to be there.</p>

<p>Daylight saving time begins at 2:00 am on Sunday, March 10. Spring forward.</p>
<p>I have been using the LG wireless bluetooth unit for over a year now. Built-in mic. The earbuds are a little strange. The entire unit wraps around your neck. Around 60 bucks from Amazon. I don’t like messing with wires. If I don’t run the wires inside the shirt , my flailing arms are always pulling on the wires</p>
