this time last year I was running 9 miles twice a week with a couple 3-5 milers tossed in for good measure. I was training for the Detroit Half and feeling pretty flippin' sweet about myself.

I even bought myself a bunch of winter running gear so I could train through the season and be on track for the 2010 Detroit Full. My goal (a long time ago... like in my late 20's when the brain was still fresh and full of hope) was to run a full marathon by the time I hit 40.

well, then I injured myself this past winter. couldn't really move my legs very well, couldn't bear weight very well on the left side and ignoring it wasn't making it better. So the doctor man (and a woman now too) told me I had tendonosis of both my groin and hamstring on the left side. I've been sidelined since feb. three rounds of PT that is just starting to help a little.

running is great exercise. and i like to eat. so it keeps the weight in check. but i don't really care too much about weight. what running really does for me is keep me at a low stress threshold. it makes me sane and happy to be around. I've been a little () bitchy since feb.

this week has been really hard b/c i have ALOT on my plate. so much, in fact, that I decided to screw the physical health so that I could maintain my mental health. it was that dire. so lo and I pulled the jogger out of the dust-filled garage, filled the crying tires with some life (air) and beat the pavement. We went an entire mile and I thought I might die. It didn't exactly change my mental health, but it gave me something different to complain about for a couple hours :)

new goals: run again without crying and then start thinking about a 5K. lol.

About Maggie: Maggie began her yoga journey over 15 years ago while living in New York City. She had a successful career as an actress, working along side actresses such as Chloe Seivgny and Mischa Barton to name a few. But there was an inner longing for something more. Maggie came down with a virus that took over her body for several weeks. The virus was diagnosed as stress induced. This led Maggie to her fist yoga class. Such clarity and peace came to her that she never turned back. Bikram Yoga Chelsea just opens 4 blocks from her 400 sq ft apartment. Maggie became a regular -she loved connecting with her body through movement and finding peace of mind. Under the guidance of studio owner John Golterman, Maggie got certified in Bikram Yoga 2005. She taught in Bikram studios throughout New York City for several years. Her acting career brought her to Los Angeles. She continued to teach Bikram Yoga while acting in various films and commercials. She became a certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor at Yoga West during this period. Maggie married a musician. Knowing children were on her horizon, she completed The Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga training. Studying with Tej Khalsa and Gurmuhk, this training inspired Maggie to become a birth and post partum doula. She has guided numerous women through childbirth for over 10 years. Maggie then began teaching Prenatal Yoga, Mommy & Me Yoga, and Power Yoga at The Yoga Collective in Santa Monica & Yoga West among various other studios. During this time Maggie yearned for more knowledge on holistic living. Naturally this brought her to Ayurveda - the sister science of yoga. After completing her DASc in 2008 through Kerala Ayurveda, she studied in various ayurvedic clinics throughout Pune, India. Maggie currently conducts private consultations to help bring individuals back into balance physically, emotionally and spiritually. Yoga has remained the one constant in her life. Yoga is her lighthouse...continously bringing her back to her inner light and strength. Maggie is honored to guide you on your yoga journey. Maggie currently has 2 children and resides in Long Beach, CA. www.maggiegrove.com Bikram Yoga Workout 60 min www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocg3InAEZMU Bikram Yoga Full 90 min www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e2pDKZHNaI

Elephants very quickly learn where they're safe and where they're not, this bull is one of a small group that hang around the Zakouma HQ area during the dry season. After everything that these elephant's have been through it's remarkable that any of them are willing to trust humans at all. However they are such intelligent animals that not only do they know where there safe but they also know who their friends are and these bulls that come to the Park Director Rian Labuschagne's house have learned to take water from a garden hosepipe.

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.

Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.

07-29-1975, Mesa, AZ; Drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 10th round of the 1996 amateur draft. Shea Matthew Hillenbrand is a professional baseball player who currently plays for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League. Hillenbrand played 72 games in 1996 for the Low-A Lowell Spinners in the New York - Penn League. In 1997, he was promoted to the Sarasota Red Sox of the Florida State League, and was promoted again after 57 games, finishing the season with 64 games with the Michigan Battle Cats of the Midwest League. Despite being drafted as a shortstop, he played at first base and third base his first two years in the minors. In 1998, still with Michigan, he was converted to play catcher and responded with his best season in the minors, with a .349 batting average and 19 home runs. This earned him a promotion in 1999 to AA Trenton Thunder of the Eastern League. However, a leg injury restricted him to only 69 games. The 2000 season saw Hillenbrand back at Trenton, now back to playing first base and third base as the injury prevented him from catching. An average season at age 25 did not bode well for his chances as a prospect, but he parlayed an invitation to spring training with the Red Sox in 2001 into a spot on the big-league team for opening day. Hillenbrand played 139 games for the Sox in his rookie season, mostly at third base, but a .263 batting average failed to hide his failure to hit with power and get on base adequately (he had one of the lowest walks-to-plate appearances rates in the MLB). In 2001 he had the lowest range factor among all AL third basemen (2.46). However, he retained his spot on the roster for 2002, and responded with a much better season, hitting 20 home runs with a .330 on base percentage and a .459 slugging average. His play earned him the starting third baseman spot in the All-Star Game. He tied Robin Ventura for the Major League lead in errors by a third baseman, however, with 23. Nevertheless, Hillenbrand entered 2003 being the subject of trade rumors. The Red Sox had signed free agent Bill Mueller, another third baseman who would win the batting title that year, and many believed that Hillenbrand's lack of strike zone judgment would not be compatible with the on base percentage priorities of new Sox general manager Theo Epstein. With Mueller hitting around .380 and playing a solid third base, Hillenbrand became expendable and was sent to Arizona for pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim on May 29. Hillenbrand was involved in a feud with Epstein following the incident. He finished the season with a combined .280 batting average and career-highs in RBI (97) and home runs (20), including a three-homer game with the Diamondbacks in month of July. Bill Mueller went on to win the AL Batting Title. In 2004, Hillenbrand hit a career-high .310 with 15 home runs and 80 RBI over 148 games. At the same time, he shared the Major League lead in errors for a first baseman, with 13. He was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays at the end of the 2004 season. In 2005, his first year with the Blue Jays, Hillenbrand hit .291 with 18 home runs and 82 RBI over 152 games, while splitting time between 1B, 3B, and DH. He also led the league in hit by pitches (HBP) in 2005 with 22. Hillenbrand was traded to the San Francisco Giants during the 2006 season. Hillenbrand signed a one year contract with the Angels on December 26, 2006. On June 27, 2007, he was designated for assignment a day after being quoted as saying, "If I'm not going to play here, give me enough respect to trade me or get rid of me.” On July 9, 2007, having been replaced by the emergence of Reggie Willits and first baseman Casey Kotchman, Hillenbrand was waived by the Angels. He signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres on July 27, 2007. He spent 12 days with the Padres' Class-AAA affiliate, the Portland Beavers, before being released on August 8, 2007. He hit .147 during that span. He signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers two days later on August 10, 2007. He was called up to the Major Leagues three days later on August 13. He hit his only home run with the Dodgers on August 29 off Luis Ayala of the Washington Nationals. In 2008, Hillenbrand went unsigned by any major league organization, only being contacted by the San Francisco Giants during the off season. On July 2, 2008, the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League announced that they had signed Hillenbrand to be their starting third baseman. Hillenbrand played in 36 games for the Revolution hitting .340 with two home runs and 25 RBIs before his season was ended by a hamstring injury. He did not play between 2009 and 2011, but came back for the 2012 season, playing for the Bridgeport Bluefish. His MLB-Stats: 2001-2003 Boston Red Sox; 2003-2004 Arizona; 2005-2006 Toronto Blue Jays; 2006 San Francisco Giants; 2007 LA Angels, LA Dodgers; career stats: 7 seasons (2001-2007): G:943 / AB:3570 / R:463 / H:1014 / HR:108 / RBI:490 / BA:0.284. Final Game, September 20, 2007. All Star 2002 and 2004.

This came out nothing like I'd pictured in my head, and it's not even in focus. I could not for the life of me get my camera to focus with my remote last night (it kept doing that annoying zoom-zoom noise) so I bent over to clean the remote and fried my hamstring on a bare lightbulb (aka getto lighting) behind me. MF! So I gave it the bird and went to bed with a ginormous blister on the back of my leg. Joy of my life!

Booty Burner Cable Squats

.

I love occasionally including this exercise in my glute days. Take a look at my form, the POSITION and ANGLE is important in order to target the glutes.

.

Find a weight that is challenging, but manageable. If you go too heavy on these you will feel it in your lower back, so test out a few weights before doing a full set

Have a wide stance with your feet slightly pointing out

Keep your chest and head up during the entire set. The weight will force you to fall a bit forward, so use the strength of your glutes to counteract this.

Sit in the heels on your feet

Squeeze your glutes to stand up

I like to pump out as many of these as I can until I fail, like in the video , and can’t squat anymore

.

Tag someone you want to try this with and let me know how it goes!

On Mondays we train legs

.

Leg days are seriously my favorite remember ladies, don’t be afraid to lift heavy. Heavy weights cause the body to change and reshape, so challenge yourself here are 4 out of 6 exercises I did (a few are kept secret for clients only )

.

1⃣ Standing Hamstring Curls- 3×12-15 at 30 lbs

.

Focus on not moving your lower back and only flexing your hamstrings to move the weight. 30 lbs sounds like a joke, but let me to you if you actually do this movement correctly, 30 lbs creates enough tension to stimulate the muscle.

.

2⃣ Hack Squat-3×12-15 at 180 lbs

.

This video is sped up A LOT for entertainment purposes, but make sure you descend slowly- I take a full 4 seconds to drop down. Go down to at least parallel and then flex your quads, hamstrings, and glutes to stand up. Do not lock out your knees.

.

3⃣ Quad Extensions- 3×10-15 at 80-100 lbs

.

On these I am trying to hit complete failure. I go till I literally can not flex my quads anymore

.

4⃣ Standing Calf Raises- 3×12-15 at 60lbs

.

By now my legs are beat so I just focused on getting a good stretch and hard flex. Make sure you keep your knees softly locked out, quads engaged, and work the full range of motion- even if that means making the weight light!

Hamstring app (biceps femoris tendon, distal):

Positioning: standing, bent at the hips stretching the hamstrings.

Strip #1 (yellow)- take a precut 10” I strip and keep it in I strip form. Anchor the base of the tape just below the knee joint on the posterior lateral (back outside) of the leg. In the position above, pull 50% stretch and apply up the back outer tendon (biceps femoris) and up the hamstring. Apply the last inch with zero tension.

Strip #2 (pink)- Take a precut 10” I strip and make it into a Y strip. If you have the old cotton version, it is already precut to do this. If you have the new synthetic PRO version, you will have to cut it with scissors to just above the logo. Apply the base of this one just below the base of your first strip. Take a tails (either one first), and with 50% tension lay the tails up the biceps femoris on either side of the tenson as shown. Zero tension on the last inch of each tail.

They take a bit of your hamstring out, so this could be bruising from that.

Sugarcane Bow Pose or known as Ardha Chandra Chapasana is a strong standing and balancing pose. The possibilities are endless with this posture for opening the hamstrings, hip flexors, chest... Simpler variations are Extended Side Angle Pose and Half Moon.

Diamond League athletics at the Birmingham Grand Prix, Alexander Stadium. Marvin Bracy (USA) won the 100m final in 9.93 (PB). Adam Gemili (GBR) was 2nd in a PB 9.97 (making him one of few Brits to have achieved a time under 10 seconds). 3rd was Mike Rodgers (USA) in 9.97 (sic). Richard Kilty and CJ Ujah (both GBR) finished 5th and 6th.

Gemili blamed pyrotechnics for his fall, which resulted in a hamstring injury that prevented his participation in the World Championships in Beijing.

What do the Warrior Games mean to you?

To me, it’s the camaraderie between fellow wounded warriors and holding each other up for one common goal.

What motivated you to try out for the Air Force Warrior Games team?

It’s being able to return to my new 100 percent and my friends and family.

The North Carolina Tar Heels, a power five program out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, dealt Old Dominion its first home defeat since November 2015. But in the loss, ODU gained a new starting quarterback.

True freshman Steven Williams, a graduate of Woodrow Wilson H.S. in Washington, D.C., replaced starting quarterback Jordan Hoy and backup QB Blake LaRussa in the 53-23 loss.

"When you don't have a first down in the first quarter and you have no energy on the sideline because the players feel it, you have to make the move," ODU head football coach Bobby Wilder explained. "I didn't go into this game thinking [Williams] would play."

Seeing his first action, the 17 year old Williams completed 9-of-20 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Williams added 34 rushing yards on seven attempts.

"We haven't developed an identity on offense," Wilder noted. "Stevie Williams today gave us an identity. Steven Williams is the quarterback of the Old Dominion football team moving forward."

"They just said 'let's go," Williams explained of how he learned he was about to receive his first college playing time. "My teammates were all behind me. I just had to go do my job and we'll be fine."

Old Dominion outscored North Carolina (1-2), 16-14, in the second half, after trailing the Tar Heels, 39-7, at the half.

Prior to the game, ODU learned All-Conference USA running back Ray Lawry, the program's all-time leading rusher, has a torn hamstring. Head coach Bobby Wilder reveals the injury could keep Lawry sidelined for the remainder of the season.

The Ergon seat was terrible. With each pedal stroke, the wings pressed into my hamstrings. It has been replaced with a Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio 2 saddle. The temporary red tires have been swapped out for some black Hutchinsons.

For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.

Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped, there hasn’t been a single poaching incident in 5 years, as soon as the elephants started to feel secure, they began to breed again, at the last count in 2021 the population has reached 636.

All of this poaching led to Zakouma’s elephants forming a single large dysfunctional herd that included adult bulls, that would ordinarily have been pushed out of the herd, perhaps because of how much the population has grown, the big herd does seem to have started to split into several large herds rather than one single one. Although they are now safe, elephants have long memories, they remain extremely nervous and are difficult to find and approach. Your best chance of seeing them is to wait for them to come to the Salamat River to drink, having established from park HQ where they are first, so that you know where best to wait. This is not fool proof, we tried this and missed them, finally chancing upon this big herd in the south of the park, they didn’t remain in the open for long and quickly ran back into the bush, even though we were a long distance away.
