week past

I realized today that is had been a week since I have looked at the blog. So I am doing a quick blog for last week. On Monday for class we had a workout that was so tough I was still sore on thursday. I rode my bike to school and then did the workout within 10 minutes of the workout I was dripping in sweat. Then because I was tired I went a different route homw thinking it would be easier on my tired body when infact it took twice as long to get home because the route was much longer and I was sore. Then on tuedsay I did the slim in 6 workout with Cynthia and her friend. Then had to work on wednesday and was so sore I could hardly squat and all or bend over because my legs were not happy. For class on wednesday we also had a super tough workout were I was dripping with sweat within a few minutes again. So all in all it was an eventful with exercise.

running so I could swim

Cyndi and I went running tonight. This time we ran at my house so she got to experience Mt. Everest Jr.(Cyndi agrees on the name). We did two miles of walk/run. I ended up having to walk more tonight because I started getting cramps in my toes. Does anyone know what to do for toe cramps and pain??? After we ran we decided to get in the pool. It was too cold to swim but it did feel good after being out running in the warm weather.

Thursday Workout

Thursday was a great workout and active day for me. It started with the 25 min workout of Slim N 6 and then I worked in the yard from about 8:30-1:00. This consisted of mowing our lawn, weeding my front flower bed, trimming the lilac bushes, flushing out the gophers(thats right they're back) and hoeing out my back flower bed. I then rode my bike over to a friends house to do the workout video again but we ended up passing on that. I was an awesome day and I felt like I had so much energy. Then on Friday I was so sore I couldn't work out and Saturday I woke up sick and now I am still sick with a stuffed up nose and sore throat. Not fun. I guess I over did it on Thursday.

running with a friend

I got up and went running with Cyndi this morning. It was beautiful out and it was really nice to run with someone. We synced our ipods so the podrunner workouts were the same. We did a 30 minute walk/run workout. I'm not sure the distance and now after 5 hours of a dance recital tonight I'm too tired to try and figure it out.

2.5 miles and Slim in 6

I ran this morning with my friend Kelly for about 2 miles and then I ran to my friend Lauras who is letting me borrow her Slim in 6 workout videos. The run was so nice. It was humid but we went at a light pace and it seemed over before it began. I then did the first day of Slim in 6 which was tougher than I expected. I'm not sure why but for some reason I always feel like I am really fit even though I am not. Well this video confirmed the real situation. It wasn't bad at first but then I couldn't get my breathing under control and when I was doing the squats and lunges my legs started shaking. Now for the kicker. The workout is only 25 minutes long. haha. Well gotta starts somewhere right?

Running in Hagerman

So I finally went running here. All of you have been showing me up. I am so proud of Melissa especiallly for getting out and running and exercising alot. Yeah Melissa. So back to running... I finally went running while here in Hagerman. It was about 65 degrees outside with a slight breeze and beautiful. I went up to the stoplight down to the shop around the loop and then around the park once in under 20 minutes. I ran most of the way with a little bit of walking in between. The worst part of the run was the bugs that where beginning to come out but other then that it was good to get out again. The best part was I didn't see any snakes which will make any day better.

Wii Running

I didn't make it outside for a run today because I was determined to get all of the laundry done. Not the best of excuses but if you had seen the mounds of laundry just waiting and begging to be washed you would understand. I'm almost done with the laundry and now it's too late to go out for a run. I did run with the wii fit today. I did the island lap for the first time. I've determined it is a lot harder to run in place for 12 minutes than to be moving forward. My legs were killing. I guess a little workout is better than no workout. Any one know how long the island lap is suppose to be on the wii fit??
