Update

Friday morning at the gym I started strength training again and WOW am I SORE!!

The exercises consisted of:

3 sets of 10-15 reps

bench press (10 lbs plus bar)
squat (20 lbs plus bar)
side lunges with twist (8 lb ball)
crunches on ball
bosu ab ball toss and twist (8 lb ball)
side bends (10 lb free weight)

I think that is it. But, I was extremely sore until today (Tuesday). I guess that means I am way out of shape and need to amp up my strength training.

Yesterday, (Monday) I started a hip-hop class for fun with a few of my friends. It runs for 6 weeks, every Monday. It was sooo fun! The instructor is coreographing a dance to Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. It is so fast, and hard! Monday is technically a rest day for me, but thats okay, I can squeeze in hip hop. I was sweating by the end of it. Each week the routine builds on top of what we learned the previous week. The instructor showed us the whole thing and it is way cool. Maybe if you are lucky I will show it to you when I learn and master the routine.

Today my co-worker who is also a part of our Rehab Runners Running Club on Friday's asked me if I wanted to run during lunch. She is the only person who shares the same lunch time as me in the whole department. Of course I said yes! So today is 3 miles in our marathon training. We shall see how it goes...
