6 down, 2 to go

The walk in Hamlin was a lot of fun... you should always bring your pet skinny person to a race: it does wonders for your pace! Though Doug was vaguely annoying - he didn't even break a sweat... but I'm really glad he came. He gets 10000 Awesome Husband Points.

So now I have TWO shirts in my 'Exercising. On purpose' collection.

(I went ahead and signed up for the 3 hour endurance thing in two weeks as well.)

After the walk, I went to BodyFlow (yoga/tai chi/pilates)... which is currently fighting it out with BodyStep in "Liz's List of Things She'd Rather Go to the Dentist than Do." I won't be returning any time soon. I've gone quite inflexible in my old age (I say as I unwrap myself from my icepacks and take a moment to pop a couple of Ibuprofen): by the time I gathered up my will to try the particularly bendy move they were exhibiting, they were already 3 moves away. I ended up on my hands and knees a lot because I can't manage a 'Downward Dog' so now I'm bruised up and feel like my knee caps are coming unanchored.

Two more to go in the "Body" collection (there's also something called "Art of Strength" to try as well as a trip to the pool for water aerobics): BodyJam - which I will try tomorrow - and BodyAttack - which doesn't appear until Thursday @ 4:15. Sooooo starting Tuesday, I pick the things I want to make a habit of attending (so far: Combat, Pump and RPM.)

I'm looking around for some extra padding for the spinning class and have found some padded bike briefs by a company called "Andiamo!" They're cheap enough... but still, not sure they'll fit.

Ugh.

Still pretty sore from my adventures this week, but went ahead and walked at around 5 (2x around Redbud. Thought about 3rd, but I jogged a bit so I was extra tired). It was still in the 90s, but at least there was a little breeze blowing. I've started noticing that my face is turning in to one giant freckle so I added a layer to my disguise and invested in a cap emblazoned with the name of my high school mascot ('eagles' - ohhh yea. I ooze with school spirit) as well as some face sunscreen (so the label actually says it's FACE sunscreen... if you put it somewhere else, is it immediately rended ineffective?)

Wheeee!
