Starting out with a Bang

Thursday 1/3/13

So not comfortable with putting "13" for the year.  13 has always been thought of as an unlucky number.  Based on some of the current events making headlines one might think that unluck could be the theme for 2013.  I guess we'll see how lucky I will be or won't be next Thursday when I get the first paycheck of this year. 

I had my first personal training session with Lindsay last night and I can barely walk today!  In a good way of course.  She really knows how to show a girl a good time.  What she did last night was an endurance test that we will repeat at the end of my sessions to track my improvement.  Well let me tell you, I had no freaking idea that I could leg press 160 pounds.  I just never would have pushed myself to that level.  Which is exactly why I bought those sessions.  I want to be pushed to my limit.  I also registered for the Ultimate Body Challenge through the Michigan STS today.  It is a 12 week challenge to get me to my level 10.  I took measurements and and had a body scan.  Now I have a starting point and a new goal that is pushing me to make better choices, one day at a time. 

I did not do a short run today.  Too damn sore from personal training on Wednesday.  Wow, is my body gonna have to adjust to this quickly.  I'm sure it will.  Gonna shoot for a short run sometime tomorrow and then I only have a 6 mile run for this weekend.  It's a recovery week.  Thank God!  I am still feeling a little beat up.  I am now challenging myself in ways that I have not in the past.  My glutes and quads are screaming at me today.  I have to get one of those foam rollers but they scare me a little.  I think I'll go take a yoga class too.  That could be helpful.  Teaching yoga is cool but you can't get what you need out of giving others what they need.
