1.33 mile run followed by 20 laps in the pool. Should have eaten more this morning- I wore out too soon.

An hour on the treadmill, 20 minutes of pilates, and 20 minutes on the upper body machines. It felt awesome!

45 minutes of racquetball followed by a 45 minute full body workout. As a joke I challenged my trainer to do the whole workout just using one bench and make it tough. He sure did that. The last of many insane things I had to do was hold 20 pound barbells in my hands and standing on one leg on the bench step down to the ground with the other foot slowly on a 6 second count. I had to do this 80 times. But I am sore and happy- so life is good.

2 x 20 minute, steady-state pieces on the Erg (rowing machine).

For regular rowers, this isn't too much of a workout, but for someone like me, who never was a fan of the rowing machines, and hasn't been working out on one regularly in years, this was a tough workout. And now I am sore. I just keep telling myself that the more sore I am now, the less sore I will be after races this fall.:o

leapt out of the way of the 10:27 tram

40 minutes on the elliptical, shoulders and abs - going to beat myself up tomorrow w/ RPM (spinning) and Body Pump.

Walked from my workplace to the parking department several blocks and streets away- and back. Plus the shelving and stair climbing. Needless to say, when I got home I was starved and ate too many pita chips and hummus. And this kind of hummus was not even as good as the other types I have tried.

Couldn't bring myself to do the two classes...instead, did a back and triceps workout and a half hour on the bike.

On a side note...has anyone ever tried the P90X series?

Two hours of ballroom dancing today. :D My cha-cha is coming along nicely, though I get lost on which foot to be on easily. It all depends on how well the guy is leading...really separates the men from the boys. :cool:

1 hour of water aerobics this morning. I did community service at the Atlanta Food Bank later, and I'm counting that as exercise because I felt the burn while inspecting heavy food items and passing them to the packers.

20 minutes on the bike today. I strained my shoulder the other day, and my doc has advised me to take it easy with upper-body exercise, but I wanted to do something.

I took a ballroom dancing class for credit toward my P.E. requirement in college. I was kind of amused that such a fun activity counted as P.E. (Then again, sex burns calories too. ;) ) My husband (then-boyfriend) and I took the ballroom dancing class together, and at my sorority semi-formal that winter, we asked the DJ to play a waltz - and we were the only couple on the dance floor. We really showed off... haha :)

17 times around the track at the high school down the street. Darn ACL festival has made Townlake too crowded and no parking so couldn't run down there today.

Been a very busy few days- but I have kept up with the exercise. Full body workout and racquetball on Thursday, plus 50 laps a day in the pool, on average, the other days of the week. Right now, exercise is my sole refuge from the insanity of work.

I hear ya. I needed to run a couple of errands today on 5th street in downtown and I decided to put them off to Monday figuring ACL- and the UT game- would be making a mess of things.

Awww, that sounds so fun!
