Fitness Challenge - September 9th

 Good Morning!

Please continue sending best thoughts to our VitaLady family.

I'm home from work today because of the Jewish New Year so I've been a very lazy girl thus far.  But that's about to change because my body is begging for a workout.  hahaha.... isn't that the funniest thing you've ever heard from this girl who spent a lifetime on the couch waiting for the urge to exercise to pass!

I'm about to head up to the Regional Park for a hike in the hills with a friend who's having Sleeve surgery next Monday morning.   It's a long hike filled with up and down so I'm looking forward to the challenge.  I'll let you know later how it went.

I know Rosa is doing ballet tonight and I bet Gina already has some walks in as well as those arm toning wall pushups.  :)

Shannon, did you find a new exercise DVD or think of something new to try?

So what's the plan gang??

I am taking the day off today, my ankle and hip are sore from my run yesterday. But I think I am going to drag my Jillian Michaels DVD's back out and look for something new this weekend. The last time I did Jillian was right after surgery and I couldn't even finish half of it. I bet I can kick butt with it now!

 Haha... I KNOW you'll kick butt with that DVD!  I hope your ankle and hip are feeling better by morning.

I did a 3.75 mile hill run this morning in the dark! No cars plowed me down and no wild nocturnal animals attacked, so I'm happy. We saw an old guy walking along the road -- he had on an orange vest with mirrors sewn all over it. He told us they were bicycle mirrors. It was funny, but you sure couldn't miss him if you were driving with your headlights on!

I'm most happy that my shin splint and knee held up without pain. I have decided that I can only run every other day. Otherwise it's just too hard on me.

Happy Rosh Hashana, Lee!

 Happy Rosh Hashana!

Congrats on that run.  I'm soooo glad no cars plowed you down!   I think it's great that you know your body and can pace your running days accordingly.

Stitching on the elastics for my new ballet slippers right now!

The class is at 7:30.  Ballet II.  I wonder how I'll look in 6 weeks!!!???!!!

 You'll look great in 1 week.  Six?  Phenomenal!

I'm on a roll, (or in a rut, depending how you look at it), 4 walks and 80 push-ups.

 I'd call it a roll!   :)

Hi Lee,
Hope you enjoyed your walk today.

We walked 2 miles after work today.  It looked like rain, but I think it passed right over us.
