Fitness Challenge 12/10/10

Since Lady Diana seems to be offline today, I'll go ahead and start our fitness challenge!

I ran 8 miles in two stints today. 6 during my lunch hour and 2 tonight.

What did ya'll do to improve the fitness today?!

Thanks, Carlea!  

No wonder you wanted to update - good work on the 8 miles!  Wow!  What made you decide to run the extra 2?  I NEVER do that.  ;)

My teachers want me to do 3 ballet classes a week now.  So I tried that this morning, but went to the wrong class.  Long story short is that I wound up doing Zumba instead.  It was a great class - the teacher really did choreography, which made it feel more like a dance class than usual.  I loved it!

I was supposed to run with my running buddy in the evening, but the rain has been so bad here that I knew I had better get the run in when I could at lunch. Then, I felt bad and didn't want her to have to go by herself, so I got in another two with her, but my body was just too tired to go much further.

I envy how graceful and coordinated you must be. I have zero rhythm. If a fitness class has even the slightest bit of dance in it, I get completely confused!

I only got in 2 walks and 40 push-ups. Next week I need to double everything.

Yesterday started great with floor exercises.  It was warm enough to work the ponies so I drove Chili first and he was a good boy.  Then off to ride Poppy.  I have a new saddle for her and to make a long story short, I didn't get the girth tight enough and the saddle slipped and off I came.  The ground is much harder than it was when I was 40 instead of 60.  I am very sore but will drive Chili today since we have one more warmish day before the next cold blast comes in.
