A funny personal training cartoon

"Go blog about it"

Josh was hilarious tonight. But still hard. When we first started running, he told me to do 5 laps, which is more than ever before, and when I complained he said, "go blog about it." That made me laugh so much that I had trouble running at first. He accused me of using stall tactics again when I moved slower than everyone else - but I am getting used to that.

But, my knee is really, really, really hurting now!!!

I need a break from running.

"This is going to be a blood bath"

That was how last nights training session started. It was with Josh, of course. He saw that there were only 3 of us in the group and he chuckled and said, with an evil grin, "this is going to be a blood bath." And it was! Josh runs me more than anyone else and my knees hurt SOOOO BAD after a Josh work out. Frozen peas to the rescue again... and tiger balm... and tylenol... and ibuprofen.

another term for the blogtionary

Heres another term for the blogtionary.  Kris, this one is dedicated to you.

Snenvy - (snack + envy)  the feeling you get when your co-worker, knowing that you are on a diet, walks past you while eating a cookie (and boisterously enjoying it).  

My own blogtionary

I was reading someone's blog today and he had his own blogtionary. New words he had made up and they were pretty damn funny. So it inspired me to start my own. I can only think of 3 words so far:

Coughnot - when you start to cough and your entire abdominal wall seizes up and you realize how sore you are from the previous days ab workout and the cough turns into a pitiful sputter, while you hold your mid section.

Thlunges - doing lunges while your thongs are creeping up into your nether-regions. Needless to say, quite uncomfortable!

Trumble - when you take a tumble off of the treadmill.

Ok - can anyone else think of some. Tell me and I'll post it and give you cred.

Took a blog vacation

I haven't posted since Thursday! It was a busy weekend. I went to a chili cookoff on Saturday at my Mom (in laws) church. So, since I cheated a bit that day, I hiked in the desert for 5 miles on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday, we visited Justin's brother who was in town from San Diego. And on Sunday afternoon, we went to the Cave Creek mountain preserve and I hiked/ran up and down the trails for 4 miles! I was amazed at how much I was able to run, I really only had to stop because my knees were hurting, not because I was too out of breath. I can really tell that my fitness level in increasing. It was such a pretty view - a good way to enjoy nature and get a good workout. We plan on doing it every Sunday now.

Sensitive subject

Ok - not that I want to give anyone TMI - but I need to discuss this. I try to wear comfortable work out clothes, but I do wear exercise clothes. I havent been wearing loose shorts cuz I don't like showing my woohoo - so I wear exercise pants or capris. They are somewhat hugging, and I don't like panty lines, so I sometimes wear thongs so I wont have unsightly panty lines when I am exercising - you know how it is.

I just have to say that plie squats and thongs REALLY don't go together - I mean REALLY REALLY don't go together. Ouch!! And, it is kind of a small gym - so I couldn't secretly pick the thongs out of the nether regions discreetly - they just stayed there all workout. Nice.

Burned 675 calories. Glad tomorrow is Friday!
