A few have commented on my lack of running updates. Well, last week was kind of a slacker week for running. It was feeling unusually difficult and tiring and I skipped a run and wussed out on the full time another. On Sunday (after procrastinating all day) I decided to go back in the Couch to 5K program and do an older run based on distance, which went well, and involved sprinting up the Lake Park Bistro stairs at the end of the second interval!

And then this week I started doing a few of the 20 min fitness solution workouts, which do incorporate a run each weekend. But they also incoporate more pushups and pullups and squats! Yesterday's workout was overhead bodyweight squats and sprints (well, at the end they were more of fast jog than a sprint). I used my old bokken for the overhead squats so got to walk down the street in exercise gear carrying a wooden sword. Uwe came out to keep me company and play with his camera. Now my thighs don't want to let me go down stairs.

ETA: I can hardly walk...
