Lots of leg work today.

This was more like a 4.5, just slightly easier than yesterday. I did hit the red zone for one round, and we had Burpees between all rounds. Ugh!

I had some trouble sleeping last night, and a terrible cramp in my calf when I woke up this morning. Also, my entire upper half was sore, but on to kickboxing. Today was the first time I got in the red zone since my HR was reset, and I did this on two rounds. Most of the time I was in yellow, with copious sweating.

Not that I felt like it, but the weather is nice today, and tomorrow and Saturday will be brutal. So, knowing that ElRay really needed a walk, we had some girl-bonding time at Watkins Mill, but didn't walk all the way around.

Workout with Jared. After warmup and the usual agility drills, I got to push the sled across the gym, then push backward on the short handles. This is a real quad-burner. Three trips. Then we did lots of arm stuff.

A little different time for 9Round. I managed to beat my challenge time on the sit-ups with double punch--I did 100 in 3 minutes, and felt like a machine.

C • Machine 1

Challenging, but not over the top today. We did the sit-up challenge again, and I had hoped to better my count from yesterday, but only managed 92 today.

Today was "whittle your middle Monday", so lots of core stuff. I started on Round 7, and felt very worked out, but couldn't really get my HR up doing this stuff. Then I hit the Challenge on Station 4, situps with double punching the big bag, as many as you can do in 3 minutes. Megan came by (college age, she was the trainer today) and told me she had done 90. I love challenges--I did 94. Yes, I have a 4-pack, since I am too short-waisted to have a 6-pack.

Bob, ElRay, and I went walking at Jesse James Park. We ambled some, and it was fairly hot.
