Interesting trivia tidbit about the interstate highway system.

The big bouncy balls are actually my favorite Pilates tool, though the instructor doesn't like them much, so we only use them once in awhile and when the class is smaller because the selection doesn't match the class (too many folks end up with overinflated and/or larger diameter balls than work well for their size).

Opposite-arm-and-leg on the ball became on the floor for me when my right knee rebelled in pain. It feels okay now, but I can't put weight on it without major discomfort (banged it last Aug 1 and then again in October).

Was thinking of using the elliptical, but the two I prefer were both in use, so off to the track it was. Walked a mile first (14:55), then 5 laps jogging + 2 walking (7 laps to a half mile) and repeat, except I think I miscounted the second jogging segment and did six laps instead of five. Then cool down. So I jogged 11 laps which is more than last time...slight progress.

Pulldowns, adductors and leg presses after plus stretching.

Will E found this article from Wired.com and linked to it in his log. Fascinating story about maps and mapping in Soviet times.

Aerobics, abs, and weights with a bit of stepping

Mainly a body-weight workout, though we did use hand weights for chest presses, flies (one armed), inner thighs, and biceps. Lots of stuff to bother my shoulder.

Half mile walk, half mile jog, half mile walk, three laps jog, finish the mile walking, then cool down.

Pulldowns and leg presses after plus stretching.

Class in Chatham; back for the first time since before Idaho (sessions go 6 or 7 weeks with a week off; often the break weeks correspond with our vacations so I'm away even longer). She wants to work the class up to a one minute plank by the end of the session. BTDT.
