Reach to the ceiling...

Wow...amazing what two days of sleeping-in will do for you. Ok not real sleeping-in but at least not waking up at 4:50 a.m. I didn't take the full two days of the weekend off. On Saturday, I did jog with the dog around my neighborhood block. It's about 1 mile. I've not been able to jog the whole way before.

And... we rode over 140 miles on the motorcycle on Saturday. I could feel my glutes by the end of the ride. That's the frog on Pat's motorcycle.

Since we can't make it a full 5 day camp week, I really want to concentrate on at least getting in cardio on the non workout days. But, it just feels so good not getting up before 5:00 a.m. I'll keep trying.

Today we had a substitute trainer, Jennifer. She was cute and very flexible (body wise, no - we still had to do the whole work out). She actually did the full warm up with us. She kept a smile on her face even though it was so early. Her normal job includes doing group X classes and aerobic type ones. I think we almost got her talked into doing outdoor workouts instead of indoor ones. She kept saying to reach toward the ceiling. We had a gorgeous sunrise and the morning clouds were spectacular. Hopefully she won't start telling her indoor class to reach for the clouds. No rain for us yet.

We did some more partner things which resulted in some giggling as we ran around the court and back intermixed with different exercises at our meeting point. The football coach came out and told her that we were going to make his football team look bad with the amount of work we were doing.

Roy should be proud, Jennifer seemed surprised that we had good form through each of our exercises and movements. She seem to think we had a lot of experience. I think what he tells us must work because we try and concentrate on the muscle or muscle group that we should be feeling with the particular exercise.

We are going to miss the hill again tomorrow. Pat thinks maybe we should try to make a Tuesday or Thursday workout just to experience "the hill."
