Notes:
- On Sunday Steven and I both got the TDAP booster and I was pleasantly surprised Monday when it didn’t bother me during my swim! Ha, later in the day? Not so much. It was like DOMS – my arm ached the rest of the day Monday and a lot of Tuesday!
- I liked running 800s this week for speedwork. I think it’s because I didn’t feel like I had to go as fast as 400s. Maybe I’ll learn to like mile repeats soon? Or maybe I’ll quit being lazy with speedwork and go faster for 800s too! Ha!
- The strength workout I taught Friday morning was really challenging on the legs and boy could I feel it Saturday am! Whoa! I haven’t felt sore like that from a class I taught in awhile! And usually when I’m that sore it’s because we used the tall plyo boxes and are going up and down a lot. This time, we were going up and down a lot but toward the ground, because we were using low AireX pads. Ouchie! <— in a good way.
- I was supposed to teach fitness boxing today but missed it to meet my new nephew! So you get a picture of him for Sunday!
- I keep forgetting to mention, but my knee had been tight since we did all our house work in August and I spent so much time on my knees. I had issues bending it while sitting cross legged, and going down stairs. The good news is, it’s feeling back to normal. Yay!

Friday’s class was deceptively tough! I think the lunges down to the floor and then up to a kick are what got me the most. I was happy to hear that it was hard even for you 🙂
So glad you were able to get out to see baby William!
My right knee (opposite of the knee I had issues with) has been feeling tight lately, especially when I bend it. It feels fine when I run on it though. Just when I do certain stretches/yoga poses (that require bending it significantly) do I feel anything.
