BIG workout weekend!

[SRP]

Okay, y'all. What a weekend.

First, I did the Gauntlet for the first time ever on Saturday. Yow! My whole body was fried for hours afterward. Felt great!!! I can't wait to try the other two Terminators.

Second, I went running for the first time in FOUR years on Sunday. It's absolutely amazing how many different muscles it uses from step or kickboxing. Can you say DOMS? Unfortunately, my stupid knee also hurts a little - maybe a good new pair of shoes and a brace will help. I really want to work this back into my routine every so often. But it was the knee that made me quit in the first place.

Just thought I'd post about how much fun I had!

Glad to hear you hada good workout on the weekend. I love big exercise days. My husband and I had one of those a few weekends ago in Door County. We hiked for 15 miles one day and went bike riding (on single speed elvira gulch bikes) for 25 miles. We were exhausted when we got home.

Oh, and I buy new shoes now as soon as my joints (ankles or knees) begin to hurt when running. I use the old running shoes for step for a while and then I pitch them. Hope this helps.

GREAT JOB!!!!

Watch the knee, ice it after running whether it hurts or not. Do get shoes. Go to a specialty running shop and have the pro's properly fit your foot. It doesn't cost anymore than if you went elsewhere to buy shoes. Make sure you buy a half size larger than usual.
