Pump it up!

Tonight after work I went to Body Pump class. Last week I did great in class, but my chest was sore the next day. Today I added a bit more weight to each set, and again, felt like Jell-o when class was over, but it's a great feeling! I absolutely love how all of the classes at the Y are centered around music. In spinning, each song is either full of sprints, or a climb, or jumps, in body pump each song is focused on a different body part or exercise. Lunges for a whole song.... hurts! But hurts so good!

So I have a random story to share. On Saturday, I grabbed my sneakers from my gym bag, put them on and left for my run. About 1/4 mile in, I felt something weird in my toes. At first I thought my toes pierced through my socks, then I thought maybe I lost a toe nail. I could feel something in there bobbing around, and it was just driving me crazy, so I stopped to see what it was.
I took my shoe off and found a hair band with 2 bobby pins strewn on it! I guess it was in my gym bag, and somehow got into my shoes. I'm so happy that it wasn't either of the things I thought it could be!

So tomorrow is hump day... yay! This weekend is going to be pretty crazy, but fun, I'm excited! Tomorrow is another spinning class with Carlos, who I adore and gives me a great workout.

  2. OMG! Checking in my shoes (esp boots) before I put them on my foot is my ocd. I think there are spiders in there or something (but I've never seen one) LOL.

  8. I'm psycho about "things" being in my shoes. If there is even the slightest wrinkle in my sock I will take my shoe off immediately and re-adjust. I wouldn't have made it more than 2 seconds with that much stuff in there. Funny story - hahaha!

  9. No post 2 days in a row? Did the POAS mentioned on H&F not go well?
