4 down, 5 to go

Last week I swam laps in the pool for 1/2 an hour and I was SO TIRED!!! I forgot what a great workout that is. Thanks Kim! I want to start swimming on a regular basis. (Dad, this is a great way to get some exercise without aggravating the plantar fascia).

I also took a yoga class, which was nice. The teacher was pretty good but a little slow and used that fake "yoga voice" that made me want to puke. I did get some ideas from it though and a nice stretch. It was a good reminder for me to "keep it real" when I'm teaching my own classes. I'm looking forward to taking one of Mesha's classes, because I know she's the real deal.

I took a long walk and discovered some canyon trails by my house. It was a beautiful day and I was so happy that I forgot I was "exercising". I think that walking is an amazingly therapudic stress-reliever.

The "playing in the park" workout is a pretty frequent one for me, so that one was easy! The kids and I did handstands, somersaults, cartwheels, push ups, races, tag..... They love it when I get off my butt and actually play with them! It's one of the few times that they don't whine and complain (at least not excessively) ;-)

So... in the next week I'm going to climb Cowels Mt., take Salsa and Zumba classes, go for a jog outside and lift weights. I can't wait!

This is FUN!!!
