Pam, that 5k sounds idyllic, Kimbur if you can do it go girl.
Me, today I hiked the local mountain, still quite a bit of snow and you have to take the dog as there is a bit too much wildlfe for my liking and her ears are better. My back is killing me. Probably from the slip in the mud. It felt good though and DH was happy I went with him. I couldn't quite keep up but better than I used to be.

Kimbur – do sign up for the 5K – I’ve only done one, but want to do more, loved it!
Crazigerl, the hike sounds amazing – sorry you slipped in mud, yuck! I’m reading a novel with large parts taking place in BC – sounds like you have beautiful country there!
I ran one mile today on the dreadmill, followed by a pretty intense weight lifting session – my trainer buddy stopped by, looked at my clipboard and suggested “it’s time to shake it up, don’t you think?” so we have an appointment for next Monday.
My weekend was rich in bad behavior, so this week, no excuses!

Pam , Abby and Crazigerl I printed out the entry form for the 5k. I am going to send it in in hopes that the commitment will get me to train and follow through for it.
I didn't exercise today. I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Last nights cheat meal reeked havoc with my GI system
Hopefully tomorrow I 'll feel better and get back on track.

Abby, I am totally stealing that statement. Glad you had a great workout. We do have beautiful scenery.
Kimbur, sorry you are feeling under the weather. I'm thrilled you took the step towards kicking the 5k's butt.
Today I did steady state cardio, my trainer has me on steady state one day, interval the next time. Then I did super sets for upper body. Feeling so good I'm ready to take on the world.

Kim, the commitment is a great idea, putting the money down makes you want not to waste it! Hope you feel better soon.
Crazigerl, you are welcome to any statement of mine! Glad your workout left you ready to take on the world, not sure it’s ready for you!
Today was spinning really hard class – I pushed some high numbers briefly, and really enjoyed the recovery periods!
Be strong!

Whooo hoooo, I finally got "toes to the ring" this morning. This is a movement where you are hanging on rings (like the ones male gymnasts use) and using a bit of a swing and a kip lift your toes overhead to the ring. It is as much technique as it is strength. I knew I had the strength I just couldn't get the technique down until today

I ran 5K in 28 mins 40 seconds – not my best not my worst. This was followed by a pretty challenging boot camp which I will feel tomorrow, lots of lunges and squats.
Happy day all!
