Work It!

The workouts have begun, and oh my aching body. 

They made me run.  I knew they would, and I know I said I really want to learn how to be a runner, but there's a reason I'm not.  I hate it.  I'm pretty sure I don't know how to do it right - my body just feels so awkward. And the fact that I was completely traumatized by a run of about a hundred yards should tell you exactly how much I am NOT a runner. But I ran.  I did it.  And then the next day, while taking the kiddos to school, I ran again.  Of my own volition.  I nearly can't believe it myself.

We did a lot more than a tiny little run at our first workout.  Circuit training definitely hit all the major muscle groups, and got my heart rate and respiration to a place I haven't experienced in a long time.  I can't say I enjoyed it - I'm still so dismayed that this should be so difficult - but I LOVE being able to say that I did it.

And now I'm headed out to do it again.
