Oh you poor thing
Hope you're all finished up soon. Whats everyones else's excuse?!
Well i coulnd't run thurs/fri/saturday because it was too dangerous with the buggy in the high winds. VERY annoying as i was climbing the walls and DD was none-too-chuffed being stuck in all the time either!
I did run 7k on Sunday, without the buggy which made my slow-and-easy pace WAY faster!
Monday i was kind of ill, DP had had a horrible fever/cough thing a bit like flu over the weekend and i was afraid i was getting it too, but it all came to not much and i think basically it was another sinus infection
I skipped my swim but made it to bodypump last night, which was great. Our usual instructor was off and the other girl took it. She's great but a ball-buster - she actually REMEMBERS how much people lifted last time and forces them to put their weights up. And she swapped the biceps for a real toughie with a lot of fast fast reps too. My arms are killing today, it was a great class
I'm putting my squats and back weights up again next week i think.
The sun is (FINALLY) out here and the winds have (FINALLY) dropped a bit, so i'm gonna take DD out to the park so she can run a bit and i can run a bit (5k?) ahead of our planned outing this afternoon. YEAY!

I bet your little girl loves being in the pram whist you run, having the wind in her hair - it would be fantastic!
Hope you've been able to run a bit more now
I have had my biggest ever week at the gym this week.
Mon - Pump/Step
Tues - Pump/Combat
Wed - Combat/Pump
Thurs - Step
Fri - Off
Sat - Pump/Attack
It was awesome, I feel great (bit tired and sore). I want to do the same next week and add an Attack class on the Friday.
Woohoo I love it! Now i'm un-doing all the good work by drinking lots and lots of beer!
Have a good weekend everyone

Body Pump
I'm not a fan of the latest release of Body Pump (dont know the number). It just doesn't seem to jell for me. Too many transistions, poor timings, all a bit jolty. Plus none of the songs really do it for me.
Also not a fan of the latest Body Step. Don't I sound like a grump now! It always throws me off when we start off with the block around the "wrong way"!
Do others have opinions?
Are you on the new release? When did it begin? Is Hot Stepper your abs music and that Chirstina Aguilera that makes you want to kill yourself the cool-down? LOL.
What do you mean about the block?
You do sound moany! Get back in the gym moany! Lol. Only kidding. At least you won't have to suffer it too long, and often when the transitions and timings feel bad it's because it's challenging your body more. They mix it up to keep you awake and keep you working. No pain no gain right?

Ruth is talking about Pump 65 and Step 71. You should get those some time in the next year Bec
Pump 65 is a KILLER! Full on squats and lunges and no break in the chest track, phew! I kinda know what you mean Ruth, but I really like it. One of our instructors has already started mixing it up and we did 26 today - ouch! It's amazing that it only takes a few weeks to get used to something, even if it is really hard. As for Step I think it has to be one of my favourites!
It is off-putting starting the other way around (the block is front facing the instuctor instead of side facing) and I must admit I don't like doing the speed step that way round, but I really like all the new moves and the music is cool.
Have you tried any of the others? In Combat 35 there is Roundhouse challenge so practice for it Bec, 26 RH kicks without putting your foot down (well, you are allowed but you shouldn't!), wow it's a great challenge! There's a song from Hairspray, I think it's called "Can't Stop The Beat"? It is AWESOME!
