OMG Rachel i WAS running when you posted that

My weeks are all over the place because XP took a new job which is in another town 4 days on, 4 days off, which means i can't go to ANY regular classes!

So my pump looks like this:
2 weeks @ lunctime on a Monday
2 weeks @ evening on a Tuesday
2 weeks @ evening on a Thursday

Keeping pump up is hard enough so adding Step is on hold but i DID just buy myself a step to use in the house during naptime if i want. Most weeks i am doing pump x1, step (about 40-60mins of various moves i got online, with abs and freeweights work in there too) x2 and one or two runs a week. I totally lost my running mojo and am only just beginning to get it back now, and i STILL have a sore foot but i'm pretty sure at this stage it's soft-tissue strain from wearing DD, (she's 15kg now) which i'm not willing to give, so i'm just running slower and longer and not thinking too much ahead or "training".

Today i did about 50mins running of mainly 11-12min/miles with 2 sets of 3x100m hill sprints in there too. Then i stretched, did 2 1min planks, one 30sec half-plank and a few leg extensions. Then DD, still stuck in the jogger, threw my water bottle over me and i saw her point so we went in. It's scorching here today, so i was glad to be running before 10am!

Rachel my pump instructors won't let you do them more than 3 times a week or without a day off in between - maybe if you're training for certs they do though? Re: the biceps, can you not switch to using donuts and stick 3 each side for that track? That'd be 6kg...? Depends though, if you have a lot of folk in the classes there might not be enough for you to hog 6

I went to Monday's class and there were only 12 of us, only one guy. There was only ONE woman lifting the same as/more than me (she has superstrong triceps it would seem...)! Can't believe it!

Talking of triceps...i am really struggling this release! It's the dips at the end. I took my bar down to 7 (from 9) and i STILL can't complete the dips, even with my feet flat!
