   What a humid morning! It rained last night which meant the scent of dead fish hung in the air. Or perhaps it was the three crawdaddies I saw lying on the road. One was huge! I wish I had my camera, it looked like a mini lobster. I don't know where he came from as the river is down the hill and through the woods a bit. A good run, my quads were sore because I ran yesterday, but I survived.

     Yay for good run/survival. Not so much a yay for dead animals.

   Body Revolution Cardio 1. I think I've mentioned this is an 8 exercise circuit, each exercise a minute long, no rests, for 3 times through? I've been rewinding and redoing the last circuit. I bet by next week I'm up to five times through! Not bragging but just saying I REALLY enjoy this workout.

     Personally, I love videos because you don't have to count reps or pay attention to the clock. :-)

   I didn't run yesterday morning because it stormed Monday night, that coupled with the fact I live by the river it was so foggy I couldn't see anything. I ran today instead. My Garmin battery was dead again so I wore my heart rate monitor. Estimated 2.5 based on time.

   Body Revolution Workout 4. A lot of abs in this one. I hate working abs. Jillian has you do a "hollow man" (on your back legs 6 inches off the ground, shoulders blades off the ground, and hold) which I hate doing. But, it's for my own good, so that makes it tolerable. ;-)

     Is body revolution a new Jillian video or do you know that from a another one? I started using her Yoga Meltdown last year & love it! I also tried Ripped in 30 & liked it also though I have to do half of the reps. I quit in winter & am just now starting back. If that's her, do you know if it's harder than this one. Or is it someone else & comparable? I'm interested in good videos (& hate perky stuff like Denise Austin).

     No More Trouble Zones is another good one. It's on the long side at 45 minutes but definitely a good workout. :-)

   Body Revolution Workout 3. Into a new set of workouts for the next two weeks. This one focuses on chest, shoulders, tri's and quads. Most of the exercises were body weight and I gotta tell you, this workout killed me like the other ones didn't and I was using weights in those. I love the challenge.

   When I started walking it was humid and the sun bright, making a sauna from last nights' rain. I had only intended 2-3 miles but then the clouds came and with it a cool breeze so I just kept on wandering about. The flowers are very pretty right now.

     It's hard to stop walking when it's like this. So many sights and sounds of spring.

   My body is getting used to running again! Hooray! My legs have always been fine but the rest of me hasn't. I managed to keep my heart rate in the 160's despite running a little quick and the 94% humidity. It only creeped into the 170's in the last mile when I was hitting some minor hills. It's very encouraging and was a good run.

    The run that almost didn't happen. I did NOT want to get out of bed. I was hot because I forgot to adjust the AC. But I made myself. Then turns out my Garmin battery was dead, so I almost got back in bed. But, Kim and I have a standing Tues and Thurs run-date, which got me out the door. I've been running 2 miles in 24 and change so I ran 25 minutes just to make sure.

    Body Revolution Workout 1. Working on doing the advanced modifications of the exercises when warranted. In all Jillian's workouts she tells you how to make an exercise easier or harder based on your ability, I'm working on the harder versions. Case in point: Warrior 2 pose with 5 pound dumbbells in each hand for a minute. Yeah, shakesville. I'm loving every minute of it, though.
