Last night was the first time I'd done any kind of strength training in ages. I mean I know how important it is, but I can just never stick to it. But last night I went to my friend's Muscle Works class. It's an hour long and you hit every major muscle group during the class. I'm sore today. But in a good way. My shoulders and triceps especially.

After the class, I decided I wanted to go for a run, just a short one because it's been since the race that I've run. Unfortunately by the time class was over it was getting a little too dark to get any type of run in outside. So that meant I was stuck with the treadmill. I was trying to be all positive. Thinking it wouldn't be that bad. But man it sucked. Not the run itself, the fact that I had to do it on the treadmill.

I put it on the hills course to get a bit of a challenge and then did it for 30 minutes. My earbuds weren't staying in my ears so my iPod was rendered useless. Good thing the gym usually plays good tunes.

One thing I just don't get about treadmills is the speed thing. I programmed it for 5 miles an hour, which should average out to a 12 minute mile. When I'm outside I can do that or faster without a problem. On the treadmill though it felt like I was doing an all out sprint sometimes. Does anyone have any idea what's up with that?

Tonight I'm teaching yoga again for my boss because she's still sick, and then I think I'm going to stick around and take kickboxing because it's my favorite class ever.
