Bryan - I am only able to run with the camera because it is one of those little olympus shock-proof water resistant cameras. I just carried it in my hand the whole time this race. For the Minnie, I had a pouch for it on my belt, but that ended up being more of a hassle than it was worth. The downside to this impervious little camera is that it takes fairly mediocre photos. I'm glad to have them, of course. It does help the ol' memory. And you're right - it would have been fun to get a photo of you and Liz and me at Jellyrolls - but NOT of you, Liz and me dancing whatever that manditory dance was!
Kim, I won't forget!!! - I have been busy with the show a lot lately! I spent much of the weekend working on the set - mostly painting, which doesn't sound that strenuous, but we are painting the floor with a skewed sort of checkerboard pattern with little diamonds between the big diamonds. Anyhow, there was LOTS of bending, stooping, squatting, kneeling, crawling and walking around, not to mention brush and roller cleaning in an absolutely unsuitable sink with only cold water. You know me - I'm not one to whine about the cold too much, but this was miserable.
In other news, I am really enjoying my new resistance band workout. I had been liking one sometime last year, but that was just exercises in a magazine - this is a DVD so I don't even have to remember what I'm doing. I feel like it's helping my back a lot and that I am getting stronger each time. There is a whole section of core work and that plank stuff had been very tough. Tonight, I thought it was merely tough, not very tough, so that is progress!
I ran a couple of times last week, most memorably, I did the Podfitness workout I made up I forget when - sometime in the past year and a half. That workout used to really kick my butt, however now, for it to kick me like that, I have to ramp up the speed. It only has 1 minute of running fast and the speed is 6 or 6.1 mph. I bumped it to 7 to get that same brutal effect.
I am also having no trouble with logging my food at this point. I'm in the groove. I am experimenting this week with eating a little more than the past few weeks - this darned WW incarnation and their "Flex" points. I need to get over it, but it's hard for me to get around the mental block of using these seemingly "optional" points at some point during the week. I am getting the impression now that they are not optional, they are just vaguely distributed.
Exhausted now. It's been a long, busy weekend. I'm going to shower and SLEEP. In that order!
