Magnificent morning in Sydney today to walk to work (once I eventually dragged my butt out of bed). It was almost balmy - I took my jacket off about after 20mins and walked the rest of the way in a short sleeve t-shirt; the first time I've done that this side of winter. A fantastic way to start the day - approx. 8kms; 1hr 5mins.
Due to dinner with friends tonight, I've had to shake up the program (yet again) - so I'm off to spin at 1.40pm to try and burn off some calories before Indian food tonight (yum!).
Well you'd think that, by this age, I would be able to read a gym timetable.......it turns out I'm not capable of it today. Misread the time of the spin class so as I arrived at the gym at lunch, it was just ending. Grrrrrr. So after getting on the bike to warm up (and think through my options), I decided to do a lower body weights session (which means I'll have to move Satan's appointment from tomorrow 'cause she will have a lower body session lined up for me). A circuit consisting of:
* lunges with front foot on a bench
* lunges with back foot on a beach
* hamstring curls
* inclined squat machine,
repeated twice followed by 3 of my physio-ordered glute exercises (also repeated twice). It's been a long time since I last did this session and I was surprised by my increase in strength during that time. Legs felt like jelly walking down the stairs afterwards - that's always a good sign !!
Off to see the witchdoctor in the morning...

Hope it went well with the witchdoctor and that you had a great dinner! I went to the gym today and did ab work - not doing any weight training now until after themarathon. So it was 8 different ab exercises -which means I may not be able to move tomorrow! Then i did lots of stretches followed by yoga tonight. Gosh I feel virtuous! And you're right - I did deserve more than 1 Tim Tam but someone in the family had got to the packet before I did and left me one measly Tim Tam! Grrr!
Dear me you're a busy girl Jen - I can't keep up with your gym/satan sessions! Good to see you're noticing improvement so often lately
Thanks for your comment on my blog, Jen! You'll be the first to hear it when I start to run out of sight during daylight! Great circuit class!
