The weakness in my right arm is rearing it’s ugly head lately and I’m really not digging it. I had been able to use 12 pound weights for a short period, but I’m back down to 5 pound weights. I use a heavier weight in my left arm sometimes, but I’m not back up to 12 pounds again. Ryan had to help me do my bun after I got my hair up into a pony tail this morning. I pretty much used all my strength just to get it into a pony tail and couldn’t hold my arm up after that. So frustrating and makes me feel even more weak. I think that’s probably one aspect I like about going to boot camp, I know I have gotten stronger if I think back to my first few days (or weeks!) there.
Freight House today was pretty killer. It was harder on my knee than I expected (I injured it in typical fashion – falling out of a bronco – two months ago and I’m still not 100%). I had to ice it for a long time when I got back. Other than that, man was it good. I wish I could get into a whirlpool hot tub after bootcamp…that would be ideal. =D
It has been raining constantly for the past two weeks – getting really tired of this much water, but on the flip side it’s not nearly as hot as it usually is in the middle of June. I guess we have to take our wins where we can! However, because of the rain, Taryn and I haven’t been able to get our evening runs in. Crossing our fingers that we are able to go tonight – it will be a pick up from Week 3 (hey, as long as we aren’t quitting, I don’t care where we pick up from!). We may just do an extra day this week and next week to catch up.
We did go swimming for about an hour and a half on Sunday afternoon, though – and goodness knows that swimming burns calories!
