Amy - Two workouts in!

It's Tuesday night and it's been a long couple of days with my normal school/work schedule. Added to that are sore muscles from Fall Shape Up, but it's the good kind of sore.

Monday morning we completed some assessments, including running a little over a mile, one minute of push-ups, and one minute of crunches. I was fairly happy with what I could do and I'm really looking forward to our second assessment to see just how far I've come.

This morning we spent an hour in Sparky's Yard, which reminded me of summer camp with it's big tent and dried leaves in the corners. We did a variety of drills; running, jogging, burpies (birpies? berpies? Anyway you spell it, it comes out h-e-l-l), weights, circuit training, etc. I love the whole body aspect of the work-out. I usually focus on jogging, with a few push-ups and sit-ups almost as an afterthought, but today was great. I was sweating and working muscles all over my body.

We're keeping a food diary for two days now to be handed in to our trainer on Thursday morning. It's made me think twice about eating a few things. Do I really want to have to tell my trainer I ate three cookies? Shame is a motivator. :)

I looked over our syllabus for the first time tonight and got pretty excited about it. In just a couple of weeks we'll be running A Mountain? There's some ASU fitness spirit for you. Bring it, Sparky, I'll race you to the top.
