Funny Story!!!!

Funny story to start out tonight. I got to the gym and was putting on my gym shoes when I hear, "Hi, Paula" and I turn to say Hi to Erin and notice the big black brace on her knee. Instead of "Hi" it was "Did you do that at the race yesterday?" http://www.warriordash.com/register2011_minnesota.php# and yup, Erin got to the jump over the pit of fire and decided it was too easy for her. So she did something fancy and landed wrong---felt her knee give out and she still had the swamp to go through!!! She made it to the end and now today the knee is swelling and starting to turn black and blue. Tomorrow I will drop off some exercises that my physical therapist gave me after my knee injury for strengthening the knee. Hopefully she will be back up and going next week :)

Today's workout was good. I started out with a 40 pound barbell doing deadman lifts, then upright rows, and then bicep curls. Repeat. I did not think I would make 12 reps on the bicep curls--but I did TWICE!!!!!

Then it was 20 pound barbell doing upright rows again, back lunge with a front arm lift, and then one armed weighted front lunges--Repeat.

Then we moved over to the bar machine (I don't know the name for it). I did pull ups and then weighted squats with the bar (25 pounds). Repeat.

Then I did obliques, front lifts, and one armed row lifts--at 30 pounds. Repeat.

Then I did planks against a bench with front kick and side to side kicks. 30 seconds. Rest. Repeat.

Overall a good workout. Erin said it was good that on Mondays it is her regulars so that she does not need to show us new stuff with her knee.

I am pretty sure that my arms will be killing me by Wednesday.

Have a good week!
