I can barely type this post my arms are so sore! I've made a self-challenge to start to lift weights. I have really bad posture and need to get my core stronger. So I went to a power pump class - first time ever. That was some tough stuff for a wimp like me! My whole body is sore - head to toe! But I'm going to shoot for twice a week with the weights - we'll see how it rolls. (no cool videos like Burts though)

I got a short bike ride in this evening. Wish I could have gone longer, but I was canning spaghetti sauce, freezing pesto sauce, watching my niece and trying to get dinner ready. So I hit all my close, big hills - 4 of them. Quality not quantity tonight!

30 minute ride - 6.84 miles

wow - canning after a pump class?!? I'd be exhausted and need to sit and watch TV all afternoon :)

Nice work, the pump will get easier - hang in there!!
