I was a sweaty mess this morning. I went to the gym alittle bit later than usual and saw WAY TO MANY people I know. I'm kinda of anti-social at the gym (usually because I just roll out of bed and don't look my best and want to hurry and get my workout done).

Came home and got the kids off to school and went back to the gym for a power pump class. Man-alive, I am uncoordinated and a wimp. Now, I definitely need a shower.

Nice work lady! 2-a-day at the gym, you are tough!

On your last question about adding miles when you've done a full 10 min, I would have to say follow a simple add 15-20% at a time rule. Maybe like 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, 2.25, 3.0 in a week (increase each day) and see how you feel. Take the next week to follow a solid 3 miles a day for 3-4 days then bump from there. This is all, of course, assuming NO pain.

Don't sweat in front of your friends. That would be embarrassing.
