Week 17

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, it gets stepped up another notch or two! Our first of three lifting routines yesterday was tough as nails... and we loved every minute of it (and the resulting after-burn.... that first-morning stretch was tinged with that oh-so-familiar feeling of having put your body through something new... those back muscles especially :)  Although I suspect some of the tightness could be a result from copious amounts of shoveling this weekend too (and again it is snowing... anyone got a bucket-loader i can borrow? heaven knows where else i can put the stuff!), my bet is on the weight routine. Four sets of varying reps, and two lactic bench sprints after the entire workout - plus a few extra pushups and chinups at home (what can i say, we really wanna improve our numbers at the next fit test!)... 

Also got some GREAT news today - we got into the Vermont City Marathon in May!! Each of us running a half, this will be the third time we're running it together. It'll be the extra little push we need to get dump a few remaining and annoying pounds, and get lean and ready for training camp. YAY!
