This week is the best fitness week I have had in a long time !!

I went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday. I tried a new gym in Cornelius on Monday and really liked it. I over did it a bit on the bench press on Monday and I am still sore today (I will NEVER learn !!)

I was off the rest of the week, and Bailey and I spent some quality time together out on the walking trails. We walked over a mile both days, and checked out a new greenway trail near downtown Concord. The best thing was Bailey was excited about exercising, so she can be ready for the Concord Christmas parade on Saturday. I really hope this trend continues after the parade is over, and we can keep doing our walking "thing."

It will be a busy weekend, but I hope to get in some walking later in the evening. Wish me luck !

Paybacks...

They say paybacks are ..well you know. I must payback my gym buddy/ friend Mike. After killing me in the gym a few weeks ago, he "Made" me move all his heavy furniture this weekend and carry it down lots of stairs ;-) So my arms, legs and back have been killing me all week.

I went to the gym on Monday, but all I could manage was some treadmill time, 60 crunches, and 5 minutes on the elliptical machine. I hope to go back on Monday and get some serious exercise. Now if it would just stop raining, I could go for a walk around the neighborhood.

I am going to try and go walking with Bailey tomorrow, and a few days next week, so she will be in shape for her big walk in the Concord Christmas Parade next Saturday.
