Once upon a time, I did Levels 1 and 2 of Jillian Michaels’ 30-Day Shred back to back. I got pretty sweaty, but otherwise it was awesome.
Today, I just did Level 2 after MANY months of not using that DVD, and WTF! It was tough!

Who’s idea was this?
The funny thing is that the 3 lb. weights I’ve always used now feel like a complete joke, since I grew accustomed to lifting 12.5 lb. to 25 lb. weights at the gym. It’s all the jumping and lunging that wore me out today. There’s a lot of it!
Then I went for a run. It was on the speedy side for me, since I was already warmed up.

It was SUNNY! I squinted throughout the whole run. As a Seattlite, I’m not used to the appearance of that strange bright orb in the middle of winter.

Then I went to the dentist. Oooh, exciting day! Have you ever seen such a nice view from a dentist’s chair??

Hello, I would like to move in here.
And finally, as I was uploading endless photos of shiz I’m selling on Craigslist in preparation for the big trip, I caught this sunset off the balcony of my bedroom.

Stunning.
Seven miles to run in the morning. It’ll be the farthest I’ve run since the marathon!
Hope everyone had a lovely Friday!
