Well, in an effort to be more "rounded" in my training, my coach suggested I should be doing weight training twice a week. Ugh. I haven't worked out in the gym in so long, its crazy. I used to, but in all reality, I never saw much difference so I just quit.

My dh and I joined a gym this past January (like 90% of the New Years resolutioners) and so I decided to try working out with one of their personal trainers once per week. I figured if I did that, I could then do once per week on my own and all would be good.

Well, last Tuesday was my first PT session with my new trainer, Tim. Who, btw, is half my age. I told him my goal was really to work on agility, stability and strength and to most importantly, supplement my tri training. Well, the first day was agony! Can I say that louder? AGONY! We were doing lunges and these jumping around things and using that bosu ball. Seriously, at one point I thought I was either going to have a heart attack or throw up, maybe both. How in the world can that stuff be so hard? I can go out and run 20 miles at a time, but I can't jump around for 30 seconds???

Well, today, I went back for more torture and - lo and behold - it wasn't so bad!! Tim said that he really likes working with endurance type athletes because they come along very quickly. But one week? Maybe he was easier on me this week - whatever it was, I'll take it. Now if I can just get my hiney in there the second time on my own!
