Last night we went outside - and jogged over to the IUPUI Stadium (well, I power-walked about half the distance - my knee doesn't much care for running). After a warm-up of jumping jacks and pushups we ran/walked the bleachers around the entire stadium. That doesn't sound like too much but man! I did run up the bleachers 2 steps at a time, but was too afraid to run down the steep stairs so I walked those - and I wasn't the only one to do that.
There was a territorial goose at the start/end of our circuit who wouldn't budge - so she must have had a nest somewhere close. It was a beautiful evening to exercise outside. I had come close to just skipping class and going home to grab my bike...but we only have one week left of this class.
After the stadium run came hill zig-zag/running on the side of a quite steep hill after several sets of creative standing lunges and body-squats. I've strong legs but they are a little toasty this morning. I've a workout planned for today but it will be upper-body only...
Something funny about the standing/walking lunges. We were actually on the side of the White River trail just behind the gym - and that time of day it is a virtual cyclist freeway. One older rider stopped his bike when he got to us, then walked his bike while doing lunges until he passed our little group![]()
