She-Ra is NOT Invincible. . .who knew?

So. . .I felt like a champion having completed my first (of many more to come) half marathon but here I sit five days later and my ankle is still swollen. No I haven't gone to the doctor. Yes, I've iced it (even took an ice bath--brrrrrr!) and elevated, etc. etc. etc. It's not hurting so I've continued working out. It's not as puffy today; maybe that means it's getting better.

Dude! I put together a new circuit and I LUV it! It focuses on upper body, back and core. I haven't come up with one for the lower body yet, mainly b/c I run/walk frequently and do my leg strengthening exercises. Anywhoo, try it and give me your feedback. I did my bicep work with 15lb weights and felt like THE WO-MAN!! (hee hee hee)
