Stronger than yesterday

A few weeks ago I was tooling around on Instagram when a personal trainer I follow (who had just run Boston) advertised that she was starting a strength class for runners. Last night was the first class and I liked it, so I signed up for the full 10-week series. I had been looking for something like this, so it was almost like serendipity. Here are the kind of things we did last night: 

Single-leg balances

Lunges

A little core work 

Drills with an agility ladder (hopping, 1 foot in 1 foot out, carioca...) 

Planks

A little weights work but mostly within compound movements (like squats and single leg step ups) 

I’m a little sore today but not bad. I intended to pair the workout with an easy run yesterday morning, which ended up being even easier because I had such bad chafing from Sunday I had to cut it off. (I need help because YOW that hurts.) But I’ll be running enough at camp later this week... 

I think this is really going to help, it was cheaper than hiring a personal personal trainer, and if I like this 10-week set I can sign up for the next 10 weeks after that. Finally, because my life is a decently rated sitcom, the trainer, who I had never met before, accidentally called me by the wrong name the whole class. I don’t say this to criticize because this is 100% the kind of mistake I would make, but I’m sure she was puzzled when she would call out instructions to me and I wouldn’t respond. Because I didn’t realize she was doing it... awkward.
