Wondering if the workout blog is dead?

The workout blog is not dead...we all were just a little down and out with sickness and such.

I worked out for the first time in about a month on Monday (yesterday).
I just did a 1000 yd. workout...which was embarrassingly difficult.
100 swim
100 kick
100 pull
until I hit 1000 yds.
Yes, it was a wimpy workout but I'm still in recovery from a month of illness...ugh...a month...gross.

This morning I did 1 hour of ballet, difficult but I'm feeling a little more strength in my little muscles today.
This evening I tried out a workout a friend posted on pinterest.
It is called the 100 workout and goes like this:
100 jumping jacks
90 crunches
80 squats
70 leg lifts
60 jumping jacks
50 crunches
40 squats
30 leg lifts
20 jumping jacks
and a 10 minute run
I liked it because it wasn't hurl your guts out hard, just a good workout.
I took Rosie (our dog) on the 10 minute run.  I tie her leash to my waist and she quite literally pulls me up the hills.  She is the best running buddy, she literally pulls me faster when I try to stop.

So there you go.

Trying to get back in the swing of things, I think I might to a little yoga tonight to help stretch things out.
