Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body

So I had an hour session with Carolina last night.  One hour of all upper body! After a half hour my arms felt very heavy and like they weren't going to work anymore.  The third set of reps started to become half the number of the first set.  I'm pretty sure it appeared to Carolina that I wasn't moving when I was doing my girl push ups, but I can promise you I thought I was and it certainly felt like I was! SIDE NOTE: I haven't been doing any sort of strength training. Bad, I know!  I am basically starting from scratch here.  She suggested I try and start doing some of the exercises we do at home, so I don't keep starting from scratch every Wednesday.  I interpreted this as a nice way to say, "WOW! You need a lot of help!" I somehow finished the hour work out with her and then did 45 minutes on the elliptical machine.  Driving home from the gym it hurt to drive.  It hurt to wash my hair, etc. I really thought that I would be in a world of hurt today! While I'm pretty sore, its not unbearable! I hope that doesn't come tomorrow!

There was a woman at the gym with a t-shirt on that said "PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY".  Love it!!

Anyhoo...Right after work I'm hitting the gym to run 3 miles and then I get to go home and relax! School was cancelled tonight! YIPPEEE!

Be safe if you have to be out on the roads!
