Ouch - Exercise Sucks

Started the new routine yesterday, 20 reps of anything seems insane. But there I was... 3 sets of 20 Squats, straight arm pull-downs, step-ups, bench, upright row, etc. I overestimated some of the weight on bench and the rows but compensated to get 20 reps.

Today was 30 min of running. I ran a 12 min/mile pace for 30 minutes, occasionaly with weights. I hate the treadmill, feel like a gerbil, but I saw this great Nike commercial featuring Lance Armstrong. The memorable quote from this ad is "kill the inner coward" but seriously, watch it:


Anyway, the Peru trip is still in its infancy but I think we've found a trip package that will work for us. I'm totally pumped about hiking the Inca trail. I see it as a perfect get away with adventure, challenge, beauty and history all rolled into one.

The family cruise seems to be "standby to standby" with the intent of going early May. Maybe I'm uptight, but when it comes to travel I light to get dates, times, places, cost, etc. all settled WAY in advance. Last minute stuff stresses me out.
