Too bad I seem to wake up earlier on the weekends these days than to get into work...
I had my last free private Pilates lesson with Joy at East Lakeview FFC on Sunday morning at 7:15am. I wanted to try and get my workouts out of the way so I could enjoy the day with Michael. For his birthday, I surprised him with tickets to "Big Fish" from the Broadway in Chicago series.
Joy is a coach and triathlete herself and she really knows how to help me strengthen and stretch out. She is signed up for Ironman Arizona for her second attempt this year.
Pilates is amazingly simple and deceptively difficult. I am always surprised what looks simple and easy and is incredibly challenging. She uses the reformer, Cadillac, and a variety of other primitive devices to help me strengthen and lengthen my muscles. Of course, after my ride yesterday, I was super tight in the hips, legs and hamstrings.
The exercise below was super hard due to my fatigued muscles!

Afterwards, I was supposed to swim for an hour- which actually probably would have felt good- however, I didn't want to have to wash my hair again for the show, so I thought I could bring myself to do it afterwards. No dice. We went to birthday brunch and then to the show and afterwards, I couldn't stay awake until 8:30pm! I was beat!!
