http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/sunnica/31793 I don't know if I can keep up this pace. That can mean anything: this pace with my daily journal or this pace in my Volkslauf training. Today, it was circuit training --in a strength sort of way.&nbsp; It wasn't supposed to be a cardio workout, yet there was a lot of running involved. Yesterday, I felt something go wrong in my hip as soon as I returned to my car.&nbsp; Today, when I returned to my car, I could barely lift my arms to steer. Can you imagine?&nbsp; I get pulled over by the BPD because of erratic driving, but instead of&nbsp;a DWI, they issue me a...&nbsp; DW...L? (limp)&nbsp; DW...E? (exhausted) ********** Natalie, the new Southwest Voice editor was out taking photos today for an upcoming article, and I selflessly offered to take the pictures myself to allow her to join the exercising. She declined. ********** Today I realized that my strength is in my thighs. I can do any amount of climbing on or over anything, but ask me to do riceps push-ups, and I can do 2 of 10. Pitiful. Tomorrow is another cardio day.&nbsp; Leigh, the drill instructor, advised us to wear old shoes or to be prepared to get our shoes dirty. Mud will be involved. ********** At work, Teresa and I have a bet going for who can lose 10 pounds first.&nbsp; She is already 2.5 pounds ahead of me, but at this rate, I may beat her by Friday. &nbsp; &nbsp; I don't know if I can keep up this pace.
