Kickboxing Today and Boot Camp Tomorrow
Today I continued with my 4-Day Split rotation with the 4-Day Split Kickbox Plus Legs & Core workout. I love that one, though my back is hurting a bit now for some reason. I'm really enjoying the 4-Day Split workouts in general. I also think I'm feeling much better because I was bouncing around the house today like I do when I'm feeling well. Going from room to room I caught myself skipping a bit or hopping and dancing around the kitchen while making dinner. I've been tired and sick for so long that I forgot what it was like to feel this way. I haven't heard anything about my bloodwork I had done last week, but I'm guessing it's normal--since they're more likely to call you soon if there's a problem and since I am feeling so great. As I was jumping around the house, I thought, "I kind of hope I've got Boot Camp scheduled on the rotation tomorrow since I feel like leaping around." Sure enough, that's what is planned for tomorrow's workout. It's really unusual for me to desire to do a drill/bootcamp sort of workout; I much prefer step aerobics or kickboxing for cardio, so I hope I still feel the urge tomorrow. Also, Boot Camp includes working biceps & triceps, and I love pumping iron for my biceps.
As for other physical issues, I've decided the way to get through my workout without being distracted by my Rice Krispies crackling knees is just to turn up the sound on the TV. They don't bother me so much if I can't hear them. Of course, I'll be visiting my orthopedic surgeon on Friday to ask about them. I don't think there's anything specific he will do for me at this time, since they are just noisy and not painful, but I thought I could at least ask some advice about it.

My Wonderful Shoes
These are the awesome new shoes I got myself for Christmas. They are Ryka N-Gage Studio Mid shoes. I ordered them from Walking Sue on eBay for a great price.
They are slightly higher on the ankle than my other athletic shoes, but I'm getting used to that already. I love how supportive and bouncy they feel. They also fit beautifully. I was a little unsure because I'd heard you should order Rykas one size up from your usual size, which I didn't, but they are a perfect fit in my regular size. Also, they're black. I like darker athletic shoes, I guess just because I wear a lot of darker athletic clothes, particularly black pants, so I like the look of black shoes as well. I plan to buy more Rykas in time (perhaps some new running shoes or something).
Seriously, these are awesome shoes. On days when I'm tired, they help motivate me to get moving. I say to myself, "Ooooh, I get to wear my new shoes!" Sometimes I am such a girl, I know.
