In for some more soreness, I assume

Today I ran 1.5 miles before completing Stage 1 Workout B3 of the New Rules of Lifting for Women. The run went fine. I was starting to feel something in my bad knee, so I stopped at 1.5 miles. I didn't have time to run farther, anyway.

The lifting went fine. Lifting the bar for the deadlifts is giving me sore spots on my hands. I really need to get some lifting gloves. I don't care to get rough callouses on my hands from weight lifting!

I definitely maxed out my weight in the overhead presses. Those last couple reps were marginal and at my physical limit.

Today, I tried out my new cell phone as an mp3 player. It's an LG Rhythm. It worked very nicely. I used an arm band to hold it. The ear phone cord was slightly annoying while running, though. This phone has a microSD slot. I bought an 8GB card for it. Last night, I loaded about 900MB of Podrunner podcasts on it... a drop in the bucket! Nice. Although my other mp3 player is nice and small, the thing I like about using my cell phone is that it has a larger display. It's easier to select the podcast I want.

After my workout, I tried (for the second time) a scoop of protein powder in some Fage fat-free plain yogurt. Not bad at all! I have Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream whey powder. I saw some powders at the store that don't have artificial sweeteners. I think I'll try one of those when I finish off this tub. I just don't care as much for the taste of artificial sweeteners. So far, the yogurt is my favorite way of eating this stuff. I tried it in oatmeal and it curdled! Yuck! It makes milk taste funny and smoothies are ok, but take time. Then I have to wash the blender, which is a bit of a pain.
