Jane Fonda hosted her first ever World Fitness Day at the Georgia Dome on Saturday, May 1. Its encouraging to see so many people looking to Get Out and Get Active! I hope this event grows even larger next year.

We spent the first part of the event demonstrating Balance Walking along with the Chung Shi Rocker bottom shoes-then it was down to the field for a fun workout with Jane Fonda, Denise Austin, Billy Blanks and Richard Simmons! Here’s a short video of the workout routine, and even a little bit of me attempting to keep up with Richard Simmons

Today was a tough workout consisting of 16 miles with a few sprints in between. My feet and legs were fatigued and tight afterwards, so I’m wearing the Chung Shi’s for the rest of the day to help elongate my calves and Achilles and make everything feel better. When I wear them in the car (where I feel like I spend most of my time), I like to rock back and forth from heel to toe.

Since I’m taking it easy, I started  my 9 mile run today at an 8:30 pace and dropped down to 6:40 at the end, and actually the 6:40 felt really comfortable.   Its an indication that I’m having a relatively normal day amongst the rest…we’ll see how it goes.

On one side, my calf is really tight- I attribute that to dehydration.  I have been so frustrated with my whole running situation that I haven’t been very good at hydrating.  Anyhow, I still attended my pilates class because I’m religious about that, and I’m still wearing my Chung Shi’s because I’m trying to relieve my plantar fasciitis.. I think I’m going to make a shoe change to back to something with a tighter seem around the arch.

I’ve stopped doing massage for the time being because the type of massage I do is very hard on the body and can act like a workout.  So instead of it having a loosening effect, it is contributing to my over-training.

Tomorrow my girlfriends are doing their long run so I might join them… but they are running a little slower so it shouldn’t take much out of my body.
