Memphis's birthday party was great. We ate a lot of watermelon and rode dirt bikes. Memphis crashed and came to me dripping blood. He wouldn't even shut off his dirt bike. I ran for bandages, doctored him, and he spun away. After the last lap, he rode toward the garage, hit the edge of the sandpile and flipped off his bike and into the ground on his head. He howled through his bath. The poor kid. What a way to end your birthday.

I'm speaking to our LUW group tonight about blogging. If you live in Cache Valley, please come. It's 7:00 at the Logan Library. Amber Smith, the president, said she'll bring cookies - I guess whatever she has to do to get people to listen to me!
I need help. If any of you have reasons why you read a certain blog, please e-mail me - camichecketts@yahoo.com. I'd love to have some quotes from those of you who flag and faithfully read blogs other than mine. We all know you read mine because it's so entertaining.

Here's tomorrow's workout.
Warm-up and cardio - 5-45 minutes - I've read research that states you should do cardio after strength training for maximum caloric burn. I'm sure there will be another study that disproves that next week, but it might be worth trying. See what works best for you. Sometimes after I lift I'm so tired my cardio isn't very effective.

Step and squat - squat narrow, straighten, squat wide to right, repeat middle and left - 20-24 reps
Slow squats- squat down for four and up for six - can hold weights or use a Smith machine if you like - 12-20 reps
Squat and leap - squat down, then leap towards ceiling - 10-12 reps
Side lunges - 12-14 reps on each side
Clock lunges - start with right leg, lunge to a pretend clock - 11 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 7 o'clock - then do the same pattern on the left leg - 6 reps on each leg
Slow stationary lunges - down for four, up for six - 8-10 reps on each leg
Dead lifts - 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Glute presses - 12-20 on each leg - can use cable, band, or nothing.
Cool-down and stretch
