Wednesday 5/25: I worked out today--did you?
I jogged 3 miles today, and then did a short stint in the weight room (for upper body).

I am battling some tough times right now, and I'm hoping these endorphins are going to get me through the depression that inevitably comes when I am overwhelmed.

Of course, if the sun would show itself, that might help too.

1. I've been slacking.
I haven't seriously exercised since Saturday. My shin splints have been acting up the last couple of days. They are feeling a little better today but I'm not sure if I should run on them yet.

I got my upper body workout videos yesterday and I was quite dissappointed that they are VHS. I thought I had ordered DVD! I went ahead and picked up some dumbells and an exercise mat.

I think I'll do some serious stretching today and possibly do the workout video IF I decide not to bother with sending them back in exchange for the DVDs.

I'm considering going to a store that specializes in Runners and get fitted with some new running shoes just to see if that helps. Although, I suspect that in my rushed schedule, I simply haven't spent enough time stretching.

6. Oh no!
I feel bad for you receiving the VHS instead of DVD. Did you order through the links I gave you? If so, Collage Video has an excellent customer service reputation, so I'm positive they'd let you exchange without much hassle.

Good luck!

I'm sure it was an oversight on my part. I'll get it worked out.

2. Here's hoping those endorphins kick in!
I worked out this morning. Step aerobics, lower body weights & yoga. Boy does my butt hurt.

5. I walked
for 60 minutes. I hurt my shoulder yesterday and generally don't feel well so I am going to take it easy.

8. I've missed logging in here for a few days.
Time to get back up to posting speed...

I DID work out today. I ran in the morning, and I got my gym workout this afternoon (back/lats day).

10. It's tough to exercise on a cloudy day, it just zaps all motivation
I worked bis, tris, and forearms today.

12. That sucks
days of constant rain kill my motivation to do anything. That is also when I break down and order Chinese takeout on a cut.
