jianantonicI feel like I get better workouts when I regularly blog about them. Today I ran a mile for warmup, did some random weightlifting, though all my muscles were screaming, and then did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I'm hoping that if my legs are feeling more sturdy tomorrow, I can run another 5k. We'll see.
The big milestone today was that when I did some weight stuff where I supported myself on my hands, I just tested my wrist a little...and no pain! I still feel twinges when I bend it certain ways, and I'm nowhere near ready to trust all my weight on it, but the fact that I could do a downward dog with my weight actually on my wrists (I've been bastardizing the posture by supporting myself on my fingers for the last year), without pain, was phenomenal to me.
I'm also reading a really interesting book called The Zombie Economy, written by two of my favorite radio personalities (one is a comedian, the other an economist). It doesn't really have much advice that I didn't already know, but it's put in such entertaining terms (the zombie apocalypse as an analogy for the recession). And it's making me think about some things. Maybe I DO want to stick with the company I'm working with...it's some good food for thought. I recommend it, even if your economic situation is totally healthy.
