I’ve worked out for 1 day before today. Last thursday was my last day of working out before today. Not because of laziness, but for the simple fact that I couldn’t walk let alone run. I was as sore as I had been since my days of high school lacrosse. It was at that point I realized:

1. I was getting old as I realize that was years…years ago
2. The importance of stretching

I didn’t realize how important stretching was until I couldnt walk for a few days. Soreness kind of puts a perspective on you…

But today is a new day and this is a new week…so I was back in the gym. I did a quick 15 minute stint on the eliptical machine…which is one of the weirdest machines. I’m not exactly sure if I was doing it correctly…but I worked up a sweat and I felt accomplished. So I’m going to say it was a positive.

But as I was running I could feel the cold hard stare from the treadmill I injured myself on. The treadmill was taunting me…as I hobbled on to the eliptical machine…but no matter. One day I will be back on the treadmill to reclaim my domiance over that rubber track.

Until then I’m staying my black as$ on the eliptical machine and the bike…here’s the Daily for Aug 20th.
