Feeling the Burn
Can I start this off with an OUCCCCHIE?? No, not my ear, though I am going to the clinic to get it looked at, but my bodddday!! I really forgot the after effects that one gets after doing a step workout. Sure, I was rocking it yesterday and being all high and mighty at the fact that I could make it out of that workout alive. When I woke up today, I was raring to get to the gym. Got my Leprechaun green outfit on and went down to the usual place. I was feeling fine with no effects, and even though I was a bit late getting started, I managed to get to the gym with a good half hour left.
I decided to warm up on the treadmill..5 minutes at best, I still don’t like that machine because I find it really puts a lot of impact on my legs, even with NO incline, but for 5 minutes? Not a big deal. I did that and my laces came off my shoes..lovely-good thing I noticed before I tripped on them and fell on my face. I then sauntered over to the Eliptical with the rowing arms like I always do. As I was going onwards, I found that I was really running out of steam even after only 7 minutes. I felt tired and slow which was very odd because I normally get that way after a half hour!! I decided not to listen to any music today on the headphones because of my ear, so maybe that was a factor? Even though time was running short, I was done after only 16 minutes and really lethargic. Since I had about 10 minutes left, I thought I would do some weights. I hit 4 different machines, the ones for the biceps, triceps, lower back and abs.
Then it was time to go. Now I am REALLY feeling sore!!! I guess it comes from that step workout I did yesterday so non-chalantly. Even my arms hurt like poop…I should have done something a little lighter yesterday, ESPECIALLY since I had almost a week since my last workout. I never thought about it that way, so a basic Kathy Smith aerobic workout would have been smart…I only wonder what I will feel like tomorrow! Oy!!! That is ok, I am still going to make my way down there so I can do something..something is better than nothing right?
At this point, I don’t want to walk or move my arms because I feel like I ran a marathon…I can only imagine what it would be like if I actually DID run one of those suckers..I would probably call for a taxi with a box of Purdy’s waiting for me on the inside 
Tomorrow, is another day…I guess Scarlett O’hara got THAT much right!
