With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Did two 30 min workouts on the elliptical in the am.

Walked the 2 miles after school got out. 

Less pain in the groin area this week.  Hoping to start running next week.

Two 30 min workouts on the elliptical this morning.  Then ball crunches and a few arm exercises w/weights.

Tomorrow is the student's last day at school.  I don't think any of mine are coming, so today is my last day with students.  They're leaving at 12, so one more hour!!!

My blog is starting to sound like a broken record.

two 30 min workouts on the elliptical.  crunches on the ball when I'm done.  It's a rut, but it's a rut I'll take over doing nothing.  At least this way I can get my heart rate up and sweat it out.

I hope the magic running fairy visits me this week-end and I can run w/o any groin pain. 

She's related to the magic ceiling fairy who always thinks I'm smiling when I'm upset.  It's because she's hanging upside down! 

Is school over yet?

Broken record..just a little longer version.

Did 2 45 min on elliptical this morning.  Slightly sore after, but I think better stretching could have helped.

Started elliptical and got somewhere between 10-15 min when the power cord on the back came out.  I just thought it was easier because I was getting so good at it! 

After I realized it was off, I did a 45 min session.  Didn't stretch.  Not really sore, but wish I would have anyway.

I really need a fan for the garage.  Even at 6 am, the garage has turned into a sweaty box.

Planning to hike like crazy tomorrow.  Hopefully I can sneak in a little run too.  I'm feeling like I'm ready to try a baby step for my running.

Got up and did 45 min on the elliptical.  Then did yardwork & housework.

We tried an afternoon hike.  Boy, 90 degrees with mid-day sun was killer.  We drank a lot of water! 

I still haven't weighed my bag, but I'm pretty sure it's around 30 lbs.

We hiked for 2 hrs 20 min.  About 8 miles.  It was good.  No groin pain, but my knee was acting up.  It seems like it's always something.  Next week, I'll use my knee band.
