Whoever said, "No Pain No Gain" can SUCK IT! I was in a lot of pain doing the Plyometrics exercises today. I wussed out and only did some of the reps and ended the workout with about 18 minutes left.
When I woke up today, I was feeling the effects of the Chest and Back workout that I did yesterday. As the day progressed, I slowly felt more and more pain. It did not get better. I was hating the upper part of my body. (It didn't help that I was asked to help move some tables to set up for the Writing Center Open House.)
Anyway, I'm sure that my pain from yesterday was a huge factor in my not being able to complete today's workout. The Plyometrics exercises involve a lot of jumping, and I felt the pain from yesterday every time I moved. I realize, tho, that I would have had a hard time with those exercises even if I had not been sore because they were really intense, and I am not in the best shape right now. I don't think I have ever done exercises where I was required to jump! (well, other than jumping jacks...) Squats have always just been squats...never squats followed by a quick jump. I'm sure my downstairs neighbors were hating me for the 40 minutes that I was doing that workout today. There was nothing graceful about my landing! Nevertheless, I will be continuing this program and am also going to be working out with Michelle T/R at 6:30 a.m. I am sure that it will be a pain in the ass to start getting up early to workout again, but I am willing to do it for now. That was really the only time that Michelle and I could work out because of our different schedules.
On another note, I am still waiting to hear from all the law schools. I am not a very patient person, so this waiting is going to be tough. I just hope that I am not sitting around here waiting in April!
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I really don't care. I guess I'm so old already that birthdays are just an indication of how close death is. Maybe I would be more interested in celebrating if I wasn't so concerned with the direction my life is taking. I am going to be 33 years old, and I am starting a new career path. That is frakin' scary and just a bit insane! Ah, insanity! At least that is one thing about me that has not changed! :D
