21:08, combined time in steam room and dry sauna
Yesterday was the kind of high energy day, which when combined with beautiful skies, just begs for a good run in the park. I ended up tossing my salad about halfway through, and my legs (still slightly sore) didn't have the energy to match my enthusiasm, but I finished the run I set out to do.
Today was gray and foggy. By the time I came home I found myself irritated and sapped of joy. Seth tried his usually successful tactic- feeding me, but I was still stressed out by the time we got to the gym so I decided what I really needed was some peace and quiet in a warm place- the steam room! It felt so good to just be still, no rush, nothing that needed doing. Just sitting and being warm. It helped immensely, I'm nice again.
Sweating is good for the body and soul, not matter what avenue you take to arrive there.

If I waited for DOMS to go away, I would never workout
178.1
15:00 rowing
2 sets lifting
Yesterday's swim (that I failed to blog) helped loosen up the extremely sore quads, but I woke up plenty stiff this morning. I knew that running or doing legs would not be wise, but I can't let DOMS stand in the way of working out, or I would never get anywhere!
Rowing only hurt my legs a little bit, so it was a good compromise. I had a good lifting session, although lowering myself onto the bench for the flys and chest presses involved a small bit of cringing.
I sure hope this soreness lets up, because its hard not to run on such pretty days, and tomorrow looks like it will be just as pretty.

Yesterday
175.0
Body Pump class
1 mile walk with our new dog
This morning
178.1
sore all over!
I decided to go try a new fitness class that my friend had been trying. Body Pump is a one hour class "that strengthens your entire body, using the best weight-room exercises like squats, lifts and curls." It was just the right level of hard for me, but I felt like I could keep up better since they were motions that I was (mostly) used to doing.
Judging from how sore I am this morning, especially in the quadriceps, I think this class helped me target some areas that need more attention. Gonna have to do this class again.
