OK…  I didn’t work out for almost 2 weeks.  I had an overdue deadline at work and lots of pressure to get it done.  I got up at 4am for many days in a row and worked until kid pickups and then back to work after dinner and the weekend in between.  Whew!  I got it done last Friday and had a nice weekend and even went on a bike ride with Brock and his friend Kiernan.  I am back now!  I worked on a machine called a “Total Body Cross Ramp” yesterday which felt awkward at first but I actually liked it by the time I was done.  This machine kind of simulates running up a ramp but you can also go in reverse which feels like you are running backwards.  As you probably know, running backwards is very difficult and is a great workout if you do it for a while…  I did the last 10 minutes of my 45 minute workout backwards…  Today I did the Elliptical for 50 minutes but totally wanted to stop after 10 minutes.  I did not feel good and was dreading the next 40 minutes….but then some good songs came on the headphones and I started feeling good and by minute 30 I was in a groove like I had not found before.  I felt like I could pull a tractor across a football field.  What a great feeling and I kept it up until the end…  I will keep working this week and next…  Cheers and GO BRUINS!!!!
