Rec Center Log, Day
Yesterday was our first day using the Rec Center. The plan was to spend an hour circut training and an hour swiming. Unfortunately we got off to a rocky start.
We arrived at the center ready to get to work on getting fit. I choose a weight/resistance training machine at random and we got to work. Things were going great at first. My body was remembering what it could do, and I was remembering (painfully) that my glute was still injured. We moved from machine to machine, working legs and abs untill we got to a lat press machine. That's where Rick remembered (very painfully) that the lats are connected to the neck muscles that were seperated durring his surgery. Ouch! Needless to say, no more upperbody work for Rick for a while. We did what we could, with my sore tookus and his sore neck and decided that it was time for a swim then a soak in the hot tub.
Rick went out to smoke first (he sooo needs to quit), and I hopped on the treadmill while I waited for him. Normally, I can do a 17 min mile at a 2% incline; sadly my butt injury forced me to do a 20 min mile at a .5% incline, and I only got a half mile in before my leg was screaming in pain.
At that point, Rick came back in and I was ready to hit the pool. But danged if the pool wasn't closing in 5 mins for cleaning and the hot tub was already closed.
PFFFTTT! Damit people, don't they know I'm trying to exercise here. The least they could have done was post it on the pool schedule or the front door or something! ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!
Oh well, there is always today!
Wish me luck.
P.S. Not only does my ass hurt, but so do my abs and my biceps. I guess I did something right. :o)
