Slogging Through
Didn't manage to DDR yesterday - I conked out on the couch soon after work. I was hard-core exhausted and I shouldn't have been. Suspect I'm fighting a cold.
Today made myself DDR. It was seriously rough. 20 minutes in and I felt like I had given all I had, but I managed to press on. Raised my rating on Love Shack from AA* to AAA*. I mixed up play a lot and went back and forth between the easier "Difficult" songs in DDR for PS3, which toss in a fair amount of half-steps. I blew many but passed every song I tried with at least a B. I feel it was a harder workout but didn't check my heartrate until I was done, at which point it was 110ish. Managed to do all that hopping around despite my lower right back twinging and my right hip feeling really bad (I was sitting in my desk chair too long - and the gas cylinder has failed so I was almost on the ground in a weird sprawled position; I blame the chair for my back too. What a waste of $280.)
Anyway, got my 30 min in, actually a few more, I made myself do one easy cool-down song to go a little longer.
