Observations
1- I experienced more pain while shopping at Safeway for one hour than I did running for 15 minutes and doing random calisthenics for the same amount of time.
2- I always feel like the more my blood is moving the less pain I experience.
3- My knees were tight before I ran.
4- My knees were not tight after I ran and stretched.
5- Tightness equates to some level of pain.
6- The absence of tightness equates to higher levels of painfreeness.
I really had fun working out today on lunch. It's so different than the Yoga workout, and I can't deny that I love it. Yoga is fantastic, but so are my old favorites. Even if it's in the gym for now. Later on I might migrate out to Gilman - but again. Patience and first things first. And if I am forced to do treadmill workouts, I may still have to find a way to budget one into my late 2009 plan somehow. Because I hate running with co workers amiss. They piss me off.
Especially mister arrogant runner guy that I work with. He's competitive and a jacktard. I was just praying he would be off the treadmill by the time I finished warming up on the elliptical. And to my good fortune, he was. He only said, as he left, "oh it IS you! Hi!" and that was it. It was downright pleasantry and nothing else behind it.
I was so relieved that he only passed on minute #4, and he didn't try and bug me or make any rude comments.
Thank the gods.
In other good news; I have re-partitioned my Acer 6930 (Jim commented that it has a 69 in it) - and am now in the middle of my new Ubuntu install. This makes me happy, because Ubuntu rocks the house.
