Of the brain! I did a lot of work tonight. I could practically smell my little grey cells burning! Thank goodness for OCD behavior. I have no idea why I decided to check the calendar tonight. Because I was positive the final was Sunday! Well, no harm done.
I jumped rope this morning! I tell you, that is crazy exercise. Five sets of 100, I think. In between, I did squats (ten/set) and worked on my pushups. And I did them. My sets were 16/18/13/13/20.
I've made a decision, though. I'm going to do week 4 over. It was just such a struggle. I did it but I want to build up more strength. So I will be doing 7 weeks to 100 pushups!

You are nuts! But good for you.
I tried to run this morning but couldn't do it. Couldn't even go a hundred feet. Knee hurt instantly. This is now officially very depressing. I did walk the 2 miles or should I say I "limped" the 2 miles but that was it.
update: I went to the clinic later this morning and saw a Doc who thinks I have torn a ligament or pulled a muscle. Don't think I tore a ligament because I hear that is very, very painful and this isn't that bad. Pulled muscle is what I've thought all along. So, "wear this brace to keep it immobile and take it easy for a while." I paid big bucks for that? Apparently I did. I will keep icing it while I'm sitting down at the computer and hope it gets better soon.
OK!
1. There are many reasons you may think I'm nuts. Several highlighted in this post alone, actually.
2. Yep, that is depressing. I think you should seriously consider looking into a 30 day gym membership. Do the elliptical for 30 days. It is zero impact but great for the heart and mimics running.
3. Please tell me you at least asked for muscle relaxers! I want to see a picture of you in that brace. And I think you should at least consider wearing it to work. You would get amazing amounts of pity!
No I didn't ask for muscle relaxers! Should have I suppose. This is nuts though because now this afternoon it feels fine. Worked in the garden and was up and down and on my knees to think carrots and no problem. On the other hand, when I knelt down at the communion rail at church this morning I felt the pain right away! I'm planning to walk at least in the morning. I have grown accustomed to having that 30 minutes at the start of my day and I miss it. Angie is talking to me about the eliptical thing, too. Also Mom. So, I'll see how it goes. Going to the gym will require at least an hour I figure and I don't want to get up at 5:00 am like you!
Ha! Sounds like you have been subjected to about as much bossing around as a man can probably stand!
I know what you mean about the added time. Commute stinks!
I would miss it too. Boy, who are we! But the routine is a good thing. I think that between the self care you are doing and walking, you will be back to running soon.
Remember when you wanted the 5K to be over so you could be done!? We are different people now, both of us!
