Post Cabin Fever Workout

For anyone unfamiliar with Raleigh, we get snow here maybe once a year. When it does snow people lose the freakin' minds don't handle it well. Some people rush to the store and stock up on enough food to feed a small army for a month, and other people decide that they should go out and play because they own a 4WD SUV. By play, I mean drive 60 mph because, you know, they have a FWD SUV, so it is best to stay off the road while these people are finding out that their SUV's steer like the Titanic when they are on a solid sheet of ice. To cut down on the mayhem, most businesses shut down with the first flake of snow, which is true for the Y I use.

Therefore, I was unable to workout for the last two days. Yes, I could have done something around my apartment, but I've had a few nagging strains that really needed to be rested, so I tried to treat this weekend as a needed respite. The Y Reopened today at 9am, which was not a problem because I didn't need to be at work until noon due to road conditions. Actually, my office is 5 mins.from my apartment so no worries! The key to Locker 29 was firmly in my hand by 10am, but all of the morning classes were canceled, which meant that I would be flying solo again today. Not really a bad thing when you consider I felt like this: http://croneandbearit.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/large_slug2.jpg

This workout took me around 40 min. and was good for a first day back. I really needed this to keep feeling good about myself. Two days off is just about all I can handle without becoming an emotional washcloth getting into a funk. It feels good to have one under my belt. I am not sure what time the gym will open tomorrow, but I will more than likely do another solo workout tomorrow.
