Exercise in Frustration

Yesterday's trip to the gym didn't go as well as I'd hoped. My new crosstrainers are just fine--no more squashed toes for me--but I pulled a leg muscle early in my walk around the track. I ended up walking for about 30 minutes, but it hurt so much that I had to walk slowly, and my heart rate didn't really increase. My leg is feeling fine today, and I brought my gym clothes with me to work, but I'm debating whether I should try again tonight or tomorrow. Getting back in the habit of exercising has so far been an exercise in frustration.

In some good news, yesterday I got a book order I've been waiting for, and now I'm reading Charmed by Nora Roberts. I'm looking forward to reading Erin McCarthy's Houston, We Have a Problem (another book from the order), though I won't get to that until later this week.

In the meantime, wish me luck at the gym.
