Yikes sage- sorry about the back. Do you ever swim? Works wonders.
32 laps for me this morning- speed intervals and I had to stop because bad leg cramps struck again. Very frustrating. I hope to find time to go back this afternoon and finish up.

ran/walked 7 miles. Mostly walked. Thought it was going to rain, instead it was just REALLY hot and humid. I almost died. Damn weathermen.

Made it back to the pool just in time before the thunderstorms and knocked out another 18 laps. The cool and unexpected part is that I did not need much warmup at all before doing speed work- it seems that the big warmup this morning was still giving a benefit hours later.

It only counts if you washed the roof too
That is the one thing I hate about washing my Tahoe. I only wash it every 3-4 months anyway, but I have probably only really done a thorough job on the roof 2 or 3 times since I bought the thing.

1 hour of racquetball followed by a killer 30 minute full body workout with my trainer. Anyone else ever done one-legged squats? I got my introduction today, and I am some kind of sore- the good kind.

Only when I was working as a trainer. And then only when I was either demonstrating them for a client, or if I was in a train-the-trainer session and one of the other trainers was making me do them.  They are brutal, and I never have been really good at forcing myself to do something that wasn't at least a little bit fun!

Is this where you roll back from standing position and then roll forward and get up on one leg? My trainer had me doing these-very difficult and it hurts!

Pretty much. What I had to do was stand on one leg and then SLOWLY (I started off moving too fast and got fussed at to move slow) go into a seated position onto a bench about 18 inches off the ground and then immediately- and slowly- come back into a standing position all the time on one foot. The first few were not bad, but doing 40 per set was rough.
srmom- paying the membership is step 1. I paid 2 years at my place while traveling even though I never went, but once I got the incentive to get myself back in shape- it was there and waiting. 6 months and almost 60 pounds off later I don't even wonder why I waited. I am just happy I finally got it together.
Today I did 10 miles of hill intervals on an exercise bike and it was a pretty good workout on the upper legs. Followed it with a long walk to cool down. Hand is healing faster every day, and I look forward to tearing it up in the pool next week. I am tired of running!

Just reading your description makes my legs hurt.
Took a leisurely walk today and did a bit of light gardening. It was gorgeous out today - the type of day when you want to call in "sick". (I'm working p/t right now, so I was off today anyway.)
srmom, nope, paying your gym membership doesn't count until you actually go and work out. I've thought about joining a gym, but instead I set up my own home gym - stationary bike, elliptical, weight machine, hand weights, a couple of exercise DVDs, and a good pair of walking shoes. Home gym = no excuses.
