Excuses
I can honestly say I may have the silliest excuse Terri has ever heard for not working out. I woke up this morning with every intention of getting in my 4th day workout. But I woke with a throbbing thumb! I’m pretty sure there is a splinter between my finger and the nail. Something is definitely there! I spent an hour trying to find it. But I gotta tell ya.. poking a needle deep between the finger and nail is a very scary thing. While I was not able to locate the source of my pain and swollen thumb, I poked a couple of holes in it and relieved some pressure.
So.. I ran out of time this morning and missed the workout. The funny thing is that I was actually up and dressed and heading to the kitchen for breakfast when I let my self get side tracked.
Fortunately, I still have another day this week to slip the workout in.
Changing the subject.. Last week my husband and I found a city park with various workout stations sprinkled around the jogging track. Amongst them was a pull-up bar! I’ve been wanting to find out if I could do pull-ups, so this was a great opportunity. Amazingly I was able to do 5 pull-ups!! Of course.. I didn’t do them consecutively. I rested about 45 seconds between each one. But that’s still pretty good. :-)
