I'm Still at It!

Oooooh, look at me -- still working out on a regular basis! It was a little bit of a struggle to get myself to the gym, but knowing how good I'd feel afterwards got me moving. And I did feel sooooo good after that workout!

I'm doing 15 minutes cardio and the rest weight training -- and I've already bumped up the weights on some exercises, and for others I'm noticing it's getting easier! Yay! My nemesis are lateral raises though! Ugh! Seeing some improvement, but not as much as I'd like!

And overall, I'm just feeling really good -- my back seems straighter, it's easier to get things off a high shelf, that sort of thing.

Terry Fox: Today is the 25th anniversary of the death of Terry Fox. Terry Fox is a Canadian icon for his Marathon of Hope -- he wanted to run across Canada to raise awareness for cancer, after losing a leg to bone cancer. You can read more here: Terry Fox's Legacy of Hope. He started his run on April 12th, but never finished it: on September 1st, he was forced to stop his run and afterwards it was discovered that the cancer had spread to his lungs. There's a Terry Fox run every year in September, and this morning I was thinking of participating. Don't know if my knee would hold out for a 10K walk though! If not this year, then I'd definitely want to do it next year!
