Another Day, Another Sore Muscle
Today’s another busy day. The past two weeks have been a blur of work, recovering from my pinched nerve, and fitting in boot camp sessions when I can. I’m glad to have the extra work right now, but I am EXHAUSTED. This morning’s boot camp was particularly brutal — a session that started out with wall squats and planks, and then moved on to the dreaded building block exercise (I did 90 pushups. NINETY! although not in a row, thank christ). Oh, with an ab session sandwiched in there as well. Mmmm, sandwich.
Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve worked my muscles so hard that I literally couldn’t raise my arms over my head anymore. I am terrified about how I’m going to feel when I wake up tomorrow (and do it all again). Tomorrow I’m also driving to Virginia with Lisa to go see U2 in Charlottesville with some local friends. This long weekend — my birthday weekend, actually — is shaping up to be a lot of fun. I may not be able to lift my arms over my head, but I am pretty damn sure I can raise a glass to my lips.

Busy Day
I apologize in advance for lack of posting today. I have a hair appointment in 30 minutes and then some errands and then I have to buckle down and bang out an article. Talk amongst yourselves. What’s new with you guys?

Better
Since I got the meds from my doctor, it only took about 24 hours for my neck to get back to normal. Well, close to normal. It’s still a bit tight and sore, but I can turn my head now and everything! I even went to boot camp this morning. Push-ups didn’t feel so great, so I kind of blew through those. But I was able to manage everything else — and let me tell you, there’s no better way to be sure you’re engaging your abs during crunches than when you have a sore neck. Because if you do it wrong, your neck will TELL YOU.

Blast from the Past Music Video
The Waitresses, “I Know What Boys Like.” In honor of the late Patty Donahue. Boy, did I love this song. I thought it was so cheeky and it was “girl power” before we knew what girl power was.
