It was raining pretty hard at 5 a.m. - so I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I took along my iPod and listened to the first in a new series of podcasts I downloaded called 'Confessions of a Runner.' I also watched a bunch of Dilbert Animated Cartoons podcasts.
Later - I enjoyed seeing some good leg and shoulder definition in the mirrors while running this morning and it pushed me to finally get back into my weights. Tonight I inflated my Swiss Ball and did an arm/shoulder/back/abs workout for an hour. (Also caught up on my Endurance Planet.com podcasts).
Tonight I also found my humidifier in the garage that I stored away after my divorce. I cannot get it running, so found a smaller humidifier and set it up in my bedroom. Since the heat has been turned on, my right eye has been drying out at night even with the ointment I put in at bedtime. I have a condition called repeated corneal adhesions (basically - the top layer of the skin on my eye gets torn off if it gets too dry). I am hoping this will allow me to not have to keep drops by my bed if I wake up during the night so that I won't have that wonderful ripping feeling.
