Today's workout went VERY fast.  I must have gotten caught up in the news because when I was figuring out how many sets I had left, I only had 4.  Usually, I still have a ton.  I felt good today.  Breathing was controlled and I felt in control.  My hips are super super super SORE today.  Both of them (usually it is just the right).  I hope this whole "changing form" this is just working muscles that haven't been used. 

I did one B6 at the end and was dripping sweat all over the floor.  NICE!

Great workout Toby. Glad you are getting back into the running groove.

Thanks Bec! I'm not sure I will ever be in the "groove" :)

NICE to have a quality workout that went by fast! It means you are getting stronger and better. Keep up the good work and the strengthening and balancing exercises!

Awesome! I love this Toby!! I hope those hips have relaxed a bit for you this afternoon.

From Toby on Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 17:49:04 from 199.101.229.254

Smooth...one day I will be as strong as you are!

RAD...I went to the chiropractor this afternoon and I can already tell a difference. Bless that man and the wonders he does on my hips!!!
