Workin' It

A few days ago when I was feeling down and depressed about my ongoing shin splint issues, I promised myself that I would continue working out.  Because last time I was sidetracked with my lame shins, I used it as an excuse to check out. 

Not this time.  Yesterday I got in a great yoga class which kicked my ass.  I was able to hold my planks a bit longer and lower down a bit slower so it wasn't this plop from downward dog to the mat and then right into upward dog.  And I'm fairly certain the room was a bit warmer, so I was sweating like a freak.  Okay, not that badly. 

Just now, I got back from a great bike ride around Santa Monica and Brentwood.  I was feeling a little lazy and wasn't planning on working out and then I just made myself get up, get dressed and walk out the door for a ride.  I know that I need to keep the cardio up and this was a great way for me to do it.
