Day 41

Heeeeeeeeeeere's Rick... looking like a chipmunk.

It finally rained today. The last time it rained in my area was sometime in December. Granted, I've enjoyed the relatively nice weather, but my grass is looking a little brown.

That was one of the highlights on this mixed day. I went to the gym in the early afternoon with no problems. It was there while I was on the elliptical that I found out the Senate passed their version of the stimulus bill. To say I was against it is an understatement, and its passage may have contributed to the fact that my heart rate was higher than I would have like it while on the machine.

I got through the hour on the elliptical without any trouble. The problem started at the end of the hour - my legs were stiff as hell and sore. Last night I started weight training and my legs decided not to wait the customary 2 days for DOM after running the elliptical today. Needless to say, I skipped my evening gym session so I can give my legs a rest. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be better.

The other highlight of the day was getting some new tunes and some museum board. I picked up the new Devian CD, which is some wicked Swedish death metal. The museum board is for mounting my photos. It seems that I was out of 11x14 board. Exciting stuff...

Except those highlights were dampened by horrible traffic. I got home so late I just said "screw it" and ordered a pizza and a couple of salads for dinner. The local pizza shop has a killer balsamic vinaigrette dressing that I'm still trying to dissect. I've gotten down a good red wine vinaigrette myself, but balsamic is a different beast altogether.

So, at this point it is getting late and I need to wake up early in the morning. I bid all of you, my faithful and not-so-faithful readers, a good evening.
