whew! I did it, I walked 3 minutes worth of laps and lived ... sore tho ... out of breath by the end *grimace*
I think I just figured something out - back in the stone ages when I was a weight lifter, (yep for real) - there was a fairly instant gratification in it, there was a R*U*S*H* and it made up for any soreness and pain ---
there's no RUSH to this now - there's just soreness and pain and the gratifcation (being able to walk without pain) is way down the road out of sight -- and when I do exercises, I have to be careful to NOT overdo it or I'm too sore for the next 3 days, even just sitting .... that's HARD! I'm used to PUSHING myself and I can't now and I'm haivng a hard time finding the middle ground and I feel SO WIMPY just walking for 3 minutes and just doing 5 - 10 repitions of 2-3 exercises ... wimpy wimpy wimpy
