Last week was a paltry week for exercising. How did I know that tetanus shot would leave me feeling so compromised? Oh well, you roll with the punches and do the best you can.
I finally made it to yoga on Sunday morning. My shoulder left me feeling a bit weak, but I was glad to finally make it to a class after 8 days. I felt very tight and inflexible but I still sweated my brains out!

On Monday, I was one of the fortunate few who had MLK day off. I took the opportunity to sleep in, take care of some long standing chores on my to-do list and get in a long and vigorous session at the gym.
