My God, I do not want to leave the couch for the foreseeable future. I’ve been reading online about taking time off from working out and I think I’m going to let my muscles rest for a solid week. How can it hurt? This morning I did 30 on the elliptical, ran for a mile, and absolutely collapsed. A couple days off doesn’t seem to make a difference. I need a week. You know that whole “listen to your body” thing? Well, it’s time to listen to my body, which is kicking me in the balls (I know, awkward metaphor) in an attempt to get me to slow down.

So what did I do today? Not much. Sat on the couch. Worked on email. Went to Costco and the library. Ate a lot.

M leaves for NY tomorrow, visiting her mom and a dying uncle. More later.
