Ok. I’ve been checked out for a while. This whole hurricane thing kind of freaked me out a little. I’m happy to say that at least in my neighborhood, there was no noticeable damage. A few small tree branches fell, the Dunkin Donuts almost ran out of coffee, and I have serious cabin fever, but other than that, we’re all ok.
One of the upsides to Irene and being stuck inside for three days was it gave my hamstring some time to rest. It’s hard to rest your hamstrings since I kind of use them everyday for walking. Even though it’s feeling a lot better, I’m going to lay off the running for a while. My friend actually gave me a REALLY good idea. Since I seem to keep getting the same aches, pains and injuries over and over, I’m thinking I really need to do some strength training to address some muscle weakness and imbalance. But how the heck do I even do that? I don’t know the first thing about strength training. Enter Andrea, who reminded me that there are wonderful people out there called personal trainers whose job is to teach you how to weight train properly. Now, I don’t have a ton of money, so I’m going to wait until I find some sort of special or coupon (I know they have lots on sites like LifeBooker). If anyone sees anything good for New York City, let me know. I’m looking to get buff!
