Two days off and lard days ahead if I don't do any exercise soon. So....I suddenly woke with my internal clock at 515am and headed for the gym.  Out my door by 528am. 

1 mile on track-- 7:57.  Was really thinking maybe these will be my last miles since my ankle feels no better. 

Cybex trainer varying heights and mostly 30 to 45 percent.  137 pace.  224 calories burned in 15 minutes.  That is A LOT!!!!

Then spin class.  At 20 minutes I was thinking I wasn't going to make it through...my legs got so fatigued.  She was making us do intense hill climbs and at one point I had to really push myself wanting to quit the whole class.  When I got to 30 minutes I was telling myself....YOU can do the 60 minutes, don't panic.  I was a sweating machine.  While I was on the cybex another spinner took my favorite spot in front of the fan so I didn't even feel the fan at all.  Much more intense this way.  There wasn't a dry spot on me, no joke.  So many hills!!

Cybex trainer 15 minutes.  Slower but pretty much the same routine as above.  218 calories burned. 

1 mile in 7:07.  Was going to leave cause ankle was not too happy and then I stretched just before stepping outside and decided to just go do it or I would be disappointed in myself (and I had thought this might be my last mile EVER!! NOOOOO!!!!!).  Felt good (besides ankle of course). 

Home in ICE STORM.  Drove Brooke and Amber to school.  Nearly slid off road.  Came home and lifted weights for upper body x 22 minutes then did abs for 6.5 minutes.  Went to chiropracter at 1030am appt.  Talus bone completely out and tendon swollen three times the size of my left foot.  He put it back in place and did ultrasound and laser tx to it as well as align my poorly aligned back/hips, heat, massage and electrical stimulator used. Also the board that stretches your lumbar vertebrae.  Hope this works.  Iced at home.  55 push ups with ball.
