breakfast with shaun t.

yes, i'm still doing it. i took saturday off to spend with my livestrong elliptical; sunday was max conditioning; monday - max recovery and today was the max interval circuit AGAIN (this one, i hate - my body cannot leap off the floor then get down into a push up that quickly). the recovery day is by far my favorite.

my new shoes arrived today - yay! i had been rotating between reebok running shoes and nike free running shoes. both gave me blisters and the nike frees had me slipping on the wood floor in puddles of sweat. these are new balance minimus trail running shoes and they're brilliant. hopefully they won't do me wrong.

i'm just not feeling the funny today. but the insanity disclaimer is amusing: INSANITY is an extreme and physically demanding workout. this is NOT for beginners or individuals with any medical condition that may be compromised by extreme cardio and strength exercise. Consult your physician and read the enclosed materials before beginning this program. 

isn't "insanity" a medical condition itself? this disclaimer makes me think perhaps i should not be doing it. i can barely lift my arms above my head; i even hurt when i'm sleeping.

today i'm the grumpy dwarf.
