Return to the gym!

I've been wanting to get back to the gym for over a week now.  I made it back today.  Since I was still a little weak from my cold and from being away for over a week, and also because I didn't want to trash my legs for my long run tomorrow, I dropped back on my weights a bit.  That is a very hard thing to do mentally.  I always want to improve and increase weights, but practically, that's not necessarily the best thing to do.  It's not like I went back to barbie weights.  After 1:10, I feel great.  I did get dizzy quite a bit during the deadlifts.  I paused a bit every 5 reps so that I wouldn't go overboard and faint.  My heart rate only made it up into the 160s, but I was sweating like crazy and definitely pushed it.

It looks like a beautiful day today.  I'll certainly be outside as much as possible!
