I cooked today's dinner last night, so I have been operating on 4.5 hours of sleep today. I got up and got everything in that I needed to do, but, after the stretching and light cardio, I had to make a trip to the pharmacy and to the store for my parents. Unfortunately the pharmacy, as has been its custom, has yet to deliver all of our prescriptions on time. I ended up being there about 40 minutes longer than I had planned. This threw a kink in the rest of the day for me. I have to finish up some more paper work for the folks (I am hoping that this will finish things up for them) and I was hoping that I could have gotten it done today. I will do it tomorrow morning after the stretching regimen and light cardio.

Today's stretching went very well. The arm and shoulder soreness seems to be isolated to only a small area, with only occasional sharp pains. I also must admit, that I've been so busy, that I forget to take my pain medication on a regular basis. It also testifies to the fact that everything is feeling better. Thanks again, everyone for the the encouraging comments. After the stretching, I went out and got in a good walk and a fairly fast "light" run, finishing it in 5:54. Over the next two weeks, I will work on getting my cardio stamina back. LOL! I haven't run 3-miles in well over a month! I'm going to be kicking myself during the first few of them.

Everyone, have a great week in and out of the gym. I'm to SLEEP to write more! LOL!

Here is what I did today: 

• stretching regimen
  
  
• 3 x 15 lateral arm raises with bricks
  
  
• 1-mile walk
  
  
• 1-mile run (6:22)
