200 Year Old Woman!

I take my lunch to work and usually just eat at my desk and surf the web. Well, sometimes that gets a little old and I look for other things to do. I got this brilliant idea on Monday that I would just do some stairs during my lunch break to get a little excersize in and keep my energy level up! Not running them or anything, just walking up and down them. Well, I decided to start that day. Just before eating my lunch I changed into my tennis shoes and started walking up our stairs...I am on the 12th floor and I got to the 22nd and thought, this isn't too bad so I turned around and went back down to the 7th floor and went back up to mine. It was a pretty good workout and I felt good afterward. I was so proud of myself! Well, Tuesday morning I got up and my legs were pretty sore. I was kind of wobbling around all day and when I went to bed last night every time Peter would bump into one of my legs I would wake up. When I woke this morning it was so so SO much worse! I seriously have to wait a minute every time I get up out of my chair before I can move. I have to use my arms to support all my weight in order to even get up! :) (I am laughing while I am writing this b/c I just can't believe I did this to myself and it is so funny) I REALLY can't remember if I have ever been this sore. I don't think I ever have. Even after running like 12 miles (quite some years ago)! Anyway....the point of this story is basically to say that all day today I have been walking/wobbling around like a "200 year old woman." lol... Well, I guess this ended up being a not-so-Brilliant idea after all! :) I hope that my legs feel better soon so I get back to working out again.
