I planned on going to a difficult to find spot that I had tried to get to a couple of years ago and could not find. I ... http://www.down-to-the-core.com/wordpress/2005/06/24/heat-exhaustion/ After over a week of no exercise, the longest break this year, I’m back on the treadmill, to see if my feet can take it. Moderate workout, but at least I’m doing something. http://www.down-to-the-core.com/wordpress/2005/06/23/back-on-the-track/ The right toe is still hurting, although the bruising has cleared up. Sharp stabbing pains and numbness. Combined with my persistent achilles tendon problem, I’ve been walking lob-sided and with a limp, and now my back problems have flared up. No exercise for a week.

So from the five meals a day routine I’ve pretty much switched to eat when I’m hungry. Other than that, I do make sure to eat breakfast, and I try to eat something after I workout. The result ... http://www.down-to-the-core.com/wordpress/2005/06/05/payoff/ Injury It’s been a rough week. After my hike last Monday, I stressed myself so much I could not work out on Tuesday.

I got on the treadmill and after a few ... http://www.down-to-the-core.com/wordpress/2005/05/29/retrospection/ As expected I’m in bad shape, I can hardly walk up and down stairs and don’t know whether I can do any workout today. I’ve I had had my trainer with me yesterday, then I would have got a better walm down stretch out and mini-massage, which probably would have ... http://www.down-to-the-core.com/wordpress/2005/05/24/oh-my-the-pain/ I woke up without too much pain from yesterday, so while I was on a roll, I went on a hike.
