Beachgirl! WTG on getting back on track!

My usual 3 mile walk today. Actually, I did a little more since I had to park in a different place...someone overslept and didn't get the parks gate open at 7, lol. I was going to add a little more time anyway and this did it.

WTG everyone!

34 mins on the treadmill (300)
LBWO (120)

Went to the gym in the evening instead of the morning today. I thought I had to take the day off because I had to spend the morning scrubbing the residue of my fire from the kitchen walls, ceiling and cabinets instead of going to the gym. But I was sitting at my desk around 6pm feeling gloomy, and it occurred to me that I could be working out instead. Hooray! My knee felt a bit dodgy though; it's slightly swollen. I ran anyway, and did ballet squats and lunges, but I couldn't manage my hack squats. I'm petrified of blowing out my knee, so I tried to be careful.

More cheerily, I did 100lb deadlifts today!

A banner day all round, knee and excess cleaning aside, and now I get to eat dinner!

1 hour playing tennis. Unfortunately, it was punctuated by the homeless man who camps in bushes behind the fence by the tennis courts, watching us quite obviously, talking to himself, and eventually, escalating to name calling and threats (i'm going to <bleep>ing kill you, you <bleep>ing <bleep>, you <bleep>ing wh-re, what the <bleep> are you looking at, <bleep>ing <bleeps>.

This produces a moral issue for me. On the one hand, i realize that people who are homeless often have mental health issues or drug problems that are a contributing cause to their homelessness. On the other hand, I'd really like to be able to play tennis without someone watching, making threats, who knows where I live at least in general terms (the tennis court is at my apartment complex), and the guy has a camp set up there, so now I'm going to wonder if he's watching for me and it makes me really uncomfortable.

Le sigh.

Does your complex have security Amanda? I'd like to say he is probably harmless...but..NO! He has already caused you harm! In my prayers that he goes away!

I hope you go to the office and file a complaint. Isn't it private property? I'm sorry. It would make me very nervous as well. I understand how you're feeling.

I didn't work out this weekend (slapping hand) but got in a good hour of aerobics/kickboxing and ab work. 45 min. of Turbo Jam's Cardio Party 2 and 10 min. of Ab Jam.

Angie had a conference this morning, and wasn't able to take Reba and Rylee on their 3 1/2 mile walk/run, so I skipped the treadmill work out and took them on it instead. Got my walk in and saw a beautiful morning
