Baby Steps, Baby Steps...

ellyssianWoke up early (or on time, depending on your POV and attitudes on mornings in general) and got in a little work out. Breathing is so much better today than it was yesterday morning, that I didn't realize exactly how bad it was - this, comparing first-thing, stil-in-bed breathing. Air actually got to visit my lungs, whereas yesterday *I* wasn't even sure I was actually breathing at certain points.
So, anyway, while I had high hopes for a full workout - which still isn't all that much, because it's a ramp-up deal, and with all the false starts we're still at a relatively entry level. In fact, for all those false starts, we've been able to just pick up at the previous level without dropping back. Not today, though. Justin plugged on with the full thing, while I did basically the stretching stuff - and not all of it - and very few reps of a handful of other things. I did manage a complete set of one of the qigong bits. We only do two of them at this point, so it's not much, but after one I realized not only could I feel a benefit, but that if I attempted the second one I would probably need an ambulance on hand or something. Pitiful, but baby steps, baby steps...
Justin is going to take the first of his PSSA tests today, so I'm hanging out a bit before heading in slightly late, to see Rachel off on the bus.
