To much too soon

Oops! I have to admit, I push myself a lot harder than I should and I always get in trouble! Today is one of those days!

I figured I would go to the gym a little early today and try to get my heart rate up some by getting on the recumbent bike.  I figured it would be gentle enough and it would get my heart rate up a little.  Little did I know how bad it would hurt! I figured I would be able to do 30 minutes without any issues.  My hips, my knees and even my ankles weren’t having it! So I listened (after I tried to push a little longer) and I got off and headed down to the pool.

I did 40 laps today, but not all of it was pool walking, there was a good amount of doggy paddling going on!  It took over an hour, but I felt relaxed when I was done.

This is finals week and that is always a difficult time.  This quarter was one of those quarters that I really wish I could have hidden in my bed the entire time.  Things worked out well; I took three classes, one was purely online, one was on campus once a week and the third one was my capstone project so I only had to meet with my professor every so often for updates.  My online prof was very understanding when I needed an extension for an exam; she said I need to focus on getting better.  My on campus prof knows my issue and I only missed two or three classes.  My capstone prof… I sent him an email letting him know what was going on and he was fine with me sending him emails letting him know my status.  Tonight is the last night of the quarter and I am not stressed out! I had both of my projects printed over the weekend, I took the smart route and brought it to a printer and had them print and crop it so all I had to do was put the final bits together.  I submitted my final exam yesterday for my online class, so I am done!  I am getting so close to graduating which is a MAJOR relief!
