shanmonster: (Peeking)
We have an air conditioner! I'm hoping it's powerful enough to handle the apartment. I've shut the doors to the other rooms (giving me the hot office I'm used to), but the chinchillas now reside in cool air.

I vowed to get back up to snuff with my exercise starting on Monday, and so far, I'm doing well. I've been running daily. I did a lot better today than I did yesterday. Of course, I've also developed shin splints, so I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I spent more time warming up this morning before my run. Hopefully, that will do the trick and the tops of my feet and lower shins will feel much better shortly. I think I'll check out the Running Room and see if they're holding any free running clinics. I'm a shitty runner, and could really use some tips.

... Damn. They all cost money. Ah well.

Kung fu was good last night. We were working on Luk Sao (rolling hands), and for the first time, my shoulders weren't aching. It would seem that when my thighs and shins ache, that I don't carry tension in my shoulders and do the exercise properly. I ought to be in pain more often during kung fu! Ha!
