Glad you had a chance to use the treadmill Erin. I often start to feel like I have lead legs when working out on our machine at home, but I point a fan right at myself and put it on high. If it's cold outside, I'll stop and stand on the porch a few minutes then go back to the elliptical. Is the gym air conditioned? Or do they have fans you could move to point right at yourself?

BBS,
It's really good that you have a pool for your workouts. That's just ideal for someone with MS especially. Sometimes I think about joining our local YMCA. It has an excellent gym and two pools, but it's expensive to join. It's also a 15 minute drive to get there. Maybe I'll win the lottery and we can put in an enclosed pool room for year round use.

I always feel better the day after exercising especially. I think it raises the endorphins.

I really need to do some today. Maybe a bike ride, because those muscles aren't sore and it's cool outside for August. I'll check back later to report my activity.

By the way, I feel extremely fortunate that I can exercise. There have been times when the MS wouldn't allow it or made it extremely difficult.

For all of you who struggle with this, I hope it's a passing thing.
