Antibiotics rule. One dose of Cipro, and I swear that the clouds of illness were swept away and rainbows started to arc across my mental landscape.

Okay, I exaggerate.

I do feel scads better, though, and will even brave the fitness room tonight for some long overdue sweat time. I hate missing workouts. I’m not going to go turbo today because I have to attend the two day NASM Optimum Performance Training workshop here in Orlando for the next two days. From Kyra’s description of the proceedings, I will get a decent amount of pain from the workshops without adding my own spoonful of self-inflicted DOMS to the menu. I do hope they make us do push-ups to failure. That could take me a while. :slappy:

The workshop is being held at a location less than 6.5 miles away from my home, so I’m feeling pretty lucky considering that Kyra had to drive several hours to reach her workshop site. My exam location is only 20 minutes or so away as well. Orlando, while lacking in certain cultural areas compared to larger cities, does have its perks.

I’ll report on the workshop tomorrow night.
