Rejiggering

I got to the gym earlier today but later than I wanted. Still, I had time to do cardio, core, some stretching, and a few minutes of stair climbing. But not enough time to indulge in any weight lifting, especially if I was going to take pups to the park to see their friends. Lately, no one shows up until 10:30, and going early means I just stand around in the cold while dogs get bored and chew on downed branches. Everyone in this group leaves by noon because we all have other things to do! 

I cut back a little on push-ups, and only do 10 minutes on the ClimbMill, but still, feel as if I'd gotten a decent workout. My left leg is feeling a twinge of sciatica, which is worrisome. Nerve pain in both legs would definitely suck. 

Going to the gym earlier makes better use of my time, but it's a lot more crowded with regulars gabbing at stations. Yes, they're masked and yes, they do sanitize their equipment, but I prefer an empty locker room when I change and shower. I time it so that the Aerobic class participants are already engaged when I'm done so I don't cross paths with them. I'm not paranoid, just cautious. If I was paranoid, I wouldn't even be at the gym. There are a lot of members who have paused their memberships. Not sure if they're in line for the vaccine yet although news outlets state that retailers will be able to provide it for the general public very soon.
