Day 11: the day of the great flood

So, I live in nashville.  There were huge floods here in town today and everything was just weird.  Kids were weird too and with all of the rain my arthritis is very bad.  I hurt so severely in fact that I am not going to do Yoga tonight.  I'm also not doing cardio like I planned.  I'm going to take some pain relievers and go to bed.  Sometimes you have to know your limits instead of push yourself and I know mine.  If I try to workout with my body aching like it does , I risk an injury.  if I get injured...i won't be able to work out at all.  SO I"ll play it safe and be sure to stay tuned for my exciting post workout mind dump for Day 12...legs and back.  Oh how i adore that workout. <3
