I let my stretches and such slide a bit while I was in Montreal this past weekend: in particular, I did no elbow stuff. Also, I climbed more stairs than I do here at home. But it all seems to have worked okay, and today I did a pretty thorough workout, despite being short on sleep (we got home late because of weather problems at LaGuardia Airport, and then it took me a while to fall asleep).
