Dr. Sears Tip:

"Exercise is not only nature's smart drug, it's also nature's Prozac. By stimulating the release of endorphins, exercise beefs up the body's own "feel good" hormones. Endorphins are most stimulated by exercise and laughter. And the good-feeling effects of these hormones last about as long as a pill, four to six hours after exercise, and without the unpleasant medical side effects. Therapists have long prescribed exercise to pull people out of the pits of depression. So, exercise not only burns fat, it burns stress, too."

Back workout:

15 x 10 x 3

lat pulldowns
45 x 10 (behind head) + 5 (to chest)
45 x 10 (bh) + 3 (fr)

Listened to Merlin Mann podcasts for first mile and a third, switched to music for last bit.

Workout was less than joyful, but coming off a layoff, I've had worse.
