With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Rest

First day of Unit 3 of p90x.  Week 9 is started and we're on our way to finishing up this bad boy.  Chest & back...push ups & pull ups, over & over & over again.

After work, went to physical therapy and learned some new ballistic stretches.  Then MR and I went for a quick run before dinner.  

early morning with plyoX and then a 6 mile run with neighbor.  We were out and saw the sun come up because it was later than when we usually run.  

After work the power was out, so we had to go out to eat :-)

I am finding it very difficult to scrape up the desire to do all the physical therapy exercises they've given me.   It's not just time, but desire.

p90x shoulders and arms, work, and 20 min on elliptical while dinner cooked in the oven.  I saw a beautiful sky this morning driving to seminary.  This pix shows just the beginnings of the magenta color that filled the whole eastern sky.  Beautiful!!

I woke up at 3 am so I could do my p90x yoga and run with my neighbor.  I did almost all the yoga (except the last 23 min of stretching), then we went for a run.  We were going to do 6, but she wanted to keep it short and stay in the hood.  She had blisters that were sore and icky on her feet.  We managed a 9:18 pace.  My garmin quit on me twice during the 4 miles.  I am really sick of it.

After the run, I finished the yoga stretching & yoga belly 7 times.  Then I took a quick 15 minute nap.  So nice.

Physical Therapy wore me out and made me sore.  They had me sweating like a pirate in church on Sunday.

After work and dinner Mr & I went for quick 1 mile walk around the loop.  In bed by 9 and asleep at 9:00:03.

p90x legs & back, then ab ripper x.  I'm almost done with week 9.  Glad it's Friday.  Taking the week-end easy since the Dirty Hog is next week.

I hope I can move after.

This weekend we went west to the Great Smoky Mountains.  MR, little buccaneer, and I went white water river rafting on Saturday.  The water was cold, but when the sun came out it was just perfect.  I ended up becoming one with the river on a particularly insane rapid.  But like any good pirate I was quickly back on the boat and swore vengeance on any crew member that mocked me.

After an amazing 12 mile and 2 hr 16 min trip down the river, we all had a nice nap on the bus ride back to the condos.

MR and I went for a walk along a bike path/trail around town totaling maybe 3 miles in the evening.  I had time for half the kenpo x before we left, and finished the second half at 9:45 at night.  Oh the things I’ll do for Tony.
