I actually made it through Ab Ripper! I mean I wasn’t able to do all the reps, but I had time to finish. Felt good about that. Especially since I’m thinking of moving to the next phase and that’ll have me doing Ab Ripper most days. Should be able to see improvements on performance with that schedule. There are some new ab moves that I really like and others that I find nearly impossible. Nice to be able to work on my weak spots.
Balance on my right side continues to be a challenge, but I’m doing much better than I used to and I feel great on my left side. I did experience some left wrist pain today that I couldn’t explain and it kept me from some of the medicine ball pushups to side balance; though I was able to get one on my right side without dropping my knee, so that was improvement. That was also a pretty awesome run on sentence. Oh, well.
Tomorrow I’m determined that my husband and I will do Yoga together. I kind of missed doing it last week. My wrist doesn’t seem to be bothering me, but then I’m not currently putting body weight on it. We’ll see what it thinks of chaturanga. An interesting side note, I used to feel that my left arm was much stronger and now I’m finding that my right arm actually feels better with higher reps. Perhaps this is due to having less range of motion in my left shoulder, or currently the wrist pain. Or maybe I’m becoming more balanced in my strength.
I’m signed up for a Warrior Dash in June. So, I’ll be needing all the strength I can gain. It’s only a 5k, but seems like it’ll be overall more challenging than the ½ marathon in May. If nothing else it will be more of a mental challenge. A Warrior Dash has obstacles along the course. So in addition to running just over 3 miles you also scale walls, cross rope bridges, slide down muddy hills, crawl under barbed wire, and jump over fire. I think it has a total of like 9-10 obstacles. Should be quite the morning!
