Day 58: What a day!

It was one of those nights where I finished my daughter’s nighttime feeding with 15 minutes to go before the alarm clock. After one snooze hit it was either get up or reset for 6am. Two days until pictures motivated me to get up. So glad that I did!

Today’s workout was Chest, Back, & Balance/ARX. The last two weeks I haven’t done this routine; one week I substituted and the other I took an extra day off. I justified this in part due to shoulder pain. Today I killed it! Shoulder felt more or less fine throughout… the only time I was really aware of it was during foam rolling when it felt good-sore.

Ab Ripper went well; I meant to notice the time on the clock when Tony says “half way” but never heard him say that. Guess I was too busy working out. My favorite move has become the tornado. Feel that so many places but I can keep up with the reps.

The pull-up numbers were the same or slightly less than last time. I believe this is in due to the fact that with my slightly rearranged schedule today was the second day in a row of back moves.

What felt great were the chest/balance parts. Most of my numbers were twice what they were the last time I did this workout. I was able to balance on all the various ball combinations. The hardest was the Impossible/Possible; took me forever to get balanced on that one, so I only got 1 push-up done… that was one more than last week. Push-up side plank went from 7 dropping to knees to 10 proper position. Looking forward to seeing how I can do next week!

Speaking of next week, I plan on staying in Phase 2 for one more week… then on to Phase 3.
 
And if all that wasn't enough to read (for you) or do (for me) it was a beautiful day and I got out for a 3 mile run. Two months until the 1/2 marathon...
