no, your eyes are not deceiving you. i finally got my fat @$$ out of bed in the morning and got a workout in. instead of jumping back into the Max workouts and pretty much dying, i figured it would be a good idea to catch up on some of the first month workouts that i missed back in april and may. so filling in the gap i left in the first week, i got the Cardio Power and Resistance workout done from Day 3. with the thought of tomorrow doing the Plyometric Cardio Circuit from day 10. and because i’ve not done much of anything the last couple weeks, this kicked my butt! doing power squats in the warmup was tough, my knees weren’t fully warmed up until the 2nd round of warmups. this workout wasn’t as bad as i remembered – those Max workouts definitely put these workouts into perspective. fit test on monday… that should be interesting.

it almost wasn’t going to happen today, i reset the alarm this morning when joseph woke up at 4:30 and was up for no apparent reason until 5:15. he wasn’t hungry or thirsty, he was just awake. i put him back into his crib and read a couple poems out of “Where the Sidewalk Ends” (i’ve read through that book about 30 times now, it’s part of his pre-bedtime story time). and he fell back asleep. if i was smart, i would’ve just stayed up and got to the fitness center early, got the workout in and went on with my day. but that’s not how it happened, i reset the alarm for 6:30 and snoozed a couple times instead 
. i had a meeting with some of the PHS Boosters to discuss the Park Football website after work. and got home in time to play with joseph a bit before bed. the wonderful wife allowed me the opportunity to get over to the fitness center and i was out the door before i really even had time to think about how tired i was and how much i really didn’t want to workout… but it was all good once i got here. tough workout and my right knee was bugging me a little bit, so i laid off a little during the ‘touch the floor’ exercise. sweat abounds with every workout and once i’m done, i feel like something was accomplished.

resistance, yes. power… that’s another story. i was up late again last night (not as late as the night before), but this time i was learning me the basics of Adobe Premiere CS4, which will come in handy when i get to work later. after the alarm went off (and after a couple snoozes), i willed myself out of bed wishing for another recovery workout (ha ha). alas, no such luck. once i got through the warmup and stretching, i was in the right mind frame and was drippings wis dee goo (Ghostbusters II, anyone?). i was sweating extensively throughout the entire workout today (gotta make sure i drink plenty of the H2O today).
