Have You Seen The Stars Tonight, Paul Kantner
Writing it was no help; grinding all day Friday, left court at 5:00, calls coming in at 5:15 from those who had felt neglected for the last week killed all hope of a pm workout. Instead, 45 minutes on the phone in the Laurel Village parking lot before racing home to Brigid's breakfast for dinner feast.
Resolved to take Saturday off; went in for drenching 90 minute flow class, double pump on all vinyasa, felt wrung out but strong, but some of the progressions just sucked, particularly dancer to half moon and back.
Filled with good intentions to circuit train for the first time in eight days and to walk Rose in the marsh; heat sucked that out of me. Too hot, napped instead. Late bbq, dark by the time we ate outside, adjourning to the lawn to stargaze with Brigid until the sprinklers came on at 10:15, heaven.
Sunday, worked for four hours preparing close. Not going to deny Rose, left for three mile marsh walk in the heat of the afternoon at 3:00, very happy dog, eating bobcat shit running away from me; it was all great fun.
Back home by 4:15; knew I could not be done but had no energy with the heat. Watched ETK and headed out for circuit training at 6:00, went like this:
1st Circuit
15 slow deep pushups, feet on 12" block, one foot up eitght, switch and seven
15 front squats, 20 kg
12 rows l/r, 28kg
10 step back lunges, l/r, 20kg in rack
3x
2nd Circuit
10 windmills, l/r, 16 kg
30 swings, 50 seconds, 22kg
TGU, 2l/r, 28 kg, 2l/r, 22kg
20 figure 8 to hold, 16 kg
3x
That took an hour with a short break to start bbq. Brutal, first circuit training in 9 days and felt strong on nothing but swings and windmills. TGU's surprisingly tough. Glad I did it. More tuesday; am too old to take that much time away without adverse consequence. Good dinner and conversation with the two younger teenagers, they are so themselves.
