aaaaaaaand we're back!

After a weekend in Asheville, NC for my friend and brother, Matthew's wedding, and the subsequent "late night swerve-fest" driving back to Atlanta, I had a bit of a time getting back on track.

Monday: 1/18/10

I got back to Atlanta early in the morning (read: 6AM) and tried to catch a nap before my client at 11AM. Got up at 10 to shower and prepare the apartment. Gave her a massage and went back to bed... Apparently, all of the festivities, and keeping the groom in line was more tiring than I thought. After all, the bride's mother DID point out that she has Aztec blood in her and WOULD rip Matthew's heart from his chest if he didn't show up. Since I was staying in the same hotel room, I was informed that my chest cavity was also in danger. LOL I liked Luisa right away!!! Anyway, all of that, plus about 12 hours of standing and dancing in rented tux shoes (with NO PADDING) didn't lend weight to my mind's reminder on Monday: "You're supposed to be running today!"

Didn't happen. It's not about perfect performance, right?

Tuesday: 1/19/10

At first, my workout partner said that she had to change the time of our workout. Either later (9pm) or the next morning at 5:45am. I chose 9. Then, about 8, she called and said that the last time we worked out late, she couldn't get to bed. I understand that is common, but I have never really had an issue with that. LOL I can go to bed just fine after a workout (and a shower), I just have to give myself about two hours between working out and going to bed. Anyway, we worked it out that we would workout Wednesday at 11, after my morning classes

Wednesday: 1/20/10

We worked out... first day back. Might as well have been the first day!

Alternating pull ups (wide grip vs. narrow grip)
lunge-squat-lunge-squat (harder than it sounds)
Standard to military push ups (shoulder width vs. elbows in to your sides)
Toe Raisers (seems like it would be a break, doesn't it)
Concentration curl with isometric lunge (didn't we already do lunges?)
Lunge and reach (What the heck? MORE lunges?)

WOW... holy burning legs! That's a good workout anyway, but to do it after being off since last Friday? That's what I get!!!
