Well I knew I was going out to dinner last night so I absolutely killed myself yesterday. My back and arms are so sore. I did my exercises for the day which was all I supposed to do yesterday but I did the entire routine 2 times, then I did my booty yoga (which is really freaking hard, I always though yoga was supposed to be easy), and then cardio. I kept it light in the cardio though maybe only ran a mile and a half cause I was pretty beat by then.
But, it's so worth it for all the crab I ate last night.
TASB, is that really you? Jesus dude. Are you still doing P90x? The ab workout in that program may be one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.

jagermonster wants to hit tasb.
Had a soccer game yesterday. I am so out of shape. I couldn't move after 15 minutes. I am so sore today. Tomorrow shouldn't be much better.
I had 2 tennis practices cancelled this weekend. On Saturday because it was too cold (too cold? wtf?) and on Sunday because of the rain. Went to the gym and did 40 mins of HIIT instead. Got lower body (legs and lower back) tonight.

To tell you the truth I don't get the same burnout working yourself sweating to the oldies feeling I get with normal workout or even palates as I do with yoga. I just use yoga as an additive after I workout or on a off day sort of activity.

Buying the protein stuff now.
Monday did chest and ran about 3.76 miles in a half an hour.
Back and crazy ab routine today. 30 minutes on the bike=10.01 miles
With my shaved head, I look like a freaking army kid. I can't tell if I'm getting any bigger, though. Thinking the protein stuff will help.
Sorry for gratuitously posting me pics, but I figure this is the safest place to do so.

It says, "Brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth, I vow to speak purely and lovingly. When my mouth is fragrant with right speech, a flower blooms in the garden of my heart."
Anyone want to suggest a particular protein supplement? I don't know what to look for really...should I go see a nutritionist first?

Was tired ALL day today but managed to drag my sorry self to the gym.
Legs today.
For the first time since I started being able to run a half hour straight, I simply wasn't able to today. I think it's because I really tried to work my legs hard with weights and I pushed myself really hard on the bike yesterday and on the treadmill the day before.
You can't have your best day every day, I guess.
I also ordered the 5 lb whey protein deali-o off of the internet. Psyched about that.

Was working super late again last night, but I managed to sneak out to the gym for at least a 45 minute workout - 15 mins jogging on the track + chest/upper back (chest press, upright rows, dumbell flys, lats, and reverse flys).
Tennis tonight if I don't fall asleep first.

Shoulders yesterday, arms today. Ran for about 25 minutes yesterday. I don't know what I did, but my right knee does NOT feel good. I'm going to take a break from running and hit the pool today after my weight workout.
I really have gained a loving appreciation for running, though. Ah well...another opportunity to grow, yes?
Plus, swimming is a whole body workout.

Holy fuck I just got my protein powder. It is a HUGE jug.
Ok now that you're in the club, you're allowed to grunt when you get your swell on. Actually, not only is it allowed, it's encouraged. Sunglasses whilst indoors are probably a good idea now as well.

Sounds like a triathlete in the making...

Actually, on advisement of the guy at the gym, am taking about three days off from doing any cardio because of my knee.
He recommended that I rest it to see if there's any pain after that, just to be safe. He also complimented and told me that he notices that I bust my ass on the treadmill.
I'm actually thinking of a triathlon...but not anywhere in the near future. I'd really have to train for that.

So there's this corporate 5k run coming up later this month in Philly, and my company has a team entered. I said I'd do it, too, since I'm in much better shape than I've been in 15 years. This weekend, I decided I better actually go out and run 3 miles just to make sure I'm not killing myself before I officially sign up for the race. I went down to the canal path and ran what I thought was about a mile and a half, turned around, and ran back. Out of curiosity, I measured the distance afterwards by driving on the road that runs right next to the path. Turns out that I actually ran 2.5 miles before the turnaround and 5 total. LOL. Oops. My calves were like "WTF!!!!" all yesterday.
But I made it, so I suppose I can do 3 no problem. There is a competition with this, but I think only the top 3 from each team count in the competition and there are some pretty serious runners on the team, so I don't have to worry about time. Just finish and go to the afterparty...

Nice!!!
I'm going to the gym in about half an hour. Going to test out my knee for the first time in a few days. NJFunk...I'm also interested in giving a race a shot.
Well, I won't be "racing" so much as just going for a run with hundreds of other people around me, and then going to a party with my coworkers afterwards where I don't have to worry about smelling bad. Seems like a win-win all around.

Nice work, ladies.
I had a busy week last week and was not able to weight train. However, I did play soccer so I did get my cardio on. Back at it this week, starting tomorrow.
Yeah, my season starts next weekend (on the 18th), so I am officially in season now and cutting back weight training to 1 day a week in favor of more tennis and agility drilling on off days (and maybe a couple more runs until this 5k is over).
Still losing the spare tire, though, and doing my abs workouts, so a six pack by summer is not out of the question.

Sarah...I'm thinking about taking some martial arts training. I'm going to get in a bit better shape and do some research as to what's available in my area.
Bought a nice set of adjustable dumbells yesterday. Golds Gym Switchplate 100.

Woohoo, I'm back on track and feeling the burn, Fuck you Flagyl!
Today, yoga booty> full body strength training (might cut out the obliques to not upset intestinal area just yet) > cardio. Indoor cardio cause I'm not running in the snow/rain/snow.

martial arts is wonderful. there are so many options. even a tai chi class will do your body so much good. (not directed at anyone in particular) from a "safety" perspective, judo is the safest (least # of injuries) for kids. I like it 'cause it has helped me learn to control my qi (energy) better. but a tai chi class would also do that. the warm-ups for tae kwon do are pretty hardcore. if you youtube: (name a martial art) warm ups, you'll get a better idea of how a class might warm up. you can also search (name of art) city, for something local to you.

There's no shortage of great teachers in SF. High-ranking female teachers, too! 
If I were out there, I'd go learn from her, while I could:

If you really want to learn to kick ass, bjj is the shit. the bjj guys know how to kill you. (judo evolved from bjj, but its focus leans more toward character development). The first video at the link below was obviously made by a fan of the dojo. I like places that teach kids. I think every kid should study a martial art, at some point.

The krav maga kids also kick ass. Krav maga borrows some from bjj:
[ame][/ame]
Krav maga is far more street application, day-to-day than anything steeped in martial arts philosophy. But it works.
Any martial art has its strong points. Some are more philosophy-oriented. Some use weapons more. Most folks wear padding; competitively, they are a young people's game. Older, formerly competitive judoka (judo players) tend to have some hardware, messed up hands, blown out knees, jaws, etc. Blood, sweat and tears is really nice, but there's no need to break anything while you're learning.
