P90x Day 68 - Legs & Back

Today was an odd day.

I woke up crazy early this morning because I'd been drinking water all night and had to hit the restroom. So on the way back to bed I was thinking of all the things I had to do today. Mow the lawn, wash the car, maybe grill out. Then it hit me... today wasn't Saturday. UGH!

So there I was, super awake and I decided that if I went back to sleep it wasn't likely that I'd get up with the same awakeness that I had at that moment. So I did the bizarre thing and just went ahead and got up to work. So I was at work at 4am and then got to leave at lunch. I actually got a ton of work done with the hours where nobody was around.

So anyways, I was really tired and the rest of the day sorta played out as it did. But then after the kid went to bed I realized that when I came home I didn't work out like I had planned. So I ended up working out later than I wanted to and with alot less gusto than I wanted to. But surprisingly it turned out ok. I did 10 reps of every exercise and took no breaks. So after 10 reps I'd skip to the next workout and while they were setting up or talking I'd be doing my 10 reps of that and moving on. I cut about 30 minutes off the workout from just following the DVD and felt pretty wiped out afterwards. I was really surprised at how much of a sweat I worked up and even though I felt pretty tired before, it ended up being an ok workout.

I really almost skipped the workout because of the day's circumstances, but I couldn't stand the idea of having to mark down another missed workout. After the last 2 weeks of spotty workouts I am doing everything I can to stay the course.

Tomorrow is Kenpo and another run. Hopefully with all the Saturday chores I'll fit it in without having to do it late at night.
