Every night I set my alarm for 4:45am and set out all my clothes so I can go to a 5:20am class at the Y. Spin class Monday Wednesday, weights Tuesday Thursday. Four out of five mornings I wake up, turn off the alarm and come up with an excuse to go back to bed. Given all the practice, I've become very convincing, especially after staying up late the night before watching Game of Thrones. So when I slept in Tuesday I simply convinced myself I would take a ride in the evening without realize Lexi had gymnastics and I had fatherly responsibilities. So instead of solid double day, I was only able to spin on my trainer for about 45 minutes yesterday.
Miraculously I made the 5:20am class today, and if there is a best day to go, it is Wednesday. We do a short spin class (35 minutes instead of 50) followed by a 30 minute core workout. The spin class is great for high intensity interval work thanks to the motivational instructor, and the core workout gets me to focus on oft neglected abs, obliques, glutes, etc.
Special bonus today was my first 45 minute PT session. The therapist did an evaluation and essentially told me I have chicken legs and need to strengthen them with squats and lunges and told me to stretch my quads, hamstrings, and IT bands. Also suggested waiting 4 more weeks before running again.
Matt, first things first. I hope you're fully caught-up of GoT, this last season was phenomenal! I've been reading the books as of late, and just started A Feast for Crows. Thanks for setting me up with the books, they're sweet!
