My shoulders would like to register their displeasure, please. But they're awake now. I had planned to be done with the week's workouts today, but because of my overlooking the test to end Week 2, I won't meet that goal. I'm OK with that. I'll take a day of rest as recommended then finish up this round on Sunday. My two-minute rest period is up, so here's a set of 25...
Between the run I took last night and the stretching I did this morning, I guess I don't have quite as much gas in the tank as I'd like. I struggled once I got past about the 15-rep mark, but kept going, so I've got that to be proud of. When I get to the at-least-25 set I may have to pause, but that's OK. It's important to keep going, and if I need to slow down, maybe start Week 4 in Column 2 instead of Column 3, I'm OK with that. Time to do the first set of 15...This work-out is pushing my boundaries. I understand one has to embrace uncertainty and expose oneself to vulnerability to be happy, learn to see failure as the start of learning, and no buts about it. I may have a lesson to learn today, and that's fine. Failure is always an option. Quitting isn't. Another set of 15...
So, now I'm a workout behind schedule. I meant to be halfway done today, and instead I have to put that off for two days. If I skip next weekend's two days of rest, too, then I'll be back on schedule for by Week 5. Do I really need to arrive there on schedule? How important is that to being fit and happy? And now the set I'm not letting myself dread...
Done. That's 100 on the day and I'm breathing like a race horse, but I did it. I had to stop in the air twice, but I kept it up. Sometimes you just have to soldier on. See y'all Sunday.
