Back to it!
Tonight is my first workout since right before the Warrior Dash. My knees are feeling better and the scabs on my legs have formed. Now, I can finally shave my legs. Some of the bruises are still a mystery but I have accepted them as badges of pride. All of the shades of purple are really rather lovely. Life is back to normal again for this Warrior.
This is my last week of Phase 1: Muscle Endurance Training. (Whatever the neck that is.) To me, I know it as Week 10 of whatever he says, goes. Apparently we are going out with a bang with 3 sets of 50+ reps of EVERYTHING. Oh, except knee raises, I get to do 150 reps of those bad boys. 10 weeks ago I was doing 45 ball squats, this week I am doing 150 with 30lbs. Wow. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's a process.
I've been getting a lot of people not recognizing me lately. Not being polite, seriously not even knowing they have ever seen me in their lives. (Who ever would have thought I would be so forgettable?) This weekend I get to see my brother Luke. As far as I can figure, I have not seen him in about a year. I am so excited! Duh, he will recognize me but I can't wait to see the shock in his face. Who has "guns" and can't wait to show them off to her brother? --> this girl <-- haha.
*So... on a side note, If you know Luke, you may want to tell him to practice his shock and awe face. ;)
I returned to the gym last night and was relieved that it was LOWER until I got about halfway through ... I wanted to tank the last 2 sets due to exhaustion but then this little LORI voice popped into my head ... "Lynn ... YOU ARE A FUCKING WARRIOR NOW ... YOU GOT THIS SHIT" and I managed to finished my last 2 sets even though I was sweating like a ice cold glass on a 120 degree table!!!! Good Luck with Week 10, I am cruising into WEEK 2! Oh, and I look like someone took some sort of instrument and banged it all over my body ... the bruises from Saturday are EVERYWHERE!!!!
