Catchup

I’m now three days into the Recovery week, but I changed the schedule a bit due to some scheduling conflicts. My sister’s wedding was this weekend, and we ended up needing to leave early for it at the last minute, so I wasn’t able to get Yoga in Saturday morning. So I figured the 5.5 mile run I did on Friday would count as my Yoga day, since I did spend a good amount of time stretching, and Saturday became my rest day. Then I picked back up with the schedule Sunday with Core Synergistics.

Core Synergistics is a core workout, but done with other exercises as well. There are prison cell pushups, which are pushups with pulling in your knees for some core work. Then stuff like doing lunges, then doing tricep kickbacks, curls and shoulder presses all in the lunge, and “Banana Rolls” which are a bit hard to describe, but they work all 4 sides of your core at once. It’s all good stuff, and my low back muscles are sore today, which is good because I know they need work.

Today was Kenpo, which I’m starting to enjoy a bit more. I’d still rather go for a run, but it’s not as bad as Yoga. Tomorrow is X Stretch, but I think I’m going to go for a real easy run (20 minutes or so) then stretch for 20 minutes on my own, since what I’ve seen of the X Stretch DVD is kinda lame.
