End of week 3

Who's got two thumbs and has totally been slacking off?  This guy!

Seriously, though, the last two weeks has kind of sucked.  I've been out of town for work Monday thru Friday which means missing Tuesday/Wed/Thursday for sure at Farrell's. I made it to the 5:30 kickboxing on the Friday of week 2 which was very good but wound up missing Saturday because of my uncle's funeral down in Faribault.  Week 3 started off with co-coach Tim kicking with me Monday morning which was great... he really chased me around the bag... my flight Friday got in later than the week before and Sarah had to work Friday night so I didn't get to kick Friday, but I did get in for strength training yesterday.  John was there which was great but oh my god am I in pain.  I realized yesterday that it had been two weeks since I did strength training really... I mean, I did alternate workouts three times while traveling (not enough) but that's nothing compared to a real Farrell's session.  I banded up quite a bit on any chest or tricep exercises now that I have the techniques down.  Well, not ANY chest exercise, just the one simulating incline press.  What destroyed me was the lunge sets... right side forward and back is one, three sets of 12 and then left side same thing... essentially 144 lunges.  I did maybe half of them total, my quads almost gave out on me completely.  Between that and the donkey kicks and hip raises that inevitably follow... well, I tried to go without ibuprofen today but I couldn't take it anymore.

Tomorrow starts a glorious week 4... and Sarah will be there!  She signed up for FIT at my location, planning for 6AM classes so I'll bring the boys with me and we'll trade them off on mornings when Em is in school... otherwise I'll maybe go to afternoon class, we'll see.  But since Em will be home tomorrow (they don't have school Monday), Sarah and I are both doing the 7AM class so that should be fun.  :-)   I'm just excited to be HOME for a whole week... (I'm taking a 4-day weekend next weekend)... and excited for a full week of Farrell's again.
