sensiD’s BodyBlog

Are all blogs down or what?

Time to re evaluate the goals at the top of the bodyspace signe in. The dog and I were abble to run 2 and change miles this morning..Hell, at times I was pulling the dog to get him to hurry up insted of him pulling me. Hooray for me!! Horray for the dog!! Time to think of what challange to set next..althow I will wate on trying haveing it be the same distance for speed untill the snow and Ice are gone. Hills in northern VT + Psycho dog + Trying to sprint + Ice = NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

Hay..I can now run about a half mile with my dog with out my ankles acting up in a major way. Yippie for me and the dog! (Now if I can only get him to stop jumping up and punching me in the groin!) You gota love pupies!

Sunday the 9th of march had a sort of pathetic start. Basicly sat in bead late and forgot that it was the day to move the clock forward so got to church late and had to rush through brunch and walking the dog to get to swordfighting practice around on time after church. This got me off to an anoyed start. Then I got thare and weighted for about 1/3 hour and no one showed up. I left a message at the desk to tell people i was in the computer lab at the libary if anyone showed up. Checked my account at this site.

 Thankefully some of the guys showed up at about 2 (Practice is supposed to start around 12:30) so we got the armer and stuff on and got to practicing. With multiple bouts in a round robben format we went for about 1 1/2 hour before I broke fome of thare armer and tired out the other guy and smashed up his shield 6 ways from sunday. This left me with no ware as mutch workout as i had planed on and expected. Insted of going home and calling it a day in anoyance I went up to where the pull up machene was and did circuts of kenpo combinations and pullups. I got through about 80 combonations with sets of 5 and about 38 asisted pullups and chinups. Then I went home and took the dog for a short walk.

 The point being made here is that no mater what cropes up you can finish a workout or at least get one in no matter what changes in your day. The floor is always thare for pushups, mountanclimbers, lunges and squats. If you do a martial art than the forms and combinations are thare in your head. I have a frend who after the birth of his child and other issues with his family can not afford the time or muney to get to a gym so he does his martial arts practic with no partners and lifts multiple rocks in his back yard and is in exelent shape. Last time we spared he had not lost a step and was still an engaging and chalanging aponent. As long as you keep your goal in mind and  find some sort of motivation you can acomplish something toward your fitness goals every day..even if you have a late day at work..a long drive…and no time to stop at the gym. Do multiple sets of pushups and situpa without rest between sets untill you can not do any..stretch and call it a day. At least you did something and you can go to bead with no regrets or self recriminations.

Keep at it everyone.

When you are a kid and get a snow day it seems like a gift from the gods. Play all day and sleep in! Does not realy happen that way at 30+!

Snow shoveling, walking the dog (That one is fun), doing odd jobs around the house, arguing with wife about hou to do these odd jobs . The shoveling and dog walking use up some calories but not as manny as you did sledding and snowball fighting as a kid )I am from the generation before nintendo so i actualy did things on those days.

The enoying thing is on a day when you think you could get in extra exercise you end up getting to the gym later. Then you are more tired when you stare so you go slower to complete everything. Tharefore you get finished later, get home later, eat later and get to bed later so the next day is even harder than it would have been if you had just gone to work!! BUT….That is whate mental tuffness comes into play!! Both days just drive through and do it..maby more than you planed..just to prove to your limitations that they do not rule you.

"Creation is an act of pure will!" ya, it was from a dinasaur movie but it rocks! As does"Strength of will, Curage of will" which came from a gameing magizene. Both tie in well with a comment I herd on the site from waytotall "The weights won’t move themselves! And with that I am off!
