Day 2 - Plyometrics

I woke up and YES, my abs were SO sore... what a glorious feeling!  My legs are sore from the bike, too.... Halfway through my trip I started to get pelted with stinging raindrops and had to pedal as fast as I could for about 2 miles before the torrential downpour began... So needless to say, thighs are a little sore.
But my ABS!  Owwie.  Loving it.
Plyo today... I am a little apprehensive about giving it my all today... I don't want to pull a muscle like I did the first time back in March.  However, I want to do this thing right.  I'll go as hard as I can.  The only thing really holding me back is that I have been out of my 12-hour inhaler for a couple months now, so breathing may be an issue... which means my heart rate is going to skyrocket...  I'll do the best I can.
Something else I thought of... I don't want to push myself to work out every day like I did before... I think that is what led to me constantly getting sick and feeling burnt out.  New rule:  If there is a night I feel too tired to have a decent workout, instead of pushing myself, I will take a night off... and no more doubling up on 2 workouts in one day unless I feel up to it.  I may do that today since the 3rd workout is shoulders & arms which isn't a big deal.
Enough typing... Time for Plyometrics, woohoo!  <--sarcasm  ;o)

OH. MY. GOODNESS.
I am almost certain that throwing "Plyometrics" on any resume would land you any job immediately.
That is one badass workout.
I look like I just stepped out of a pool. 

Holy hell.

AND I wore my Easy Spirit "Girlfriend" shoes... the super tall squishy shoes that made me feel like I did the entire hour of Plyo in loose sand...
Silly me.












If I can do that, I can do ANYTHING.  I feel so empowered ;o)

Bike?  I think yes.

After a protein shake and some water...

Oh, and I definitely need to get another inhaler... my lungs physically hurt.  Not good.
