That wasn't a great workout...
Observation: My hip flexors didn't hurt toward the end of my first round... they are back to hurting again which tells me my abs are weak once again. Also, my left arm is still weaker than my right.
Is it Saturday yet?

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)
Plyometrics
Max HR: 184
Avg HR: 152
Calories Burned: 560
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.
But my ABS! Owwie. Loving it.
