Here in San Diego I have been distracted by plenty of other things besides being inside on a computer and blogging. This week off has been great.
Tuesday was the workout challenge. Gerry came to the gym right from work and took 3 classes. He talked with Gillian about joining up and last we spoke he was seriously considering it. He said it was a great workout. The challenge was awesome. We only had 5 minutes between classes to rest. We did new and more intense exercises for each class. A couple people did all the classes and some even stayed to spar at the end. I did two rounds with only kicks. Its odd when you rely on your punches to set up your kicks and then you don't have them.
My hip felt great mostly because I stretched for 30 minutes prior to class starting. I focused on technique for all the motions to make sure I was doing them correctly so I did not aggravate my injury (yes I consider myself injured not hurt now).
Wednesday I flew out to San Diego. I went for a run and long bike ride upon arrival. Thursday I jumped rope and shadowboxed for a few rounds. Took a bike up to a point on the beach to stretch and then rode back just in time to play football for a couple hours. The picture above is where I stretched. Jealous?
Saturday I woke up ar0und 9 am and did some jump rope pyramids, shadowboxing, and two leg trees with push ups. My hip feels sore (mostly from football) but working it out manages the pain a bit. Tomorrow I will most likely go to play another couple hours of football unless it conflicts with my flight.
Positives:
Hip stretches work, staying active
Improvements:
Getting hungry every1.5 hours rather than every 2.5
