I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

All it takes for me to feel like an uncoordinated out-of-shape meatbag is a little yoga.  I think I may have wrenched a few glands out of socket. 

This time the yoga man wore blue jean cutoffs over his spandex.  If his goal was to seem manlier, then he needs to re-adjust his goals.  And get a haircut.

Cal assessment was skipped last week due to pizza and a movie. 

Compared to two weeks ago:

Pullups went down 1

Situps up 6 (Only 8 away from my goal.  Thanks Kim!)

Pushups no change

What's with the Kettlebells Pavel!  They're making me much less awesome and my forearms are bruised.

Yoga is the art of trying to become a pretzel.  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is, in my case, having someone actually make me into a pretzel. 

My execution for both is pretty similar.  Lots of unvoluntary noises (grunts and today I almost shrieked) and not listening to my body.

Even my stubble is sore from yesterday.   Not acutally the hairs, but my chin is tender.   Is it from all the groaning and pleading to make the pain end?  Will I end up with a buff jaw if I continue? 

Work had softball, bingo and karaoke for our day off.  I passed and did Cals, Spin, Abs and an easy run instead.

Super short and super slow run.  Ran pizza-laden to BJJ.  Today I was able to spar for the first time.  It was very tiring.  I won a match after a  guy tapped out  because he threw me and I landed on his face.  It was the only match I won, so I guess that will be my strategy from now on.

In addition to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they also offer Muay Thai, which I started yesterday and have a fat lip from.  I wasn't even sparring.  Just holding a shield for someone to kick.  Apparently I held it too loose, allowing it and my own hand to travel and stop at my mouth.

I should probably stick to spin and abs.  Or develop my bingo and karaoke skills.

Very slow miles afterward.

Cals, maybe a run later.

* Long run.  Lost my nearly full bottle of gatorade half way through when I took a break and dropped it where I peed.  :(

Skipped all contact sports, but got in a fight with district HQs over the funding, or lack of, one of my projects. 

I missed spin and Abs was cancelled.

KBs and a recovery run.
