Day 10 - Reflection

I woke this morning a little bit sore and stiff - which I figure is either because of the PCP exercises, or (more likely) doing the exercises and then going to sit in a car for 5+ hours. I slept like the dead for a solid 11 hours (a little sleep deprived and a very long day). Although I woke briefly at my normal time, I rolled over and snuggled back into my dreams (which involved a magic school. A Disney version of Hogwart's. With infants. And fast cars. And Michael Keaton.)

Exercise

Today I managed the jump-roping better than yesterday. But jumping out of a car and jumping rope is not a great improvement over jumping rope and then jumping into a car. Blech. The rest of the work out went fine, with two exceptions:

• I still haven't found a good option for the inclined pull-ups. There was one possibility (or so I thought) at the neighborhood playground, but it was too low to the ground for me to get any leverage for pulling myself up.
• Push ups - blech. They start out fine, but I had to do the last 3 on my knees. If anyone was listening, there were NOT any whimpering sounds coming from my apartment. I deny everything.
