I am unbelievable sore already! Man, I thought I worked out. Whew.
I’m okay with muscle soreness… I get very aggravated with my back and knees. Both are going to make sure I keep them in mind during this cycle. I see my Doc again next week and until then I’m continuing to stretch my hamstrings. Working on my requirements to start, my pace might be compared to the pace of a turtle. Fast movements aren’t always so pleasant so I figure slow and sure will have to work.
My sit-ups and push-ups have all been in slow sets of 10. I enjoy doing poomsaes and normally try to do whichever I am doing twice. It amazes me though no matter how well I think I know, my mind still goes blank or I catch myself mixing two different poomsaes together.
Jump roping.. Oh no ! My shins. Surprising that anyone around me can’t hear them screaming. I’m really not very good with a rope either. That probably has something to do with I’m not really jumping as high as my brain thinks I am.
I was lucky enough to find a ‘free bob’ on craigslist a few months back. He wears a t-shirt and hangs out in my back yard. My sparring rounds will be with bob weather permitting. Wednesday was tolerable but not so good today. I don’t do cold very well.
My self-defenses and kicks are like my poomsaes. Slow and steady. I have a pull-up bar in the house. I do actually pull-up. I still can’t figure out why my body doesn’t move up when I pull.
Pre-test tomorrow. I’m terrified. And it looks like it might be 32 degrees outside. I’m getting ready to call it a night and go snuggle with my heating pad.
Give the muscles a rest. Good night all.
