Day 44: Plyometrics

Good night's sleep?  Check.  Complete lack of fear because I knew what was coming?  Check.  3 1/2 gallons of water extracted from my body through the sweat pores?  Check.  Check.  Check.  Awesome, awesome, awesome morning! 

I love plyo!  Love it, love it, love it!  I am using sets of three to emphasize this morning.  I don't know why.  My fingers just feel the need to repeat.  My fingers just feel the need to repeat.  My fingers just feel the need to repeat.  Okay, that's a bit overkill.  :-)  I'm obviously still quite high on the endorphins that this workout produced. 

I jumped.  I squatted.  I leapt.  I lunged.  I saw stars at several points, but a quick shake of the head eradicated them nicely.  Of course, maybe I should be a bit concerned that this workout induces hallucinations.  Nah.  I like them. 

I did have some foot problems today.  I had those last time, too, but I forgot about them until this morning when the balls of my feet started burning.  Then it all came back to me.  I'm not sure if this is pain that I'm meant to work through or if it's time for new shoes.  Well, it is time for new shoes, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this foot pain is something I'm going to have to deal with until my feet get used to this training.  I had the same foot burning when I first started the Shred, and after a few days, it went away. 

At any rate, it's been an amazing morning.  I might even eat brussels sprouts.  On second thought, I will not.  It's my stubborn inner child.  I did, however, try beets for the first time a few days ago.  They taste like dirt with a bit of sweet.  Strangely, I didn't hate them.  We'll never be best friends like asparagus and me are, but we'll definitely be able to work out a friendly acquaintance. 

Day 44:  Brought.
