Day 57: Chest and Back; Ab Ripper X

Yesterday, I rested.  I didn't have anything intriguing to write about, so I didn't.  But I'm back with a vengeance today, my friends. 

I enjoyed a new workout this morning.  Chest and back.  Wow.  It's a doozie.  All push and pull.  I had my new pull-up bar ready to go, but I was greatly disappointed to find that it's not tall enough.  It's not a bar, actually, and I bought it in order to have something on which to swing my bands over.  Ugh.  It's too hard to explain.  It did work, though, and I did get more resistance than I have in the past with how I was doing the pull portions of workouts.  It may be that I'm just ready to do actual pull ups.  If that's the case, then bring it.  I'll get an actual bar and just go for it. 

The rest of the workout was really great.  There was one push up move--I can't remember the name--where you "go under the fence."  It's like that movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones--also can't remembe the name--where she's maneuvering through those laser beams.  You know what I'm talking about.  Anyway, one move reminded me of that, and when you did it, they played music in the background that sounded like a James Bond film.  I laughed out loud.  That's right.  I genuinely LOL'ed.  LOLed.  I'm not sure how to add the "ed" to that. 

Ab Ripper.  Nuff said. 

Guess what else I did today?  I signed my butt up for the Seattle Half Marathon!  It's official.  They have my money.  There's no turning back.

Day 57:  Brought.
