Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonI have been getting to work early this week. No exercising in the morning and it seems like I have an extra hour. Not sure what to do with myself.
At lunch I went to the football stadium and did lunges up the bleacher seats. Not over doing it but a pretty demanding leg workout. And, I know that I should be in complete taper mode, but, I ran some 50 yard and 100 yard dashes at about 90 percent effort. It felt good. After the leg workout it was back to the gym for abs. I worked my abs a little bit on Tuesday but really hit them hard again. My midsection was sore. I try to work on functional strength as much as possible and swinging the bat in softball has really brought that to light. My left obliques are getting really sore after batting practice. I guess the side planks are just not up to the task. I have been investigating better oblique workouts. I have some old POWER 90 DVD's (the pre-cursor to the P90X) that have some killer ab workouts. I might need to dust those off. What is the point of doing these exercises if they do not translate to real world strength?
We did end up winning our second softball game by default again. The other team just did not show up - pathetic but we might make the playoffs!

You didn't have to tell us they didn't show up...you just say, we won. Kinda like I took third...out of three. NOOOO, just third.
