Day 19 – Everything Is Awesome!

Morning workout went well enough I suppose, but I can tell you that my new “least favorite” exercise is Mr. Spectaculars!  It was technically Circuit Training Day, but the first circuit after the warm up was literally 100 Mr. Spectaculars.  I, unfortunately, can not do Mr. Spectaculars completely, so I must substitute with Barbell Push Presses and Push-ups.  Seeing as I had already completed 19 push-ups for my Bodyweight Exercise of Choice, and 30 push-ups in my warm up, doing another 100 was a little tough…wore me out a bit and took me over an hour to complete my workout.  The second circuit was almost “nice” with Dumbbell Slashers, side bridges, and Bicycle Crunches (only 4 rounds).

From there got running our appointments for today, got most of my other challenge tasks handled at the park, including my cardio workout which was a 60 minute ruck with a 20 lbs. pack on.  That also wore me out a little, especially in the warmer day (although not quite as warm as yesterday).  Was able to make it to 2.2 miles using the nature trails, mixing up my routes trying to make sure I wasn’t completely across the park when 60 minutes hit.  That would force me to make it 80 or more minutes to get back to the car, and I just didn’t think I was up to it today with the 20 lbs. pack on!

Honestly, other than that, Everything Is Awesome!
