chillin'Now Playing: Everclear
What a nice chilled out weekend we've had. Yesterday, combat was cancelled (again!) so we went out on the bikes with the dogs. Nice to be able to give them a really good run around now the weather is a bit cooler. Oh yeah and I should also mention that they are never likely to overheat ever again, since Dave gave them a grade 2 all over and they are now practically BALD!!! I got in from my client on Friday and could barely find them, they were about half the size with all their fluff gone. Now I've got used to it, it must be said that they are awfully cute like that. It makes them look like puppies again. Sigh. I am very broody for more puppies at the moment (see below). If I'm not careful I'll end up a crazy old lady with about 15 dogs :-)
Anyway I seem to have digressed somewhat. Yeah, so we biked the dogs till they were worn out, came home, grabbed some breakfast and then headed out on the bikes again, minus dogs and plus cameras. Had a really nice mellow couple of hours biking/walking round the common taking photos. You can see the best ones on my flickr page. My puppy broodiness went into overdrive when we met this little cutie:
I want one! I want one!
Today was upper body weights followed by TKD. My arm dents are definitely getting better. I seem to have reached a bit of a plateau in my routine though - I can't seem to add more weight to what I've been doing for the last week or so. It's probably time for a new routine as I've had this one about 6 weeks. One of our TKD instructors has just started out as a personal trainer, so I'm thinking I might get him to do me one. Mind you, both of them, Andy and Mike, are nutters. I'm thinking they would rival Skwigg's Evil Trainer in a one-to-one session. Last Thursday at TKD Andy had us do 110 press-ups. Yes that's right, ONE HUNDRED AND TEN. Then while the rest of us were doing our punching and kicking Andy asked Mike to give him some endurance training and proceeded to do about a million squat thrusts with high jumps in between. It made me tired just to look at him :-)
Anyway TKD was cool today. Lots of leg strength work, throwing a kick and then pulling it back but keeping your knee up. My hips were shouting at me to stop by the end.
