Valhalla Week, Wednesday
I missed Tuesday. My excuse is that I barely had enough time to slip away for "dinner" with the family, which consisted of snuggling a bit with the daughter who had an ear infection and coloring for 10 minutes with the one who did not.
Tonight's dinner break with the family was much more upbeat, what with the ear infectoid now feeling better and bouncing off the walls. So after a quick dinner (shredded chicken, cabbage, onion, cumin for me), I enlisted the daughters to help with Wednesday's exercise.
4 sets of
10 burpees each
1 minute rest between sets, clock stops during rest
For time
1:59*
*I don't think I did them quite right. Standing-squat straight down-kick legs fully backward-bring legs back under body-stand. I guess I was supposed to do a pushup there while my legs were out.
The Daughters wanted to do it, too, so they banged out their even-less-strict burpees while I was in rest period.
I think the reduced difficulty burpee technique was for the best, because ohhhhhhh owwwwwwwwwwwww aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr. Ended with me lying on the floor curled up and nauseous and sucking wind. Daughter the Younger came over to look down at me, then returned shortly with a paper towel. "You're all sweaty." Thanks, kid.
Oh, and I was wrong about not getting sore after Monday's workout. Nothing Tuesday, but today I hurt in a bunch of little places throughout the hip and abdomen. Places I'm not used to aching.
