The 4th Dimension

Been trying to incorporate three aspects into my trainng:  Strength, Stretching, and Conditioning.  It's been going OK, though I admit to falling off a bit on the conditioning part.  Nevertheless, I'll be adding a fourth aspect to my routine:  Family.

Starting now, I'll be giving Suzi an hour to herself every Wednesday morning, which will leave me pretty much no workout time.  Then on Thursday, all of my before-work time will be devoted to doing something with her and Imogen; probably not something fitness related.  I'm excited to plan extra time with them each week, and my workout schedule will need to change accordingly.  So:

Monday - Run, Stretch
Tuesday - Handstand Pushups, Pullups, Bridges
Wednesday - Hang out with Imogen
Thursday - Hang out with Suzi and Imogen
Friday - Run, Stretch
Saturday - Pushups, Pistols, Hanging Leg Raises
Sunday - Run, Stretch

Also, once again, I'm redoubling efforts to cut down rest between reps and between sets.  Rep counts  may suffer accordingly.

Took a full week off from working out because of my wicked elbow tendinitis.  Rest and ibuprofen don't seem to have alleviated the symptoms, but they have left me raring to go.  Going to dial the pushups and pullups back a notch or two in the hopes that the less strenuous movements will not aggravate the condition as much and allow some healing to happen.  Convict Conditioning emphasizes the need to master each step in order to strengthen the joints and connective tissues for the subsequent, harder, steps... maybe there's something to that.
