Life got a little distracting yesterday so I'm doing double entry today. I was struggling to concentrate yesterday so I did an extra walk on my own and then another long walk with my favorite walking buddy. However, I didn't do my exercises so first thing this morning, I did them. I've had to make adjustments to the routine because two of the exercises require a sturdy post of sorts to loop the resistance band around and for some reason, I don't have access to a sturdy post inside my home. So I changed up those exercises to versions I can do with my own body weight. They are bicep curls and tricep pushdowns. I only did one set of each and I can feel it. Yikes! How out of shape am I? (Don't answer that)
I won't be able to walk with my favorite walking buddy today because I'm teaching this afternoon, but I will get in a walk on my own. My class isn't too far from home so I like to walk home after, as long as the weather is nice enough.
The Senior Games are coming up next month and I've been trying to decide if I should volunteer to help out. On one hand, I think it would be super encouraging to see what others my age and older are able to do athletically speaking. On the other hand, it could send me down the path of regrets, disappointment and self doubt. I always loved the excitement of competition and seeing how far I could push myself, both mentally and physically. I liked coming up with strategies based on who I was competing against and I especially loved it when all my hard work and training paid off and I ran an awesome race. Ok, now I'm feeling nostalgic...in a good way. :) Hmmm? Maybe I should go, it could be fun to be in that environment again.
