I noticed you're all getting tired of these so I thought I'd play naked

OK I'm not actually naked I *AM* wearing a towel

....or am I? =D

If you know the song Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz, you know what I'm going for here:

Otherwise don't even bother =)

[edit]
I forgot to mention that I started feeling ill on Thursday.
Fortunately, on Thursday I did the kick drill so hard I could barely stand up straight afterwards. Then I walked through form 5 (I was surprised to be standing at all) and RAN form 6. And by RAN I mean I ran it at full speed with full power, 100%
Now, the important thing about this is that I've been short-tempered and aggressive for months, seemingly without reason. However, after Thursday I feel better.
I'm so so glad =)

One Important Question

What would you attempt if you knew that you would not fail?

and, for those who need a good cry: Barber's Adagio for Strings

oh yea, and i worked out:

50 pushups
50 cycling crunches
10 bicep curls, 25lbs per arm
50 squats with 50lbs
biceps again
20 reps, 15lbs per arm: shoulder workout, front and side (arms at full extension)
20 bent over flys, 15lbs per arm
50 misc pushups:
  • 10 one-armed (each arm)
  • 10 diamond
  • 10 knuckle pushups (elbows rubbing your sides. open handed as i have wood floors)
  • 10 standard (I skipped wide-arm pushups because they're too easy)
50 squats w/50lbs
15 bent over rows, 50lbs each side
biceps again
20 tricep extensions, 30lbs
50 side crunches, each side
50 pushups
50 cycling crunches
50 pushups =D

Then I jogged a mile (7:30) walked around a bit, then jogged another 14:20. I got bored of my normal route so I don't know how far I jogged, but it was about 3 miles.

Totals:
  • 100 squats
  • 200 crunches
  • 200 pushups

I failed to work out Friday and Saturday.

Still Working Out

Forgot to work out while up in Montreal visiting Hana, though we wrestled and did Kenpo and were anything but 'stationary.'
I'll have a full update about that soon, however, I wanted to post my workout here.

50 pushups
50 cruches (cycling)
50 squats
50 misc pushups:
  • 10 clapping
  • 10 diamonds
  • 10 wide arm
  • 5 one-handed, each side
  • 10 on fists, arms tight to ribs
50 side crunches, each side
quick shoulder workout:
bent-over flys, side, front, rear
50 squats
triceps, biceps.

At that point I had to leave, otherwise I would have done another 50 pushups and crunches. I may go home and do those now, with a bit of jogging, too. This vacation rocks!
Oh, and I'll practice cello, too. I have some vids to post.... but I'm not going to stress about any of it. =)
