Week 2, Day 3. T25-Alpha: Speed 1.0 + Tai Cheng: Neural Reboot P1 + Press - Separate & Pull Combo. PLUS Tennis to start the day.

Today was a weird and great day. Started off with Tennis in the morning. It was my first tennis match in about a month, and my first real competitive match since the middle of August. It started off really rough, I couldn't keep anything in the court and my timing was SO off. It took me about 15 minutes to get my bearings and start really stroking the ball. I found my groove and hit away. Final score, 6-0, 6-1, 6-1, 6-0.  Burned 1000+kcals.

After the tennis match, I have been missing doing pull ups, so I ripped out 20 pull ups in a 12-4-4 set. I'm thinking of doing pull ups regularly to keep up that ability. Don't want to lose what I gained from P90X3. Although I feel I have already lost some strength in that area because I haven't done a serious series of pull ups since finishing P90X3.

I got home around 8pm so I rushed my prep and started Speed 1.0 at about 8:30pm. I was able to do Up and Down's a little better this time, but still felt like a hack. I was able to hang with Shaun T for almost 20 minutes. With 6 minutes remaining, I had to take a 15 second breather to shake out my feet. My arches were killing me, but recovery time with shaking it out is getting shorter. I only took one more break at 3 minutes remaining, but after that, I pounded it home.  Great workout, and I feel myself getting better at it along with my legs getting stronger. My legs were a bit sore and tired from the tennis already, so I think I might have been able to hang the entire time if I didn't already do a lot of movement with tennis in the morning.

Tai Cheng was, as usual, Awesome! Love today's combo and felt the flow really nicely. I'm trying to follow Dr. Cheng as closely as possible, but I still wish I had him here with my to check my form. Sometimes I get the sense that I'm doing something wrong, or I'm missing something in my stance or posture and I just can't figure it out.  Hopefully those questions will abate when I get further into the program.

In total, I burned close to 1700kcals today.  Plus, Vegan Berry Shakeology for dinner!
