Last day for my son to be at home so we had things planned for the evening to I had to get my workout done in the morning.  So had a lovely ShakeO for breakfast, then went to it.  I was extremely nervous about today's cardio because my legs and glutes were quite sore.  Walking up and down stairs, and just bending over to pick things up off the ground is extremely slow.  But another battle of wills ensued.  My will to finish vs. My will to wimp out.  Finish won BIG TIME!

FINALLY, I got a Straight 25 on Alpha: Cardio!!! It is the first time since I started doing T25 again back in February.  I powered through the first two progressions, and my arches were staying strong, but on the final progression before the first Burnout, the arch pain was hitting the fan.  When I got to the Burnout and the first move was Basic Jacks, My arches were killing me.  I came close to stopping, but then, it seemed like that progress meter started moving faster and the pain started to diminish, so I kept on going.  Main hurdle cleared!  The second half was good, but on the Agility progression, my arches started to cry out again, but being so close to the end, I knew I wasn't going to stop.  And a Straight 25 was born.

I moved right into Abs and my goal was to moan and groan less in the fourth set, and to keep my lower back down as much as possible on the leg lifts.  I did moan and groan less, but keeping my lower back on the ground was still tough.  I did make improvements though.  The plank is not that difficult anymore, so I am surprised.  But the leg lifts is a killer move, especially with the weight low over head.  NO CHEATING!

Splits were fine, I was able to get low to my mark, and the Flow was on par.

After my outing with my kids, my daughter wanted to play some basketball, so I lumbered out to the yard and played some B-Ball. Picking up the ball was a task, and defending was even more brutal.  Luckily, it got dark fast or I wouldn't have made it.  We play for about 20 minutes, but that was more than enough.

In the end (not including B-Ball), I torched a good 777kcals.  Better than I thought.
