Back to work. But it was mainly meetings.  But here is the rub, last night we had guests and it went past midnight.  And by the time I got to bed, it was past 1 am.  I woke up tired and sleepy.  Feeling sleepy on the drive to work was is a bit dangerous so I was blasting music and singing (if you can call what I do singing). Then, I could hardly stay awake during my meetings.  At our break, I took a brisk walk around the campus to get my blood flowing and that seemed to help in the second half of the meetings.  Then more meetings in the afternoon after lunch. I was able to get home a little earlier but I was still feeling sleepy and tired.  I sort of nodded off while relaxing watching the finals of the Miami Open.  After watching the first set, I went to get ready for my workout.

I wanted to CRUSH this routine, but I know that the Push-Up circuit was standing in my way.  The warm up and the next circuit were okay, but I started to feel the burn in my quads a lot earlier than previous workouts.  I wasn't feeling it, but I pushed on.  During the Push-Up circuit, I lost it.  I couldn't push past my last max out time.  My previous max out times were 11:38, 12:36, and 13:10.  Today, my MAX OUT Time was 12:26.  I was so disappointed.  I think this is the first time in the whole program that I lost time.  I regressed.  I really let myself down on this one.  I was VERY not happy.  I took several breaks after that.  But I ended up adding only about 6 minutes to the main routine time.  I just didn't feel it today.  But I pushed through and did the best I could all the way to the end.

No abs today so I went back to my regular Splits routine.  But I shortened it a bit because I read or was told that dynamic stretching is better than static stretching, so I pushed each move to the limit then pulsed to the next position.  That cut about 10 minutes off the routine.  From now on, I'll alternate my Splits and the Unlock routines.  My Flow was on point.  I'm getting better at positioning myself so as not to put too much pressure on my knee.

Today was disappointing, but I'm over it.  Tomorrow is a new day.  I'm going to get more sleep tonight and come back stronger.

In the end, I torched just under 700kcals.  Not bad for a shorter day.
