As I told you in the previous post, I went out to the Dave Matthews Band concert over the weekend. For me, this is an annual tradition of entertaining and epic proportions. To be honest, my memory of these “memories” is a little foggy. Although I think it’s to be expected in that environment. This weekend however, I remember clearly.
As I’m sure you’re all aware, we had CRAZY thunderstorms on Friday! It just so happened I was outside and standing in them — for an hour and a half. That’s right. My friends and I braved the weather and waited for the show to start. It was the best DMB show I’ve ever been to! Rock on stage and lightning in the air, you could say the atmosphere was... electric (Bad joke, I know).
How does this relate to fitness? Well really, it’s a stretch... but I stayed warm during the rain, so I would say I’m pretty healthy. Also, when we got back to our tents, which were filled with rainwater, I was able to pick mine up over my head and pour the water out, so I suppose I’m strong.
And now… back to Body-N-Motion material. Yesterday, Tuesday, I worked out with Rob. My hamstring is now fully healed and it felt great to get in another intense workout. Honestly, I had been missing it but I think the break was good for my body. It was chest day and we hit it hard! A total of 150 reps between bench, incline and decline, whew… I was spent, but not finished. We still had champagnes and flies.
I felt great after my workout! A few days off, combined with Mike’s “applied ice healing” technique, really refreshed me.
Moral: Sometimes you just have to enjoy yourself and take it easy (but not for too long).
