Not my last workout ever - just my last workout before mini-vaca. I’m going away without the family for a friend’s wedding for a few days.

Tues night was karate. I finally have penon 2 down, just in time for it to be the last night I work on forms for a couple months, so I hope I can remember it!

I showed Wendy the latest Youtube video I have of her doing penon 2, and how she kinda goes through the motions without OOMPH. In theatre they say “make it bigger!” and Wendy needs to make it bigger, deeper, stronger  - which then makes it harder and more tiring. She teeters on how much she wants to succeed vs. how much she wants to push herself - much like her mom. When she saw the video she felt poopy. (Her word)

Meanwhile - we were at Karate and Alice was PR’ing the mile with a 6:36.

But this pic is from the relay...

Today’s workout: Tried that 10-20-30 again without the PMS, thankuverymuch. Did 10 mins on treadmill, 20 tricep dips off a bench, 13 pushups against the bench (yah, not quite 30), 40 crunches (20 as alternate toe touches and 20 as oblique) and 50 lunges, which were really 25 back lunges and 25 side to side lateral lunges.

Round 2: 10 jumping jacks, 20 tricep dips, plank for 30 seconds, 40 clamshell crunches with a Swiss ball behind my heels, and 50 side-lying clamshells I learned in Pilates on Monday. (With feet raised)

Then some extra core stuff for good measure - like plank with straight arms walking feet in and out.

My Yoga Paws and Yoga deck will come with me on the trip. And I’m sure some crunches will be done on a hotel room floor (on a towel). But I would not be surprised if my only cardio is dancing at the wedding.

2010 goal update: 2820 crunches, 70 minutes of plank remaining.
