I did not think that I was going to get this routine done today. I would not wake up early this morning, well, I would not get out of bed early this morning. I woke up numerous time to shut off and reset the alarm for a later time, finally getting up at 7am to get the kids ready for school. Then I kept busy all day getting the house cleaned up and getting ready for my trip tomorrow. I finally finished all of that at 10:30pm. I was about to go to bed when a sudden urge to do the routine came over me. So, I told my wife that I am probably crazy but I was going to go do my routine and that she should not wait up for me. I am so glad that I did. Not only did I really need the stretching, but I tore that routine up. I went further in nearly every move than I have ever gone before. I HAD MY TOES IN THE SINGLE LEG HAMSTRING STRETCHES, AND I HAD THE GROUND IN THE SPLIT LEG STANDING HAMSTRING STRETCH. Maybe the difference was doing this routine at night when my body is warm and loose, as opposed to the morning when my body is cold and stiff. Either way I know this is still a major improvement, I am just not sure if I will have the same success the next time I do this routine in the morning (if I ever do it again in the morning, maybe nights are better for this one). I also could not give svg-p90x the opportunity to call me a sissy, and Rest was not a plan option for this day. Additionally, I have missed and am going to miss to many routines this week. I don't want to just let the whole week get away from me. Another challenge to the whole situation is, with all the new furniture occupying space in my house, there is now no room to do my workouts in the living room where I normally do them at home. I, at the last minute, and wondering how I am going to do tomorrows routine, decided that I could move to my sons room and use it as my workout room. There is a lot less space in there (close to the space that svg-p90x probably has), but there is enough. My son does not use his room at night anyway. The carpet in his room is a nice change from the hardwood in the living room, too. Great workout, I enjoyed my self thoroughly.
