The forces of inertia have begun their wicked siren song already. Today, though, I prevailed.

With the ability to sleep in due to the holiday, I was up late last night working on photographs. Got my regulation nine hours (I awoke at my regular ‘get yourself ready for work’ time but smiled and rolled back over), and then debated whether the workout should happen immediately or later in the afternoon. The dialogue went something like this:

ProcrastinatorDavid, stretching: “I have ALL DAY  to do this.”

PlannerDavid: “Not really. Lot’s on the plate today. Want to see Star Wars today; that’s 3 hours. Plus there’re more photos to work, and that’s at least another hour, maybe two. Don’t forget there are errands to run, cleanup here and prep for the workweek…plus we’re out of town next weekend.’

ProcrastinatorDavid: “I hate you, you know that? You have no sense of spontaneity AT ALL.”

PlannerDavid: “If by spontaneity you mean laying on the couch like a slug watching the NCIS marathon all day, then no, I have none. Let’s take a look at those ‘before’ pictures again, shall we?”

ProcrastinatorDavid, lacing up the shoes and loading up the DVD: “You are a brutal, heartless aspect of our collective personality.”

PlannerDavid:”Perhaps, but because of me we get to places on time and get things done. Complain to me when we’re a ripped mofo and unashamed  to take our shirt off in public.”

ProcrastinatorDavid, fading and defeated: “Just push the button already, smartass.”

It was plyometrics today, jump training. Fairly high intensity, but P90X illustrates modified moves for different fitness levels, and I took advantage of that. Also took advantage of the miracle of modern technology known as the ‘pause button,’ a wondrous thing. We muddled through.

I’ll not detail every move, but the workout’s broken out into segments containing four high intensity moves each, with three lasting 30 seconds and the fourth lasting a minute. Two rounds of each, with a 30 second water break every two rounds. I don’t own a heart monitor, but I was feeling it, folks. Glad that one’s over.

Thanks for reading, and thanks to the folks who’ve left comments. Please feel free to add me to buddy lists and such.

Happy Memorial Day!
