Don
was scheduled to come over for the final episode of the Baseball documentary by
Ken Burns. We would be watching the
modern/steroid era and eating spaghetti, garlic bread and drinking
smoothies. I tend to eat too much when
we have these nights, so I made my way to the Metropark with the intention of
doing the Survival Workout to be followed by an hour on the trainer.
The
Survival Workout went well. I’d been
struggling with it over the past several weeks, having difficulty getting to 80
push-ups and just feeling lethargic. I’d
decided to give it a couple of days off and was pleased when I was able to
notch 85 reps on my first set. I have
been incorporating lower body jumps and hops back into the routine, but
continue to shy away from the sprints.
I’m waiting for the lower abs/groin area to be pain-free before
returning to those. I managed 24
stations before returning to the car, which is a very good workout for me.
Once
home, I quickly changed and mounted the trainer since I didn’t want to give
myself a chance to back out of the double.
I managed an hour before needing to get in the shower and put the final
touches on the dinner. Don would likely
run late…usually 30 minutes…and when he arrived at eight for our seven o’clock
scheduled meeting time, I wasn’t surprised.
We
finished the episode and talked about what we’d have to watch next. The Baseball series had taken over a year to
finish and since we liked meeting, eating, and talking baseball, didn’t want it
to end. We decided we’d start watching
baseball movies…good and bad…and starting with what we both considered the best
one ever made, ‘Field of Dreams’ with Kevin Costner.
