Day 8 - Stretching

Since we got an email regarding stretching today, I thought I'd let everyone know this is my absolute favorite part of the workout. Ok,ok, yes, I love punching and kicking. Well, shit, and when you get down to it, I love all the strength work, too. I'm actually trying to decide if I miss pistol squats and floor jumps. Do they hurt so good or so bad? Blarg! Mind wandering...

Stretching. There's something so invigorating about a good, deep stretch. I find that the hardest part is having the patience to hold for minutes, but short stretches just don't provide the same kind of rush. Even after a week, I'm noticing myself drop into stretches a bit further and with more ease. I'm also seeing the benefit in my ballet. I mean, I still suck, bad, but I'm looking better. Tonight I could really see some improvement in the mirror.

And, randomly, for your viewing enjoyment. Here's a couple pictures, one from the picnic.

Wow, I really am one skinny ass bitch. I definitely don't look 32. The other is of the one piece of carrot cake that I saved to nom on with my birthday lunch tomorrow. Yum! Are you jealous, Ren?
