OOO.201 Cardio Intervals
96/81 (174/147) 739/44
ach, i completely did the wrong routine. i was SUPPOSED to do Cardio Confusion & Abs Core +! i’ve since moved it over to the end of week 7. hopefully MZ will do Yee for Core tonight (which she did with me, awesome..). mom went even further than i thought she could during the cardio, even further than what i recommended for her. the sudden desire: wouldn’t it be great for me to live to 80 and for you to still be with me at 97?

both elbows very funky. not much improvement on pulls but this could be because i’ve been doing random chin ups (went from 2 to 4 in the last 2 weeks) Pavel style at least 3 times a day. push however made some ridiculous gains. wonder if the joint ache pre-workout was in anticipation: notice that arms felt taut and ready to burst moreso than chest or back.
Balance Cycle, Week 6, REST
RY.Power Yoga – Flexibility
mostly rest, should’ve done some ab work as well but just wasn’t up to it. odd soreness in the elbows and pee’s like nuts: too much water but according to some, i should be drinking .1 fl oz per calorie burned. so let’s say i chew through 2000 calories a day, i should be drowning through 200 oz of water. insane. i got up to 120 oz and i couldn’t stop peeing.
Balance Cycle, Week 6, CARDIO 2
P90X+ Interval X Plus
90/75 (163/135) 756/53
Didn’t really feel like “bringing it”, however it looks like overall my heart rate has steadier, slower than previous workouts (last Interval X was back in late October), which is supposedly a good thing. MZ had said something like this would happen, that it would become increasingly harder to exhaust your heart.
but my heart’s already exhausted but that of course is a different thing altogether. and not my heart either. i’ve always had an old soul, despite my desperate dreams of immortality.

a little bit easier but still harsh, good strong sweat, labored breathing. standard fair. increased the weight and was able to swing it. there feels room for a bit more increase, but i don’t want to lose form. kinda defeats the purpose otherwise.
Balance Cycle, Week 6, YOGA
P90X.04 Yoga X
The original, gut busting, joint popping, tickle-me-elmo sweat drenched stretch that begat couples yoga saturdays. renewed vow that we must do this more often, but not too often. perhaps during recovery week? once a month or so, alternating between OOO Horton Yoga and Budokon in between.
watch me
no you don’t have to listen. i can’t make you listen. i can’t make you do anything. but you can watch. you can watch me fall apart, you can watch me scratch at the scabs and gnaw through the callouses. you don’t have to listen, but you can watch how i disassemble, how i grieve, how i mourn, how i choose to no longer breathe. you see watch me struggle through every move, every step, the agony of getting out of bed, out the door, into the world. you can watch how i strive for oblivion, for anarchy, for entropy, for collapse.
