Day 20 - Pay Attention

Day 20.  So I am still behind but I am closer.  Kenpo today.  I love kenpo.  Except when I stop paying attention to that I am doing and where I am doing it.  More about that later.  This was the last workout of the first phase of P90X.  I made it!!! Three grueling, pain inducing, torture they call P90X.  But I am starting to love it. Another symptom of becoming a P90X zombie.  Thinking back three weeks isn't really that long.  I do remember some really long days.  So now after this workout I start my recovery week.  New workouts and new pain.  This could get interesting.  So where was I... Ah Kenpo!!! I hope to be one lean mean butt kicking machine.  So lets get in to this workout.  I go through the warm up and burst into the real work.  I am going all out.  I think I am trying to be in need of the little bucket.  I am giving it all I got.  not even ten minutes in I am sweating bullets.  OH YEAH!!!  BRING IT!  So this continues until the first break.  I grab a little water and BOOM!! I am back at it running in place. then some jump rope.  And then jumping jacks.  Remind you this is during the break.  then comes X-ups.  In these you jump and make an X with your body.  For some reason these drain me.  But in seconds we are back at it. me going all out again.  More punches later we come to time for kicks.  We start with knees.  Now here is where Tony and his (kids) have a special ability.  They can stay in one spot while doing these knees and kicks.  where I seem to move between 2-20 feet in any direction.  So done with some more its time for the next break.  All goes well until X-ups.  Remember how I said I really like this until I forget certain things? This is where that comes into play.  Now I am working out in my basement.  Which has a ceiling of about 7 feet high.  and right in the center of the room is a ceiling fan...  So I forget what I am doing and where.  I get about 4 in when I jump high and about put a hole in the ceiling with my right hand.  Ouch that hurt.  Okay you are fine keep going.  now this time I didn't forget what I was doing but I did forget WHERE.  I go up and smack my other hand into the ceiling fan.  Luckily I didn't turn it on.  So I have learned to be a little bit more careful.  The rest of the workout went well.  So on to another week and on to a better life.  I left week three with a pretty good Bang. (literally)  Week four here I come.
