Exercise today & getting ready for the long weekend

Today was the last day of work for me this week, I took the day off on Friday because my wife and I are going to be celebrating our 6th anniversary this weekend. Our anniversary is actually in June, but we had to move our trip to this weekend because of a death in the family on our anniversary.

We’re going up to the Brainerd Lakes area of Minnesota, and Hope to have a nice weekend of fun in the sun.

I don’t anticipate getting a lot of exercise this weekend, except maybe for some pushups tomorrow or Saturday. I haven’t decided which day I’ll do that yet because I’m still a bit sore from doing pushups on Wednesday.

Today when I got home from work I went out to play some tennis with my next door neighbor. We’ve been trying to play tennis at least once a week, and every time we go out, I’m amazed at how much of a workout you can get playing tennis. Quick bursts of speed, hard swings and back and forth across the court can give you quite the workout.

We played for about an hour or hour and a half, and then headed home. From there I went out and ran about 2-3 miles. It was a beautiful night out tonight despite the heavy rains and hail we had earlier in the day. Beautiful ending to a nasty stormy day.

I’m feeling pretty good tonight, although a bit sore. I’m thinking I may skip the pushups tomorrow and do them Saturday while we’re away on our anniversary trip. We’ll see.

I may not be posting for the next few days as I don’t have a laptop to bring with me, but I’ll be back to report on my pushups early next week. See you then!
