Stupid mop, stupid injuries…

The first clause is a reference to Pearl Jam's final 'song' on Vitalogy. #ftw.

The second is more mundane: my shoulder/elbow injuries, induced by a stupid arm-wrestling challenge a couple weeks ago, and my (medial) shin splints, induced by too much jump roping and jogging––together they finally caused me just to "give up" for the last few days and REST.  After a jaunt to the beach for some body-boarding, which had my right arm aching all the way home, I was reduced to saying, "Damn it, it's always up or down, always either my ankles or my arm!" So I simply stopped doing any exercise for a few days.

So these notes are pretty off-hand, from memory.

I think on Sunday, May 5, I did…

20 minutes of conditioning, roughly like so…
3 min. jump rope
3 min. jog 
3 min. kb x 2

I think on Monday, May 6, I did…

15 minutes of conditioning, like so…
3 min. jump rope
3 min. double end bag
3 min. kb
x 2

But by the end of the workout on Monday, my shins hurt so badly, I could only
walk my second jog circuit. Crippling pain.

So the past few days I've been reading and chilling with my family. And flipping out, now and then, about fulfilling/handing in my first-year-teacher certifications/documentations.

Today, though, I did the following, with little pain…
