Round III With The Sadist

December 16/15

So this morning was my third session with Connor and I had no clue what to expect as our initial session last Wednesday saw him destroy my legs leaving me barely able to go up or down a single step without worrying about face planting, followed up by our second session this past Saturday when he moved his objective from my legs to my arms and shoulders, though I`m happy to say they did not fair quite as bad as the legs.

So this morning I was a little apprehensive as to his objective this week and was dreading that it might be the legs once more.

I`m happy to say that my sadist wasn`t targeting my legs nor my arms this morning. No, he went after both with some Sumo dead lifts coupled with some Goblet lunges. Once he had me gasping for air we moved onto the main floor and he started pounding me through a cycle of equipment that worked my arms, shoulders, obliques, and legs.  I can honestly say that I'd prefer to go back and relive my high school football two-a-days and all that pain rather than face this workout.  All the time he kept pushing me and saying he`s an ass but just give him 3 more.........

I got through it and somehow also managed to complete my 30 minute cool down on the treadmill.

Now I`ll admit my muscles were quivering when I was done and I might have had some dry heaves when I got home, ok I did have dry heaves, but all in all I feel much better about the process.

One thing I`m learning is to not even bother and try to figure out what`s next as it`s pointless. The simple truth is whatever he comes up with is going to tax me, hurt me, maybe make me feel sick to my stomach, and more than likely feeling slightly amped the rest of the day!!!!

Tomorrow is my off day as I don`t workout the day after he abuses me as I find my body needs the rest in order to regain use of a limb or two. Additionally, Moki goes in to be neutered so I figure the least I can do is take her for a nice walk beforehand and give her some attention, pretty sure I`m the last person she`ll be happy to see come tomorrow afternoon when I pick her up so better get my puppy time in while I can lol

I`m 53 and making some changes to my life, physically for the moment but soon to be followed up with some emotionally as well. If you aren`t changing than you are moving forward.

Stay tuned for the continuing saga of a middle aged man trying to be the best he can be, well at least trying to get to the point he can be the best he can be lol
