Yesterday I spent at home and I really enjoyed it. After writing my blog it was off to the gym. I had a harder workout then normal because I don’t have to be hiking the pipe all day today and so I knew I could push more in the gym. I did what I call an 8’s workout, 8 sets of 8 reps with four different exercises in two rounds and no rest. My first round was deep squats, tuck jumps, chin-ups finished with a bench press. The next round consisted of dead lifts, VMO Squat, push-press and bent over row. Then I finished with a 15 min core workout and 15mins of stretching. Sounds like a lot when I write it out but it goes by fast. I don’t mind working out because it has become a part of my lifestyle.
After a shake, a big meal and some computer work I treated myself to some anime. For those who are unfamiliar with anime you might know it as Japanimaton (cringe) or along the lines of Dragon Ball Z or Pokemon. However, there are many kinds of anime out there. I like the more technical drawings with deep story lines; some of my favorite ones take place in feudal Japan with samurais and ninjas. The one I was watching had more of a military feeling and they fought in big machines. Anime is my little geek out secret that I am sharing with you. I love watching anime and it looks and sounds awesome on my Sony home theater system.
Another great aspect about being home is having my kitchen. Cooking is a great outlet for me and last night I had bbqed kebabs, rice and green beans. For dessert…smoores…Yummy! It really is better than any restaurant and I have to eat at a lot of restaurants when I am on the road. Overall, a perfect relaxing day.
Today, I have already gone for my run; it was a sprinting day for me and I have the best shoes to run in. The Nike Zoom Vomero3 makes me feel like I am running on clouds. They are my favorite shoes in the Nike repertoire and have really changed how I feel about running. Still no matter what shoes I was wearing this morning it was still an early one for me and it’s not always easy to drag my sore body out of bed and go running. But I did it and feel so good after, it’s worth it.
Now I am heading down to the city. I think I will hit up some pitch and putt. These courses are sweet 100yrd holes where you play with only a 9 iron and a putter, just the right amount of golf for an ADD person like me. I think I will head to china town for some moon buns and look for a long lost anime classic Princess Mononoke that I no longer have in my collection. Whatever I do I know it will be fun because Vancouver it a beautiful city that is full of great active people.
