Lex had to get home to call some teachers.

circuit:
8 inverted rows
8 stepup pushups: one step up vertical at the chest. one push up on the ground (touch chest to step), explode from the ground to the step for a close grip push up = 1 rep
1/3 of the alphabet with 25 lb weight

heavy bag:
3 x 30 secs on 30 secs off

my hamstring feels better and i'm starting more strengthening exercises week by week. last week it was sliding lateral lunges on a slide board and also some great core work on the slide board by doing mountain climbers while always maintaining foot contact with the board.

injury status:
had a good day today. every other day or so I do band pull throughs, step ups, 30 secs of balancing and then 30 secs of squats on an angled step that i made and some drinking birds. i have a couple more visits to the Dr. before my insurance runs out and I am hoping to start increasing the weight in my leg exercises towards mid Feb and hopefully should be starting some light running by the end of Feb, 4 months after nationals.
