Good workout. We did an extra round--Cotton-Eyed Joe was playing, and we did toe taps on the wall, and every time they Cotton-Eyed Joe, we got to throw in two decoys. Everyone was really glad when that song was over. Although the rest of the workout wasn't too bad, Round 6 was a killer and really got my heart rate up. I had to stay in plank position the entire 3 minutes, and did a jab, cross, hook, hook, on the heavy bag, then a plank jack. We were supposed to increase the plank jack by one every time through, but I got to five, unilaterally decided that was enough (my left toe was hurting) and stayed at five through the rest of the rounds.

Took the ElRay to Watkins Mill. Fastest walk yet with her. Except for several poop/pid stops and about a 5-minute break to play in Wilson Creek, we kept up a good pace.

Got to use my new heart monitor today during the workout. Pretty cool. You can see what you are doing on the monitor, then when you get home, it has already downloaded to your computer. Tells you the no. of MEP's, calories burned, etc., and gives you little graphs of how long you were in each zone. You can also wear it for exercise other than at 9Round.

Lots of ab work today. Then I went back in the afternoon and picked up my new heart rate monitor. I hope to get it online tomorrow, so I can check my workout on Friday.

Good workout. Worked on improving form during burpees and kicks.

This week, my Wednesday workout with Jared happened on Tuesday. I did ropes and the sled again, plus some core twisting which will probably make me sore tomorrow. Still heavying up on the weights.

Seemed a little easier after a day off, but today was "whittle your middle" with lots of planks and situps. All ok except for the Russian twists with medicine ball. I'm working on my form on all of this, in particular, doing round kicks--get that knee higher.

Got to haul the controls and Easter Bunny treats around this morning to set up the O'Bunny. Beautiful weather, beautiful day, successful O'Bunny.
