Screen capture from what looks to be a crazy stunt.
Between moving training to the morning and doing these SCUBA classes at night I am running behind on making videos and getting captures.
We will try to make up for it over the weekend.
Thanks

Most people spend Superbowl Sunday watching the game.
Instead, we stayed in bed and relaxed all day. We purchased Totem Tribe and played it all day while watching:
Star Trek: Voyager: Season 7: “Endgame: Parts 1 & 2” – Good to see it end
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax – Can they make this any more preachy?
Mirror Mirror – Amazing costumes and sets, dialog was lacking.
Immortals – Gore everywhere, but amazing special effects.
Kathy Griffin: Tired Hooker – Just another one of her raunchy stand ups
A Bag of Hammers – NOT A COMEDY no matter what they say.
Jim Jefferies: Fully Functional – NSFL (not safe for life) – funny but very crude.
Star Trek: Season 1: “Pilot: The Cage” – Captain Pike.
Star Trek: Season 1: “The Man Trap” – First Kirk
Star Trek: Season 1: “Charlie “X”” – fell asleep.
I think our “sit on my butt” batteries are recharged.
Also, according to our fitbits, we only walked 2000-3000 steps (Leah more since her legs are shorter). So, you know, 7-8000 less than a normal day. We only walked from the bedroom to the bathroom to the kitchen. That’s it. We didn’t think too much about goals, to dos, or the week ahead. We just vegged.
We needed it – it wasn’t just an indulgence. Leah noticed that her pulse was up on workouts all last week, we were both very short and snippy, we weren’t sleeping well even though we were exhausted… just to name a few things. We pushed through a period of this last year in August and it lead to badness and crashing and burning. We learned to take better care of ourselves to avoid that happening again.
Professional endurance athletes train hard, and train longer than we do certainly (it’s their job). But… when they aren’t training, they aspire to be the laziest individuals around. They spend their time out of the pool, the trails, and the road with butt on couch. Napping. Legs up. Relaxing. Recovering mentally and physically.
While life prevents us doing that as often as they do, we need to remember to not go too long without a recharge day. Our batteries went from just about empty to a little over halfway yesterday, and it’s time to preserve that charge by taking care of ourselves this week, and having another day like that sometime soon.
This week’s motivation is to not let the batteries drain too much now that they have some juice. No extra-late nights, good sleep, and trying not to let the stress of the week get to us.
Do you have “recharge days”? What do you do?
