Shoulders & Boxing
Well, today is not Rest Day Friday since I ended up resting on Wednesday. I didn't do anything earth-shattering though. I had thought about maybe an easy 2-3 mile run and shoulders, but decided against running since I have a long run on tap for tomorrow.
Instead I just went home and did shoulders then Cathe's MMA Boxing DVD, which I haven't done in ages. For shoulders, I went with a giant set of 3x8 and tried out a new exercise too. Ouch.
GS
Cuban press*
Lateral raise
Front raise
*I originally watched the slower version of the exercise and it looked more like an upright row started the rep each time, so that's what I did. So I think I made it even harder, but hopefully just as effective. Loved the moved.
I followed up shoulders with the boxing workout and half of the abs workout at the end of the DVD. It was really kind of fun doing something I haven't done in so long. Plus, punching around is just fun anyway.
Fun Facts Friday - Finding Inspiration
I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do for Fun Facts Friday. I had a few ideas, but nothing that just spoke to me (in other words, nothing that I thought you guys would care to read). I thought I might share some really random, and perhaps embarrassing facts about myself. Oh...now you're intrested huh ;-)
But, I got a message from someone today that changed my mind last minute. I have been told that I inspire some people. This is very humbling for me. I don't feel inspiring by any means. I just do what I do. The fact that I can inspire someone really makes me feel think about what I do, say, how I act even. You never know who you are affecting and in what ways with the words you say or your actions.
I thought I might share what inspires me most from others:

I thought I might share what inspires me most from others:
- Honesty - it's some I highly value and respect.
- True compassion - I believe I am compassionate, but probably could be more so.
- Selflessness - because sometimes I feel extremely selfish.
- Trying - I really respect those who just try. I think maybe because I don't always go for it like I'd like.
- Perseverance - those people that stick to something, they work their asses off and achieve their dreams and goals. They don't throw in the towel when the going gets tough.
