Day 19 - Quality over Quantity


As I mentioned yesterday, last night was the mad dash north after work, followed by Legs and Back.  The first thing I hear Tony say is ‘today is about quality over quantity’, well that’s good as both of us are exhausted and I’m in a bit of a mood that draws more than one glare from my wife.

So, slipping the disc into the player we start at 9pm, after a 2 hour drive north and trying to get the kids to get to bed.  We’re in the middle of wall squats, legs quivering from either being tired or still asleep from the drive, not sure which.  We’re getting into a zone with Tony when he says ‘Crimp my hair Mom!’, guess that was our oldest daughter, not Tony!

Finally get the girls to bed and we push our way through, trying to focus on form and quality.  Chair and single leg wall squats go well, 80/20 and speed skater not so well as our balance is off and we’re both having to re-gain it.  Today is day 6 for week 3 and also end of ski race season, thank god.  We’re looking forward to the day off tomorrow and hopefully our energy returns Monday.

On the personal side, we’re both enjoying being with each other each night, despite my mood last night and being exhausted.  High-fiving at the end and being proud of each other.  So Tony, we’re getting both time together and a lot of it, over 7 hours a week.   It’s not quality over quantity, but quality AND quantity, for our relationship.
