I NEED SLEEP!!!  I can do anything if I have my 7-8 hours of sleep!  I have not had that for several nights and it is about to kill me!  I think I have it figured out now though and so I am hoping for some better quantity and quality tonight.  I just need to sleep sitting propped up and since I dont have a recliner because I never have time to recline, I am going to sleep on the couch using the pillows to prop me up.  It worked pretty well last night when I finally got smart enough to move in there.

The races were tough this weekend or at least saturday was.  I was exhausted and it was windy and no crowd.  I did get a few hours of sleep that night so sunday was a bit better and the weather was perfect.  I was hoping that at home in my own bed I would get better sleep since I hadnt been coughing as much but it didnt happen.  An hour after going to bed it was cough cough cough and so after doing that for hours, I finally moved to the couch and got a bit better rest.

Squats explosive

I really wanted to just stay in bed but I knew the kids would be waking up soon and I wouldnt get enough extra sleep to make it worth while not going to workout.

narrow stance again, it was a good thing.

overhead squats

*total fail.  For whatever the reason I could not figure out how to get these done today.  I figure it is just because I have coughed so much that my core is not strong enough to keep everything tight like it needs to be.  If it isnt that than I have no idea because it just wasnt working so after two attempts of a few horrible reps, I moved on.

good mornings

*95# for 2 sets of 15

I pretty much hit the wall about this time and it was a struggle to keep working out.

pullups

*6,4,3

at least my lats had a bit left in them.

It was a pretty busy monday.  We got a slow start on surgeries and didnt finish them until after 1.  The afternoon was busy and we had a dog come in that had a pyometra so after we finished with all the dogs and then the horses it was after 5 and it was 6:30 when we walked out.

I had just gotten home and sat and talked with David some and started trying to get something for dinner when the phone rang and a sick dog needed to come in.  As soon as I hung up with them the phone rang again and now I am sitting here waiting for a shih tzu/poodle cross to get here that has been trying to have puppies for several hours but isnt getting anything out.  *big sigh*  So much for getting to bed early :(
