Wasn't watching this one this week. Just a good intro

I'm sorry loyal readers - a week got away from me there. Shrug. I'm here now, so let's catch up.

I'll start with the good - morning sessions continue without interruption. I'll say that it varies between 20 and 40 minutes of the workout below. 

The bad is that in the evenings, not sure what is happening, but only a few evening training session and that was a 30 minute swim. A persistent cough and working in a petri dish maybe. A bit of snow interfered with hiking, biking and kayaking, but I should have gotten into the garage more. I did do some evening stretching/mobility, but not a lot. 

And the weird is that I have had a few troubles breathing these days and a lot of oddly timed naps. I got home one afternoon from being a driver at 4:30pm, laying down for a nap. I woke up at 9 pm - a four hour nap. I did manage to get back to sleep for an night at 11, to sleep in almost to 7 am the next day.  I actually injured my ankle the other day while sleeping - went to bed feeling fine after a day of work, woke up with an inflamed ankle and trouble putting weight on it. A sprain from sleeping. Like I said, weird. 

A lot of rest, not a lot of physical exercise. I've taken to drinking a lot more water and Advil when needed.

In any case, I've kept this morning routine:

8-10 minutes mobility - cat/cow, baby pose, push ups, downward dog, WGS, 90/90, thread the needle and pigeon stretch 

10-12 minutes of ab work - Swimming kicks, BJJ leg pummelling, putting on socks stretches and rotations, scorpion stretch, dead bugs, hydrant stretches hollow ab hold, clamshell and reverse clamshell stretches ... and push ups. 

10-12 minutes of 35 lb db floor presses, banded bicep curls, banded overhead presses, standing hip CARS
