After getting up at 4:54am yesterday morning and NOT getting my morning power nap in, I was in bed and lights out by 9:40pm.  I was starting to feel sick (sore throat, aches), but I always do when I don't get enough sleep.  

I was proud of myself that I got up this morning (after being a zombie yesterday).  But with a good nights rest and a morning power nap, I am feeling better about life.

3 miles on the stair climber

3x

60 sec wall sits

10 sliding wall sits with weights (obviously, I don't know the official name)!

10 x one legged lift with bar - working the hamstrings

Lots of stretching.  When doing the butterfly stretch today, I noticed I could bring my feet in a lot more and get my legs closer to the ground.  I never would have thought.....
