Chocolate milk was a goood choice

Day 5
After my MBA class this morning the last thing I wanted to do was Legs and Back, so naturally I took a 2 hour nap first! We powered through the workout and my legs were definitely tired by the end. We decided to start drinking chocolate milk and take vitamins after each resistance training work out after Luke did some research online about the P90X Recovery Drink (see comment 3).

After our own recovery drink, we planned on sitting in the hot tub at our main pool. Luke insisted that we walk there in our robes. Now I felt awkward about this - I mean, this isn't our pool in the backyard. I'm not waking up to make a pot of coffee. I'm not grabbing the morning paper off the driveway. Or any other reason people typically wear robes in public. When is the last time you saw someone walking around your apartment complex in a robe at 4 pm? Well needless to say, just as I was burying my face into Luke's back out of embarrassment on our walk over, we were heckled. I laughed it off and started to scurry to the tub.

We sat in the hot tub (awkwardly with another guy who was silent and kept going under water for what seemed like minutes at a time) to try to loosen up our muscles and it seemed to help. Although, I found the best remedy was immediately after the hot tub. I was so tired and relaxed after sitting in the hot tub, that I laid on the pool chair with my feet dangling off the end while I waited for Luke to dry off. It was then that I realized that if I bounced my feet up and down, there was a cross bar hitting just perfectly on my upper calves that gave me the "good hurt." Back we walked in our robes - this time sans heckles. Although, I was hoping that guy was still out there because I do want to ask him where he got his flower boxes! Tonight was date night, but I was so exhausted that I went to the movies in my pajamas.
