That is a good story. And you wrote the experience up very nicely. You would

do well with a blog.

Pre-planned workouts are good thing

Good Afternoon Ladies,

I wanted to share a somewhat humorous tale concerning my leg workout

yesterday, hitting failure, and preplanning workouts. I don't have

a website (not real sure how to make one yet but am learning)and I

really wanted to share some laughter with at least one, if not all

of you. I really believe laughter is good for the soul and since we

are all in this together, here goes.

I started as I frequently do by doing squats (no smith). That part

of the workout was fine...the usual nice pump in the legs

afterward. Moved to extensions to finish quads for the day. Still

pretty okay but definately getting a burn and a little wobbily

afterward...not unusual after going heavy. So here I am thinking

everything is ok and I am moving on to my hamstring workout. I am a

big fan of walking lunges but I just finished building my new home

gym last weekend and somehow forgot to allow for space to do them

inside. So, out to the backyard I go. Let me preface this next

part by saying I have three large dogs (the biggest is 147lbs and

the smallest is 63lbs). They were all outside and I really didn't

think to much about it. So, I get prepared to begin my lunges

across the back yard. I go to take my first step out and realize

that maybe I worked my quads a little better than I thought as I

damn near hit the ground. Decided to lighten up the weight a little

so I could get a little bit of a workout. About halfway across the

yard all hell broke loose. I hit failure and down I went. Now,

remember I said that my three large dogs were outside, well they all

thought it would be great to dog pile me. Now, my dogs are all

friendly so it was all out of love but when you have an extra

slobbery mastiff pinning you (because your legs are to weak to get

up) and licking you every chance she gets (did I mention I was

laughing hysterically and that only encourages her more), you

realize that maybe you should remember to put the dogs up next

time.

But wait, there's more. As I am rolling around on the ground

giggling and trying to avoid puppy love, I notice that my husband

and three of his neighborhood friends are standing at my kitchen

window laughing hysterically at me...they told me later they didn't

know if me getting dog piled or the fact that my head was mostly

covered in white foamy slobber was funnier.

The lesson I learned:

preplanning leg day is a good thing...It would let me remember tiny

details like putting dogs away. It would also give my neighbors one

less reason to think I am crazy (I've been known to play soccer with

my dogs and some of neighbors think that is weird...whatever, my

dogs love it and it can be a great cardio workout just so you know).

I hope somebody got a little giggle out of my story. Remember,

laughter is good for the brain among other things.

Ah, that brings back fond memories of the dusty Rottweiler incident. I was just

finishing a grueling workout in the living room and was lying on the floor doing

abs. The Rotten Wilder had been out rolling in the dirt. She came inside to see

what I was doing and stood on my hair, looking down into my face with all of her

dusty, slobbery glory. I started to squeal and she started licking me. I started

screaming and laughing and she decided to ROLL ON ME. Yes, sweat + dirt = mud. I

finally got her off of me and I was streaked with mud from head to toe. Stupid

dog! I miss her. :-(

That's a GREAT story! I am a major animal lover, we have two

Brittanys. What other breed of dogs do you have besides the Mastiff?
