C&M was a stretch (no pun intended) today. As usual, we did some variations/enhancements to routines we've already learned--which almost always pushes limits. This evening I'm feeling some of the after effects--tightness in my legs and back--and of course a pull to fall asleep. I didn't nap off in the afternoon, ate a warm meal, and had some dessert. Wanted to make some progress on cleaning/clearing the apartment but didn't make it that far.

Watched a film tonight--A Mighty Heart. It's a film about an actual incident--The assassination of Daniel Pearl. It was told from the point of view of his wife and the ordeal she had to live through when the abduction and subsequent murder took place. She was in Pakistan and stayed there even though she was pregnant. The film had a matter-of-factness to it--almost, for the most part, like a slightly enhanced documentary. There are scenes where the wife "loses it" but the CIA, State Department, Pakistani Terrorist Police, and dozens of other walk-ons manage to keep a lid on things--including her emotions. There was a sense of everything being acted--as if the figures on the screen were puppets or dolls that were moved in and out of scenes.

The weather has warmed some. Tomorrow I have a resistance training class plus some errands to do. The class should smooth out the effects of today's C&M session. Let there be looseness! Let there be smoothly flowing movement!
