This had to be one of the laziest long weekends I've spent in a long time!  Or so it felt... it was wonderful to sleep in every day for four days straight!  (Well one of us slept.  Ombra was up early to run, swim, and do her sit up routine every day.  God bless her!) 

Ombretta and I had little traffic and a smooth couple of hours ride out to Quogue (to Michael and Deanne's weekend home) and, fortunately, enjoyed the same traffic conditions coming home.  During the weekned, M and D got on their BMW and we all enjoyed a nice long afternoon ride out along Dune Road, complete with cocktails and a nice swim in the ocean. Otherwise our exercise on the weekend included a long walk through a nature preserve and lots of swimming in the pool, punctuated with blocks of push-ups. 

The push-ups -- a program that our Daisempai initiated for our Dojo, after Sensei Berger started it at our Koguma Dojo West -- start with a simple five push-ups on Day 1.  However, every day thereafter you add another more until you hit 250 in one day!  Now 11 days into the program, today Ombra and I are doing 55...  Tomorrow it's 60.  And at this rate we will hit our goal of 250 on October 13, 2012.  I would have thought that (after doing so many push-ups every day for more than a week) doing 20 proper push-ups in one go would get easier, but I can't say that it has... ARGH!

I hope that all my lifedotsport friends enjoyed the summer and are ready to move on to another fall/winter season.  Now that the last holiday of the summer is behind us, it's time to rachet up lifedotsport... Watch for some exciting news and developments as we enter the autumn!
