Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 242

Day 242 It was a beautiful weekend. Like yesterday and the day before my plan today was to take advantage of the fantastic weather but unlike the other days I did actually head into the gym for a little bit of work with the weights.

For my workout today, I decided to do a fairly light full body workout. My bicep has been feeling a lot better, but some other parts of my body have been a little cranky. Nothing really concerning but I felt it would be a good idea to back off a little bit today.

The strength work was decently satisfying. I kept the pace pretty quick, so I felt like I working pretty hard. Afterward, I joined my client David out at the Glencoe golf course. Last week after mentioning to David about my abysmal golf performance at the stag last weekend, he was nice enough to offer to help with my game.

I met David at the driving range, where we spent a couple hrs working on my game. It was really nice to get some actual instruction. David gave me some coaching for about 45 minutes until his wife Laurie joined us at which point I was able to get some coaching from Darryl, one of the Glencoe's golf professionals.

After the golf lesson, David, Laurie and I played nine holes. I didn't feel like I hit the ball that well during my lesson but I think it definitely played better during actual golf.round. It wasn't beautiful, but it was a big improvement from last time I played.

The afternoon:

2 hours of hitting golf balls, then 9 holes with my client David.
