... three teeth.
Set up the appointment with the oral surgeon for this Friday. I will be happy to have this over and done. I've also looked into what is left for me in terms of the root canal tooth. Holy shit! If I had realized how much crap was involved, I might have just had that tooth pulled, too. (OK, maybe not; that would leave a gap, which I figure would be a Bad Thing, but still...)
This will kind of throw off my NROL schedule, but whatever. I may just restart Level 2, which I don't figure is a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Or, not. I think he's cool with your just doing two workouts a week, and that just might be the easier way to go. The program is six months long, and I figure these breaks are going to happen here and there, and I can't continually restart levels... We'll see. I haven't had teeth pulled since I lost a wisdom tooth over a decade ago, and I have no recollection of what the recovery was like, so it's hard to know how things will go.
Monday I did the B workout of Stage 2, which includes interval cardio. My vast, vast preference would be to do this outdoors, running, but that presents several problems when it's February and you have a couple of feet of snow on the ground. Somehow changing from sweaty indoor workout clothes to warm-enough outdoor running clothes and then dodging traffic, snow piles, and ice patches while eying your watch for an all of 15 minutes workout seems even dumber than cardio machines. Monday, I bit the bullet and used the step mill, which I figure I'll do on the days I do this workout at the gym. (At home, I'll use kettlebells and karate drills - much simpler.)
I've been pretty happy with the way my strength has been coming back, but dang, my endurance is still not anywhere near where it was. It'll be great when I can start to work some running back into the schedule.
