Saturday July 24, 2010

Ha what a wonderful surprise, my dog woke me up at 6 am this morning. HA love it. Anyhow here is the routine from today
Warm Up
---------
1. Flat Bench Press
w/u
135 x 5
155x5
---------
Work Sets
75% 1 RM 170lbs x5
80% 1 RM 180lbs x5
85% 1 RM 190 lbs x 5

-------------
4. Bicep Curl Barbell
75x8
80x8
85x6
--------------
Finished the weights in 35 minutes.
I have been trying to stop neglecting my cardio. For me, its been a big part of my life. I spent so many years running cross country, that I dont feel right without it. Ive been incorporating more and more this summer in an attempt to prepare me for the school year.
---------------
Finished with 20 minutes running @ 1% incline and 6mph.
Felt sluggish, but I have been training more than usual lately to compensate for my lack of training in the coming 4 days.
---
Im very excited! Today I am going to visit my friend from school in eastern Washington. He has been trying to get me to come over for some time now, and Ive just been able to clear up enough time between work and shadowing to visit for a few days. We have some pretty fun stuff planned. I believe hiking, kayaking, wine tasting, golf, and a day at the lake are all in store. I will post some pics if I can get my darn camera to work when I am back!

- Keep Pushing
