More!

Yesterday, I did a 4.16mi. Jog, from my place to the end of our road and back. Felt good. Today, no running.

So far today,
3x20 pushups
3x60lbs Dumbell Bicep curls (12, 12, 4)
3x25lbs Concentration curls (12, 7, 5)
3x25lbs Hammer curls, (12, 12, 12)
2 sets of 12 Curls ups
2x25lbs Overhead Tricep press. (12, 12)

Honestly, I just got bored by the end, and distracted since my girlfriend got home from work. I plan on going for a jog tomorrow, after work.

I have the evening free tomorrow, so I think I'll treat my gf to a night out.

Running, running, running.

Day 4

In keeping with the agreement, I finally got my butt up of the couch and did some exercise. I had intended to do a 7km loop, but once I started running, the 40km head wind was a little much for me. Beautiful day, just windy. As opposed to going from my place to the top of Elgin where it meets Franklin and coming back, I instead turned off at Munch, onto Sekura where my friend Lindorm lives back to Avenue and back to Elgin. I was tracking the route using the iMapMyRun app on my phone, and the loop was 5.04km to be exact.

I found this run to be a little more difficult than I remember 5km runs being when I was in school. Goes to show what happens when you fall off the exercise wagon.

Once I got in and cooled down a bit, I was running short on time before work but tried to get in a workout. I did:

4x max pushups, 70secs rest: 34, 16, 9, 9
3x shoulder shrugs, 75#, 12, 12, 12
3x overhead press, 75#, 12, 6, 12 (on this last set, i was doing more of a squat thrust maneuver. )

Grabbed a shower and some chow then headed off to work, where I am now.

...

I just realized I forgot to grab a protein shake. Nuts. Ah well, time for that when I get home.

I'm finding that I feel very relaxed right now, likely due to the exercise and shower. It seems to be improving my attitude towards work as well as my mood. Perhaps I should try to make this my daily habit. Not like it would be bad for me.

On a final note: as much as it irks me, I need to wear my knee brace, and get new shoes.

All right then this works. Damien and I, having realized that were both badly out if shape lately, have challenged each other to do something with the remaining 100 days in the year. Today is day 2. Yesterday, I rode my bike six miles and today I did nothing.

I realize that sound bad, but you have to understand that I'm working two jobs ad running on little sleep each night. I might try to get a jog in tomorrow, but I'll start things in earnest on Monday. It's on, Damien.

Post to my blog from my phone. If so, it'll make keeping up with blogging much easier.

I simply want to see if this will work for me to
