workout

I haven't posted in a while. Much has changed. I've been fighting inner demons, which has been a tremendous struggle. I cut my hair, which you could tell from the last picture I posted of myself.

This picture is me lifting 30lbs with my triceps. I just ran my 3 miles in 22:19. that's 19 seconds longer than I wanted, however I believe I'm actually running 3 miles now, instead of 2.6 or so.

Now that I've rested a bit, it's time for my pushups, crunches, squats, and weights. I have a new barbell, though I need more weights for it, and I'm still itching for a pull-up bar.

My cat

This is my cat Gizzy. He came into my life 15 years ago as a tiny bat eared chit of a thing.


Gizzy has lost more than half his body weight in the last few months. He's stopped eating. When I pet him he's all bones.





Tonight he sat on my lap all evening.
On Wednesday I'll have to say goodbye forever. I'm going to miss him terribly.

Bread and Water Workout

Today's workout took me out.
I found a stretch of road that is exactly half a mile long near my new place, and ran for 3 miles. After the first mile I went inside and grabbed a hat, coat, and gloves. I can't find my stopwatch (it's packed away someplace) so I do not know how long it took. I took my time.
50 pushups, 50 crunches, 50 pushups, 50 crunches.
50 squats with weights
100 side crunches.
arm/shoulder workout
I had planned to add another 50 pushups and crunches, however I did not have much for dinner last night so the granola bar and glass of water I started the day with couldn't hold up. I know when my body has had enough. I'm going to shower, shave, eat a huge portion of pasta and meaty red sauce, go buy a sub to go, pick up my car with it's new windshield, try to aquire some new rainx wipers, then go to work.
Double time and a half plus 8% for working second shift!

Wind and traffic

If I'm going to reach my goal of 3 miles in 20 minutes, I'm going to have to stop running along Elm street.
Today I ran 22m05s in high wind and rush hour traffic. Then:
50 pushups
50 crunches
50 pushups
50 crunches
50 squats with 30lbs
100 oblique crunches
Arm/Shoulder workout
50 pushups
Then I rushed off to see my cousin's first cello recital.

Healthy!

3 miles in 22m41s is not bad for no jogging in weeks.
50 pushups
50 crunches
(repeat)
50 squats with 30lbs
Shoulder workout including front and back butterflies.
25 pushups
100 side crunches
25 pushups.

Finally healthy again!

Sick again

On Monday I was sick again. I worked for 2 hours then went home and slept the rest of the day.

Tonight's workout was excellent. My stomach and my head hurt all day, until I had a sandwich and glass of water around 5. I'm really hoping I've kicked this sickness.

Workout

100 pushups
100 crunches
Not enough time for the rest of the routine.
