^^ Because I don't have my log book or any proper equipment :tear:

On bench yesterday, I did 12 machine plates by 15 reps, 16 machine plates by 10 reps, and 18 machine plates by 8 reps...

And the DBs only go up to 50lbs :tear:

I'll start keeping a log again once I find a better gym; Sara's got one at her office but I want to check it out before we join it.

That semi-homeless feeling definitely sucks, Glex; at least it's not as crappy as me missing so much in your log:duh:

I hope you find a good gym soon, you Rush-military crazy man.

Fallen: Yeah, definitely. Soon :ughfingers:

Bulkboy: I'll post numbers as soon as I get into a good gym.

Beno: Haha, yeah, it sucks knowing I have to go to a crappy gym.

BigE: Thanks for stopping in! No worries, man, life gets crazy sometimes.

Hit up some running today:

Running: 35 minutes
Medium pace. Running is starting to get easy again, which means I get to start mixing things up :hsughr: Only problem with that is the running around here sucks; I'll have to find a high school or something to run around. Then again, maybe I don't need to worry about it so much because I also want to swim and bike this summer.

So are you on vacation over there and your nowhere near your regular gym? Even so get off your ass and find a decent gym :no:

And dam you Americans for getting the whole of summer off, we only got like 6 weeks :tear:

^^ I'm on break but I just got a job :no: And I'm planning on joining a decent gym now that I have money :no:

Did some running at the local high school today and did an upper body session after:

Running: 28:30 minutes total
6 minute warmup
1.5 mile run - 9:40
12:50 minute cool down/run/interspersed with pullups on the soccer goals (I stopped the watch)

Then I did:

Machine Bench Press
Standing DB Shoulder Press
Superset: DB side laterals and shrugs on the bench press machine
One arm t-bar rows
Various tricep exercises
Alternating DB Bicep Curls
Abs

Aftermath:

I'm a little disappointed I didn't hit 9:36 on the 1.5 mile run (that's the ROTC max), but I did some 40 yard dashes after the warmup 'cause Tweak wanted to know my time, so I'll blame that :ughfingers:. I think the fastest I recorded was 5.19, but that's without blocks and timing myself so I'd probably be in the high 4s.

^^ Thanks for stopping by :wave:

Well, I was a runner before I was a weightlifter and I like running. That and it's one of the easier ways for me to lose weight, along with swimming. Right now losing weight is my priority, even if I have to sacrifice some muscle (which will surely happen, especially in the legs!). Also, I'm debating doing a triathalon later this summer. So there's a few reasons, and I'm probably also a little psychotic and masochistic.

Speaking of which:

Running: 54 minutes
I took the first half and second half out in the same amount of time, which is odd considering the second half has way more upwards hill action satisfaction :e5dunno: The hills were long and the sun was hot today, boys :xyxthumbs: Also threw in a few striders and some abs aftewards.

Sweet crap Glex, I can't usually bring myself to drive for 54 mins straight, let alone run that long.

What has you in Monroeville for the summer?

Bulkboy: Doesn't hurt me...unless something's outta wack...

Turkish: I like running :hsughr: The running around here sucks, though :disgust: I only have one option from our apartment, otherwise I have to drive to go running. So in that respect, it is getting a little boring.

Dstan: Yeah, I've done a triathalon once before. My goal will be to beat all the women this time :49:

BigE: :bowroflarms: I frequently drive 3 hours to see my girlfriend during the school year, too. I must have a longer attention span than I thought :e5dunno: Sara's job has me in Monroeville for the summer, I'm working at the Denny's here.

Fallen: Actually, I've debated it before. I think I do want to do a marathon at some point; if it goes well this summer I might start some marathon training into the school year and do one in October or November, but I haven't put any serious thought into it yet. I probably won't get into it this year, but we'll see.

Like I told Eric, I finally got a job :hsughr: I'm waiting tables at a Denny's...meh, it's money, right? Today was my first day, and I only spilled drinks on one person :49: Other than that I picked it up easily; I worked in a restaurant for a year. We'll see how my training suffers from the job, though, because my legs are tired now!

A job's a job; proximity to Sara probably outweighs any cons that you could attatch to the situation.

Just watch out for those stinking zombies, Glex:ughnoes:
