A marvelous night pumping iron

Friday, April 30th, 2004

Did the full shot of weights tonight. Upper, lower, shins, abs. Didn’t get too much of the “bonk” feeling. When I felt it starting I went and took a short break (maybe 5 minutes) and got a power gel from my bag (they are expiring in a month anyway). Went up [...]

Finally I get to run

Friday, April 30th, 2004

2 miles and 20 minutes of crosstraining (stepmill). I also did a 1 mile walk afterwards as a cool down relax time. My shin was kinda tight for most of the run, which bothers me, but it didn’t hurt afterwards. I ran it under the cold water in the gym shower until [...]

Stupid

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

Last night I went to my son’s science fair so no running. Halfway through it I looked down at my sneakers and realized I was wearing two different sneakers. One running shoe, one cross-trainer. I had to leave the room because I started laughing so hard. I think I need 1) [...]

Wrong shoes again!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

I had plenty of time to get my 2 miles and 20 minutes last night. Opened my gym bag to find (once again) I had packed my old cross-trainers. No problem, I’ll just run in these. Wrong. I never noticed how worn they were in the heels until I tried to [...]

Run and cross

Monday, April 26th, 2004

Sunday I rode the bike for 20 minutes and then ran on the treadmill for 2.0 miles. My left shin felt a little crampy again but not sore like last time. A good run, but slow, 12:00 pace. Needs to be slow right now anyway.
My legs and upper body are killing me [...]

Weights!

Saturday, April 24th, 2004

Did weights today and kicked some butt at it too. Went up in everything and I can see it slowing now so I am definately maxing out the muscles on the workouts. I’m hoping the increased muscle strength in my legs will improve the running. I have to believe that higher leg [...]

My first run!

Saturday, April 24th, 2004

I haven’t done anything since…geez…I haven’t done a darn thing since I don’t know when. I didn’t get to do weights Wed because I ended up still feeling ill. Thursday something came up so I couldn’t get to the gym. So FINALLY I had had enough and I went to the park [...]

It makes me nervous to watch ice skating.

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

When I watch ice skating competitions, I just know that eventually one of them is going to fall. You just know it. They are going to fall on their butt and its going to be so darn embarassing for them. I can’t watch it.
I had a similar issue tracking the [...]

What a great Boston race!!!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

I tracked the Boston marathon runners from the V-board online on Monday. So very cool to them ticking away the miles. I was plotting some of them on a graph to see their rates and i was really surprised that for the most part, their rates did not change. I thought that [...]

I was sick yesterday.

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

I was lucky to make ithome from work. Gorey details unneeded.
Monday I did 30 minutes on the bike and some walking. The bike is killing my back. Its good for me but I need to start breaking it up again with stepper and stepmill.
Weights tonight.
My shins feel good [...]
