Had an extended workout today…. mowed the yard (with a pushmower), did my upper body weights, then ran for 15 minutes. I really need to take a shower! I’ve also added some additional ab work every day, but that’ll have to wait until tonight. The end is (finally!) in sight so I’m trying to knuckle down and really knock it out of the park.

Well, I’m going to have to cool it on the running for the time being… my right big toenail is slightly ingrown, and the last thing I want to do is go through the same experience I did with my other big toe. Several months of putting off seeing the doctor, then eventually had to have the whole nail permanently removed… possibly the most painful thing I’ve experienced.

Well, my free day ended up being more like a free weekend… too much bad food.

Today at the Y I noticed two separate individuals who were textbook examples of how *not* to lift weights… they were trying to speed through the sets, jerking the weights with no control, using their backs, etc. I just wanted to grab the dumbbells away from them and swat them on the nose with a newspaper like you would a bad puppy. Ack!
