Catchup

Views: 5

OK, this is another catchup post… the running was actually from last night. Today’s workout was lower body weight training. My least favorite, by far 🙂

Now that this program is coming to a close, it’s time to find something else to do… so I think I’ll do some races! My first goal is a 5K race on July 4th, but there’s one on Memorial Day that I think I’ll sign up for.

(I thought I might have other plans on Memorial Day, but some people won’t bother to return my phone calls!)

Regardless, I can probably pull of a 5K by the end of the month – I just have to get off the treadmill and start pounding real asphalt.

(Edit: Feb. 2014… Ironic that I would worry about plans on memorial day weekend, considering that was the weekend I found out I had cancer.  There were bigger fish to fry, I just hadn’t realized it yet.)

Body for Life: Day 65 of 84

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.

Body for Life: Day 64 of 84

(Start of week 10)

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.

Weight: 194 (Down 1)

Body fat: 16.5% (Down .5)

Workout: Elliptical, 20 minutes
