Happy Flag Day! Got some good sleep last night and feeling no after effects of the race yesterday. Of course, I would have felt it yesterday if there were problems. I drank a protein drink and biked to the gym: Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell squat 3 sets of 8 with 55# bar Lower [...] Weekend! Yahoo! I slept in until about 6:50 before I was unable to keep my eyes closed anymore. It was raining when I got up, too, so I drove to the gym. I did a warm up on the treadmill (I got it up to 3.5 mph!!!) Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell straight leg deadlift [...] Such a gorgeous day outside! Last nice day for a while, too. I hobbled on down to make some breakfast. Protein waffles! Looks like a bow tie, doesn’t it? After breakfast and checking in at work (there was none), I went out for a short walk. It’s much easier to use the crutches still. [...] What a wonderful Saturday! I actually didn’t sleep very well last night. It was hot and we had changed the flannel sheets off the bed, so not sure if that made me restless or what, but I would like to have slept in some before the ride. Nevertheless, coffee and breakfast always make things better [...] The start of the weekend! I got it going with a fantastic weight lifting session. I got to the gym at 7:15 – I sure know how to sleep in on my day off, don’t I? I jogged 1 mile on the treadmill for a warm up, then hit the iron: Chin ups: 2 sets [...] I totally rocked the weights today! I puffy heart lifting and I missed it last week, but my muscles were glad for the break. Today I tried some pyramids with a couple of the exercises. That involves increasing the weight on each set while decreasing the reps. Hard! Chinups: 1 set of 2, 2 [...] Happy Thursday and the last day of my work week! Yay! I *finally* will get 2 whole days off in a row. I need it. Headed off to do my run at the gym. I put on some music from the jog tunes indie podcast and just used that to do my different speedwork with. [...] Good football games over the weekend, no? I am a little bummed because the Saints play the Cards, and I like both of those teams (the Cardinals have a lot of spots on my fantasy team). One of them has to go down…. It feels much warmer today – in the 20s! It’s a heat [...] Check out the gingerbread cookie recipe if you haven’t already! I didn’t put nutritional info there because it really will depend on the size of the cookie and whether you use the protein powder or not. I took last night off from blogging and the internet in general. Unplugging is a good thing at times! [...] Hello and happy Monday! I am glad you enjoyed my winter pictures from yesterday. I love my camera (even though I drool over DSLR!). I made up a lifting program to do for the month of December. It will be 2 alternating workouts for the next few weeks. Today: Big muscle group start: Chin up [...] |
