Clumsy

Posted on May 31, 2012 by G

J and I were reunited once more for a Thursday lifting workout. I’m seeing less of him, though, since I’m spending less time with the machines and more time with the free weights. Today I managed to 1) whack myself … Continue reading →

Guttin’ it out

Posted on May 30, 2012 by G

Well, today is relatively cool, I guess (only 84) so I went out to the trail and ran 3 miles and some change.  The route I chose was an out-and-back where the last half mile is a pretty steep uphill … Continue reading →

Stat allocation

Posted on May 29, 2012 by G

J is on vacation today (lucky him!) so I went to the weight room all by myself. It was okay, but I missed having him with me– we don’t really chat or anything but it’s a bit of moral support. … Continue reading →

Reevaluating stretching

Posted on May 25, 2012 by G

I’m afraid it’s reached the point of “too hot to run comfortably outside most days” now.  Yay summer in the swamp.  Pushups, then 3 miles on the treadmill today; not half bad but I kept having problems with my left … Continue reading →

Strong in body, strong in mind

Posted on May 24, 2012 by G

Yet another Thursday lifting workout. My arms need a break! They’ll get one this weekend. For now, I’m contenting myself with lots of stretching. Standing around? Stretch those arms wide, grab your hands behind your back and stretch your chest. … Continue reading →

My arms!

Posted on May 23, 2012 by G

Today was Week 1, Day 2 of the Hundred Pushup challenge.  First, it’s amazing how quickly my body is adapting!  On Monday I cheated my way through half of them (I admit it!) but today I didn’t have to.  Second: … Continue reading →

Tight legs and triggers

Posted on May 22, 2012 by G

J and I spent our ritual Tuesday time in the weight room. I stuck to upper body and core stuff and gave my legs a break. It’s interesting how my body reconfigures itself to deal with a new set of … Continue reading →

Rain rain rain

Posted on May 21, 2012 by G

I dressed to go out for my run today during a lull in the drizzle, hoping that I would catch a break.  I didn’t, and wound up running 3 very wet miles.  It was less than ideal, but look on … Continue reading →

Friday quickie

Posted on May 18, 2012 by G

It’s a beautiful day but I had limited time so I snuck outside for a quick 2 miles around my work neighborhood. I ran out of gas after a little while– that’s what I get for not eating breakfast, I … Continue reading →

I love a challenge.

Posted on May 17, 2012 by G

The other day I was bragging about my upper body strength (/flex, etc) but then I realized: I can’t do a standard pushup. I can struggle through a few of them knees-down, but after 10 of those I’m about done. … Continue reading →
