Posted on May 28, 2013 by G

Apps, run!

Posted on May 27, 2013 by G

I had the day off due to the holiday (happy Memorial Day, everyone) so I took my time getting around to my Monday run.  I didn’t get out the door until around 2, and I was very grumpy about it.  … Continue reading →

Super strong!

My lifts felt easier today and I think it’s time to bump up the weight on a few of them. This is fantastic! I haven’t had a bump since I came back to lifting, after the 5k. I feel very … Continue reading →

Monday’s Manifesto

Posted on May 20, 2013 by G

It seems like it’s been a while! It hasn’t really, I guess; I doubled up on Thursday, was sore as heck and skipped my run on Friday, and took the weekend off as usual.  Today I got out for an … Continue reading →

Piling it on

Posted on May 16, 2013 by G

Very good lifting day today! I lifted All The Things and wore myself out to the point of minor clumsiness (not the best result, but so it goes). Bucket list of lifts: Bicep curl, pec fly, SKULL CRUSHERS (heh), bent-over … Continue reading →

Legs combo

Posted on May 15, 2013 by G

My desire for a lifting legs day and a good ol’ run collided today, though it was constrained by the fact that I have a long meeting this morning. I was in before 7, so I got to the gym … Continue reading →
