Posted on June 30, 2015 by G

For some reason, getting back to the gym was the best thing ever. I got my 2 sets of 10 quickie lifting in, and added weight to bench and rows. (Yay!) Even squats felt good today– they could probably stand … Continue reading →

The weather’s good today and I had some time to spare and a body that wasn’t sore, so I headed out for a twofer: 3 miles running and 30 minutes swimming laps. Whew. It’s funny; my mileage for this month … Continue reading →

A wreck

Posted on June 23, 2015 by G

Post of self-inflicted grump

Posted on June 19, 2015 by G

Today I am exhausted, sore and in full grump mode. And I’m even more annoyed because it’s 99% my own fault. I don’t feel like I’ve been doing a whole lot of exercise this week, certainly not much more than … Continue reading →

HIIT, now with more HIIT

Posted on June 18, 2015 by G
