Weight Training

I did a 1 mile run today to work on speed and as a warm up for my weight session. I hit a new personal best mile! It may be slow but 10:25 is my best yet, and I wasn't even pushing it to the max.

It's kinda all over the place, it's pretty funny. I still need to find my steady pace to run at. Every time I would speed up, I would get nervous that I wouldn't be able to finish the run, so I would taper off. I've gotta just try to keep it steady!



My Workout A was today:

Bench 4x10 @ 10-20-10-20
Overhead lift 3x10 @ 10
Squats 4x10 @ 10 -- today I did them "ass-to-grass"!
Abs 3x20
Supermans 3x15
Curls 3x10 @ 10 per arm
Tris 3x10 @ 10 with both arms

Weight Training

Did a "quick" 1 mile run before my workout "B" tonight:


This brings me very close, or ahead, of all my goals! Woohoo!

Workout B was as follows:

Incline Press 3x10 @ 10 lbs
Pullups (well, kinda) 5x5
Lunge 3x10 @ 20 lbs
Calf Raise 4x20
Abs 3x20

Overall, very strong workout, even if my pullups were more like "jump and hang for a second."
