Five Weeks

Ran through George Wyth with Ruby today.

36 min run ~ Google Earth puts it at about 3.3 miles

Weigh-in: 182 lbs. God DAMN it!

Friday, December 29, 2006

Ran to 2nd and Washington with Ruby. It was getting a little dark for running with Ruby off-leash, but she did a great job. I did snicker at the fact that my route ended up passing me directly in front of the police station, with an unleashed dog. Whoops!

Dunno the time (~30 min) - 3.5 miles

Worked out at the Rec Center again. But I learned one thing: if the Shuffle runs out of battery, I have a harder time with motivation during a workout. Doesn't matter if it's music or podcasts, but having something to listen to makes the workouts easier.

26 min elliptical machine - cardio program
3x10 - 110 lb crunches
3x10 - 90 lb lat pulldown
3x10 - 80 lb leg extension
15 min Stairmaster - course 7

Man, Ruby's a good dog. She stuck right next to me the entire time, for another run.

26 min run - I'd guess the distance to be 2.5 - 3 miles.

Sunday, December 24, 2006

Took Ruby for a run today. First time I've run with her; it went really well. This'll be fun.

Run about 20 minutes - not sure of distance; I'd guess around 1.5 - 2 miles.

After a long hiatus, I got a workout in today. Went to the YMCA in Hastings - man, that's a nice facility.

26 min elliptical machine - weight loss interval program
3x10 - 35 lb shoulder press
3x10 - 70 lb lat pulldown
15 min Stairmaster

Also ran around in their maze for several minutes. That's the best workout yet!

Two Weeks In

30 min elliptical machine
3x10 - 90 lb crunches
3x10 - 80 lb chest press
3x10 - 80 lb leg curl
3x10 - 90 lb abductor/adductor
20 min treadmill - there are only two good Stairmaster machines, and both were taken

Weight check: 181 lb - Sigh. Of course, I ate like crap this week, so it's not surprising.

No workout today

Wednesday, December 6, 2006

You know when the worst possible time to go to the Rec Center is? 5 PM on a weekday, apparently. Machines are all taken - waiting in line for the crappiest machines makes it hard to keep motivation up...

  • 20 min elliptical machine
  • 3x10 - 70 lb leg curl
  • 3x10 - 30 lb triceps
  • 3x10 - 90 lb crunches
  • 3x10 - 80 lb lat pulldown
  • 3x10 - 90 lb abductor/adductor
  • 20 min Stairmaster - longer Stairmaster workout than normal, and the machine blew.

OK, one week after I started:
