Que Patha

Fairly tough workout today, decided I felt good after a day off and would push the running to 20/8 run/jog, and got through it but was definitely more fatigued than normal and almost winded, so I took a longer than average break. Ended up being 370 cals and probably about 2 1/2 miles, although I forgot to check the mileage. I also did some weights today, got the bench (machine chest press) up to 150, the leg press to 330, and the lat pull down to 130. Maybe one day I'll be able to do some pull-ups, always did suck pretty hard at those. I'm kind of surprised at the speed of improvement on the weights, considering I've gone so soft on them, but I guess it's always like that at the beginning. It's always going to be a game of diminishing returns as time goes on, which sucks, but I really dont have much to complain about so far. The MP3 player is also a MAJOR improvement over read/watching close-captioned episodes of Oprah or Ellen chat-time gayness. Unfortunately, my MP3 player is my Sony Ericsson cell phone, which is predictably of much lower quality than my iPod, even though that didnt occur to me until the fact was staring me in the face. Just gotta wait a couple months and I can get an iPoo Nano w/my Citi Card points. I think I'll cut back on my run again tomorrow, do it interval stylie, and then go for 20s next week w/better speed. My running is still pretty slow, and it'd be nice when I do finally bust out the 30 consecutive minutes if I could get at least 11 min/miles workin, which is about a 5.4 or so on the TM. Also did 18+3 on the ellip at lev 3-5, was pretty easy and relaxed compared to the running

Hi GimmeDaWatch :)

Ok well I have to say this because I have to say this

I hope you really, REALLY try to stop smoking.

Secondly, honey, you are one dedicated person when it comes to your workouts! I hope I get to be like you in that respect. :)

My Zen Micro is vitally important to keeping me sane on my Gazelle Plus.

Thank you for writing on my blog in support.
