Today is leg day, which as part of my temporary program change is now half marathon training day. So today I wanted to do a run on pavement, as much of my half training was on trails (to get elevation change challenges). I need to preface this with the fact that basically everything went wrong, […]

Quick log yet again… back day and deadlifts, had a lot of fun felt great after this workout. I was on a time limit so it was important to crunch the most I could into it. Once again, I’m playing catchup on typing logs so this will be for the books. Deadlifts: Sets 1 & […]

Today’s developmental day focus was squat makeup work (to replace the loss of leg day for my training runs) and to do some extra core work. Had a fantastic workout. Keeping the log short again though as I have a backlog again, although this day is officially SQUATPOCALYPSE levels of squatting. First was squat and […]

Okay quick log for arm day. Really love the bicep exercise I used the last cycle or two so using it again. Tri’s hit hard and fast. Great combo. This one is more for the record books, so writeup will be brief. Bi’s… Light Curls & Heavy Cheat Curls (curl bar): 5 sets of alternating […]

Another lost log, but this training run (which is shorter than intended due to the intensity of the 10K from two days before) was an elevation challenge – the half only has one elevation change but it’s a couple hundred feet, so to be sure that wouldn’t take me for surprise I ran up and […]

Lost this log unfortunately so this is a placeholder, but it was a repeat of last week’s chest/shoulder day with the appropriate shoulder rehab afterwards. There was a little heavier weight this time around and one or two different exercises, but mostly all the same stuff. All in all, good workout though for the record […]

Just thought I’d post something fun besides fitness, went to the Festival of Colors today and had a great time. Have a little photo gallery here. My thoughts are: it’s surprisingly fun to just pamper people with color packets and have that be a “cool” thing. Plus I could use more hugs from strangers. On […]

Today I had my Wild Trail Run 10K at Boyce Park. I don’t have official times, but I ran the race in about 1 hour 1 minute, which is good considering the route had 297ft of vertical gain up and down the hills in the park. These were backwood trails, which created an interesting challenge […]

Okay so I decided to take a rest day today and catch up on some stuff I’ve been neglecting, and one of those things is a new healthy cooking project I have for some real proper protein-heavy Oatmeal Raisin cookies. They are admittedly my first baking project and not all that tasty, but I was […]

Today was back day, and I decided to try something new. My workout plan was revised recently to focus less on constant new one rep max work (which was getting me gains consistently, but perhaps not the best ones and also necessitating injuries). So now I’m focused more on working harder for it and not […]
