Tonight it was running and weights at the gym.  I did my mile in 9:30 and moved up a bit in weight on the lat pulldown machine and the bench press.  I’m already slightly sore but it felt good to work out again! That’s all for now… more gym in a few days.

Tasha and I began our rededication to fitness this week.  On Monday and Thursday, we visited the gym.  I was sore most of the day Tuesday, but it began to abate yesterday.  I ran a mile on Monday in 9:56.  Today, I ran it in 9:49.  The best part was my first four laps (out […]

Tasha and I went to the gym this afternoon.  I ran a mile in 9:54 (which is good for me) and then we both did our normal weight routine. Paul and Kara did not join us today, opting to take Kara’s new mountain bike out for a spin.  We’re going to go over to their […]

Yesterday, we hit the gym.  I wasn’t particularly feeling like it, but I made myself run 1.5 miles prior to our weights workout.  I worked hard on my pace, making sure to slow down my earlier laps so I wasn’t roasted by the halfway point.  I opted for a 5/1 negative split, meaning I ran […]

Happy Birthday, Tasha!  Today is her actual birthday, so at her request we’re spending a lazy night around the house watching TV and playing video games. But before the birthday laziness, we went to the gym!  I ran a mile in around 10 minutes (closer to 10:30) and then lifted weights.  Tasha did 2.25 miles […]

I was warned.  At work today, PW told me that I could expect 20 minutes of cardio tonight at the gym.  When I got there, he was on the treadmill and already had a sweat going.  He stopped his treadmill and told me “I have a challenge for you tonight.”  He then told me we […]

This afternoon, Paul and I met at the gym for a workout.  It started out with 20 minutes on the treadmill for another two miles in the books.  After that, we did a smallish karate workout that consisted of basics, blocking/punching combinations, and Heian Shodan.  It was a nice leisurely workout for a Sunday afternoon! […]

Tonight I got off work and headed to the gym, just to get a text message when I arrived that Paul had just left work and wasn’t sure when he was going to get to the gym.  That’s fine, I was already there… why not make the most of it?  So I did. Two miles […]

The gym workout tonight consisted of 10 minutes on the treadmill followed by a really action-packed weights workout.  Paul and I both stepped up on the chinup weight, so my arms are pretty shot right now.  Fun stuff!

Got to the gym late today (after another fairly long day at the office), where I did a short cardio workout on the elliptical.  Tasha did some laps around the track and then it was time for weights.  I felt stronger today, moving my weight up on a few machines.  We ended the workout doing […]
