Week 2, Day 1 (lapse)

Yes, I've been skimping on my exercised program.

Paid for it. I will have to redo this session's push ups. I made it through 3 of the 5 sets. I'll eek out the last two tonight. See how that goes.

Completed the sit ups no problem though.

Week 1, Day 3

Really got to work on that mental focus, still catching myself losing count of both reps and sets. Yeesh.

Anyway, wasn't as challenging as I thought day 3 would be.

Was supposed to run yesterday but wrote the day off. Been getting out of bed consistently before 7:30 a.m. all week, but I slept in and got out of bed at 11:20 a.m. yesterday. Took another nap and woke up around 5:30 p.m. Was feeling pretty demoralized.

Tomorrow, run!

Week 1, Day 2

Damn. What I thought was easy on Wednesday sure does not feel like it now. Can definitely feel a mild soreness about my pects. And I'm sure I'll feel my abs tomorrow during the run like I did yesterday.

And holy jeez. What's up with my concentration? I am again having difficulty keeping track of which set I'm on out of 5 sets. ... on top of remembering and keeping track of how many reps I've done during a set.

Am doing different stretches with my legs during the rest periods between sets. Helps me keep track of which set I'm on.

Week 1, Day 1

Started the 100 push ups / 200 sit ups.

2nd column in each. Last set: 8 p.u., 12 s.u.

Hope it's not raining tomorrow so I can run.

Small Notch

Tonight, just now.

• 8 push ups
• 15 sit ups

Don't really know what I'm doing with these, but these numbers are ugly.

I never got around to learning about reps and sets. Like 3 sets of 10 reps or something or other. I vaguely remember that you can use different combinations of reps and sets to focus your training on either strength or endurance.

I did glance at a some websites out there instructing how train to eventually do 200 sit ups or a whole bunch of push ups or whatever. Should look into that.

11th run

Walked to the park (~5 min), light stretching (~5 breaths/muscle stretched), ran the field. Brisk walk home, more stretching.

I'm still having difficulties keeping an accurate lap count. Gotta work on that concentration.

• 10 laps (?)
• 20' 03"
• 3.1 km
• 9.28 km/h (?)

I know I've gotta ease up on my pace for fear that I might get shin splints again, but I want an intense workout, dammit! Lousy shins...

• 8 push ups.
• 12 sit ups.

I've really got to improve those numbers.
