Did a run for the first time in a while. Feeling good! Love the post-run buzz. Also looks like my new running shoes & inserts (and rest) has improved my shin splints immensely. :)
 
yesterday

7-7-7-7
bench press

4 x superset
dumb-bell fly
dumb-bell press

3 x superset
incline dumb-bell fly
incline bench press

incline bench burnout

today

2 supersets
7 right-arm dumb-bell snatch squat
7 burpees

4 supersets
250m row
200m sprint

Hitting the crossovers hard to try and get that inner/upper chest development.

Good job Ali! :)

It's amazing how good it can feel after doing it regularly for a bit. It's still not my favourite exercise, but I do love the post-run euphoria. :)
Are you running anywhere nice, or just your neighborhood (like me)? I envy PI being able to run on mountain-tracks in the wilderness. :|

Edit; today I swam a few laps while the kids splashed around. Great balmy night for it. :)

3 miles or 3 metres? ;)

Seriously, though, this is great to hear. Distance running will really help you feel a lot better all day. It's really one of those hobbies that's "about the journey, not the destination."

Make sure you take just as good care of yourself in the kitchen, as they work hand-in-hand.

Hope you are well my friend. :)
 
COTB, I hadn't thought of how lucky I am in a while to live where I do. I will add my ability to run in the woods to my list of gratitude.

Ali Good for you, man. I am doing my first mountain trail 10K on April 14th.

redleader nice to see you back to healthy livin.

4.6 mile trail run in 48 minutes. Personal best.
I haven't done shit all this week so it better be.
 
^ Thanks! It feels really good to be addicted to this stuff again! :)

F*** this noise. 8)

3x12s on:

ab crunch machine
ab rope crunch
hanging leg raises
oblique cable pulls
torso rotation machine

I hope I didn't pick something up at the gym, though. My throat's tickling a little bit. I'm in that nervous 'I don't know if I am getting sick' stage.

Treat your body well in that you get plenty of sleep (tack on an hour or two to the usual amount you get), eat plenty of wholesome food and keep up good hygiene practices, and you should be okay--I've picked up numerous things over the past couple weeks while people around me are coming down with some serious colds/flues, and the most I've got to date was some sniffles and a stuffy/runny nose. :)

I had a dream I went to the gym. Does that count? It was quite the workout. ;)
