Yeah, needed to drop some weight this summer for better form and high protein diet works the best for me.

5 days of rest should be sufficient for the race ( i hope..:D ).

swam for 30 minutes then sat in the sauna for 10.

not sure the sauna counts as a workout- though it is 'healthy living'

IP, lower back pain is really debilitating. If you haven't already, get some voltaren tablets from the chemist, they work like a charm :)

no need for meds, it was just catching me at some angles and activities. glad to say it's passing quite quickly. i just get paranoid with lower back issues, being a wog and all.
 
was stoked. last night i beat my 5k time, again. new time 29:09 from old time 29:37, making me 28 seconds more awesome-o! :)

took the pup for a nice healthy stroll this morning (easier to do sans the afternoon heat)
 
last night ran what I think was 2 miles @ a 7 minute pace, then swam for 30 minutes.

Brilliant!!
Have you got a goal? Or just aiming for increased fitness?

thanks n3o. no, no goal. just wanting to better my time and keep with my endurance. im running one, maybe two, races in october, and i just want to make sure that i can push through the whole thing without falling apart. :)

since i tweet and foursquare everything, i was able to look up my progress.

DATE - MINUTES:SECONDS
8/30 - 29:09 (current)
8/11 - 29:37
7/20 - 29:51
7/12 - 30:51
7/08 - 33:07 (yeah, thats what happens not doing it for a month, lol)
6/09 - 31:00
 
30 minutes swim + sauna... had a strange pain from my hip, through my ass, down to my ankle today while walking to seminar; alas, I did not run.
 
thanks n3o. i appreciate it. they are both 5k. nothing major. but 2 years ago, i clocked in at a little over an hour getting to the finish (mainly because the people i was with walked most of it and i didnt want to leave them behind). and then last year, i clocked in at around 45 minutes. granted, running a treadmill is alot easier than running on streets, some with hills. anyway, id like to do a little better this year. and i say to anyone im with that lags behind, fuck 'em. ;D haha.

full body toning tonight after work
-dumbbell lunges
-lateral pull downs
-bench presses
-shoulder presses
-bicep curls
-tricep dips
-situps

boom!
 
Hey everyone. I'm getting my ass back in the gym more regular now, been a little lazy this year. Been going for the last week though and feel great. Today I worked back and biceps,
-1.25 mile 15 min warmup on treadmill
-Lat pulldown
-seated row
-close grip pulldown
-dumbell curls
-seated curl machine
-10 min cool down treadmill.

Now its 420, time for a roast :)
 
meh, got lazy last night. didnt do the lunges. and i traded the lat pull downs for pull ups. also, ran 2 miles and did jump rope for about 15 minutes before weight training.

ive got volleyball league tonight so will only have time for cardio after work. im thinking more jump rope. i need to work on the double skip (or stop showing off, either one). lol.
 
ran 2 miles, then sprinted the straights on 2 laps (.5 miles) + swam for 30 minutes.
