| Location: Around and about,CA,USA Member Since: Sep 14, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other Running Accomplishments: Kinda consistently running since 07 Short-Term Running Goals: 5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00 Long-Term Running Goals: I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters. Personal: I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities. Favorite Blogs: |

| First workout of the year, last real workout was sometime in mid-Dec, not counting the snowball fights with the ladies.
Pullups/pushups - one set/hour from 8am to 5pm.
Spin - Old instructor has left and the new one needs some work. This one sounds too calm.
Abs - Kim is leaving! Not a good thing. She was a great motivator.

| Despite intentions on exercising and eating dinner, I passed out at 2pm and did not stir until 5am Sat morning. Jet lag is the best. | | Comments(1) |

| Catching up at work, took a break for KB and spin. Cut the KB workout short, because my arms did not want to cooperate. | | Add Comment |

| Again, I fall asleep before dinner. When I awaken, it's too late for dinner or yoga. Went back to work until the wee hours. All my emails have been read, but their corressponding actions will have to wait. | | Add Comment |

| Ran! And learned a new way to tie my shoes. I can't wait to show the girls. Since they'll both be teenagers by the time I see them, they probably won't think it's much of a big deal.

Spin and Abs. Since Sep I've been tracking what I eat on Fitday.com. There are other metrics it tracks as well, such as body measurements. I just updated my measurements and looked at what changed since Sep. My neck's thicker, my biceps shrank and my forearms grew. I'm turning into @#$*ing Popeye! | | Comments(9) |

Informally learning Arabic at work. I'm lousy at languages. I tried saying good morning to folks, but ended up saying seven-something. Too bad there's not Arabic sign language. I think I'd be much better at that.

Last Abs class with Kim. Bummer. I should have taken notes. I really liked her class.

Should read 5 easy miles and 1 mile of why-does-this-hurt so-much. I started out feeling real good. At mile four, my legs started feeling tight. My pace slowed by almost 2:00 on the last mile. And not from lack of trying. Luckily, it wasn't joint/foot pain. Just muscles being disagreeable. 8:41 overall.
KBs - Started to hurt my forearms again, but I now know that it will eventually go away.
BJJ - After chipping a tooth, I got a mouthpiece. After a while, it dried up, and having a dry wad of plastic in my mouth kept activating my gag reflex.
I also keep getting whupped, but at least I know I'll still be able to smile pretty. I'm am making progress. Instead of losing right away. I lose in a semi-controlled manner. |

I didn't feel up to getting choked or smashed so I went to a spin class instead of BJJ. This instructor was energetic, fun and I liked her music, but she's leaving on the 1st.
10 sets pushups/pullups/pistols stretched out from 10am to 4:45pm. My office mate probably thinks I have a weak bladder or something... | | Comments(7) |

Attempted a tempo
1 mile wu/ 1 mile cd
7:51, 7:43, 7:02
I have no idea of how to find my pace. Don't know if I started out too slow or ended up too fast. No significant wind. The temperature cooperated. I felt good starting out. Felt like the same effort throughout. I concentrated on pumping my arms faster at the end though, but that shouldn't account for me speeding up that much from the begginning, right? Maybe speedy arms is the secret... |
