I didn't get in a workout on Sunday because Dave and I were traveling. We did walk around the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a good chunk of the afternoon, so that counts for something. But today was catchup day for lifting. It was accidentally a really good day for the arms!

Bench: 45 x 10 65 x 8 85 x 1 75 x 2 45 x 10

(The 85 pounds is a new personal best... that accidentally happened because I apparently still can't do basic math.)

Lat pulls: 50 x 10 60 x 8 70 x 8 60 x 16

Sooooo it's been a little while since I've posted... I've been slacking a little bit, but I've still been mostly making it to the gym twice per week. I did miss a week when I was traveling for work last month.

At any rate - no excuses. Here's a fresh start.

Today was a pretty good workout.

Bench: 45 x 10 55 x 10 65 x 6 75 x 1 45 x 8

Lat Pulls: 55 x 10 60 x 8 70 x 4 60 x 8

Run: 2.21 miles 30:00 13:34 pace

And some planks and bridges. I also have some healthy quinoa bake in the oven and a good plan for meals for this week. Onward and upward!

Getting back into my routine! The current plan is as follows:

Sunday: lift (arms, core) Monday: rest Tuesday: run Wednesday: lift (legs, back) Thursday: yoga Friday: rest Saturday: run

I don't want to lose the solid running foundation I've built, but I'd like to focus on getting stronger. I'd also like to dial back the distance and focus on speed now. I'll never be a super-fast runner, but having gone from zero to 13.1 in 6 months really forced me to focus more on endurance and distance rather than speed. So that's the plan! Here's what I did today:

Bench: 60 x 8 70 x 4 60 x 8

Lat Pulls: 50 x 10 60 x 8 70 x 4 60 x 8

Planks: 60 seconds 65 seconds 60 seconds

Another Wednesday, another gym session.

Was super tired today, but also annoyed, frustrated, and angry - which all lend themselves well to lifting. I upped my weight on all lifts and added sets of overhead presses between power cleans. I'm hoping to soon start clean and jerks or clean and presses. Yay, improvement!

Power cleans: 65 x 10 80 x 8 90 x 2 (...and a half) 80 x 8

Overhead presses: 45 x 6 45 x 6 45 x 6

Lat pulls: 50 x 10 65 x 8 75 x 4 65 x 8
