5/11/03
 

7:30 AM - Ran for about 20 min to kill the nicotine crave.

7:45PM to 9:00PM - High Intensity Walk - 36 streets, 16 avenues (3.8 miles)

10:00 PM - Chest and Shoulders (Oh god, my tri's are going to hurt tomorrow. I hope I can stay motivated through the pain).

Thursday 5/12/03
 

Yep, my triceps do hurt today . . . but just wait till tomorrow! LOL

I woke up late, so I didn't manage to make it to the gym before breakfast. However, I had packed my bag to go workout last night, so I grabbed that on the way out. At this point, I am planning on walking home from work, but I am not sure of that distance or length of time. Hell, if this works out well, I can see it becoming a regular thing. Walking home from work sure beats sitting in a subway train for an hour before going to the gym.

Yikes, just looked it up on Yahoo Maps, Upper West side to Astoria, Queens is a 5.9 mile trip, including 1.3 miles of bridge (steep uphill followed by steep downhill). Yep, this should be fun for sure. =)


TO BE COMPLETED LATER . . . .


Later has arrived!
5:40PM until 7:20 I walked home, plus a 1.5 avenue sidetrack. All in all, 6.15 miles walked over the course of 100 min. Not too shabby! Hopefully within the next two and a half hours, I will recover enough to go do arms and back (pull) at the gym.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well, I didn't manage to get to the gym tonight, but I convinced a friend to walk to the movies with me. Tack another 4.13 miles onto my total for the day, rounding things out to a nice 10.28 miles. Wow!

Friday 6/13/03
 

Fridays are normally my day off, but if I have a free hour sometime today (only slightly likely), I want to hit the gym to do arms/back.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Didn't make it to the gym, but that isn't that big of a deal. Like I said, Fridays are my normal day off.

Saturday 6/14/03
 

Ahhhhh, the weekend has arrived. It is always so very easy to have enough time to workout on these days. =) After some serious house cleaning, my goals today include doing arms/back (pull) and some sort of cardio . . . probably walking for 5 miles or so.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Interesting day today, didn't get what I wanted to do done though. Around 2 PM I thought I would walk to the park and do a few laps because it was absolutely gorgeous outside. I packed up a book, a towel and made a little keto-picnic (some gouda cheese, sliced corned beef and pork rinds). I walked there and as I started to get close, the sky started to get dark. Rather than tuck my tail between my legs and head home, I decided I would ignore the sky and hope it would pass . . .

It didn't. NYC had a massive rainstorm that drenched me almost instantly. After I got home, I wrung out all of my clothes, my backpack, threw the book away and hung up my shoes over the bathtub. It was later, when I decided it was gym-time that I encountered the problem. Hmmm, should I wear my dress shoes or my sandles to go work out?

So, I got a 3 mile walk today only. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Sunday 6/15/03
 

Ahhh, another beautiful day! Spending the evening with the fan on them dried my shoes out sufficiently to go for a quick 30 min, 2 mile walk in the sunshine. I am currently catching up on fluids (I forgot my water bottle LOL), then heading to the gym for a bit.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did Arms/Back at gym
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Added another 3.33 miles later in the evening . . . 1 hr taken.

Monday 6/16/03
 

Another day is upon us!

My wife is home from doing her show, so I can now have company working out, so we will see how well that goes. For today, my goals are: 1) Walk home from work (brought clothes); 2) Do Chest and Shoulders (Push)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I didn't walk home. I met my wife instead and we went to Bryant Park to watch Broadway Under the Stars. After that, she went out and I walked home: 6.1 miles

Let's hope I can make it to the gym tomorrow morning to keep on track.

Tuesday 6/17/03
 

I managed to wake up this morning and get my Push workout down. I did the movements in the following list in 3 sets, plus a warmup. The warmup was ten repititions, while the actual sets were in the 5 to 8 repetition range.

Benchpress
Flies
Behind the Neck Press
Butterflies? (not sure what it is called)
Seated Pushdowns
Tricep Pull downs

If all goes well, I will get another lengthy walk in today. I brought my clothes to walk home, but we will see if my DW has anything to do with that.

Wednesday 6/18/03
 

This may eventually be the day I do weight lifting with my legs, but for now, it is simply a cardio day.
I spent 60 minutes on a stationary bicycle. I did 3 20 min intervals back to back (silly electronic equipment) with average speeds of 16.7, 16.3 and 19.3.

I also walked a TON on this day, probably in the 6 to 8 mile range, but I didn't record it. It was casual walking with my wife anyway.

Thursday 6/19/03
 

I slept in this morning, so my workout will have to be this evening. Arms and cardio are planned.

Ended up doing pull/abs this evening and a few lame excuses for a cardio workout.

I got off work at 5:30PM and met my wife to walk home as my cardio. She managed to talk me out of it after walking only about 1.5 to 2 miles of it (she's good at that LOL).

Later I went to the gym and did pull and abs. This is what the workout consisted of (forgive my lack of names):

Cardio: played frisbee in Central Park for about an hour with my wife. She is off and on with her ability to throw in a straight line, so I did a LOT of running. When we were finished, I collapsed in complete exhaustion. I don't think I have been that tired from a cardio workout so far and I had a GREAT time. Expect to see more frisbee days in the future, hopefully.
