06/11/02 Finally, I'm back on track. Hiked up and down Cowles Mtn (one hour) and came home and did my exercises 180 sit ups, 60 lunges, exercise ball stuff and weight training. I started on my legs today on my new weight bench. It works pretty well, I did leg extensions and knee lifts (I think that's what they're called) I'll have to look up in my weight book. I'm now working on getting my hamstrings stronger as they are weak. I'm also stretching more as my left calf and entire leg has been tight since the 100 miler. I'm also noticing that I have been fatigued and that I need to get lots of rest! There's a fine line between getting rest and getting up early enough to do my training.

Tues & Thurs leg work. Mon, Wed, Fri sit ups and exercises.

Future goal, get under 160 pounds by July 30th. Any more will be a bonus. I think I'll be adding muscle with my weight training and the pounds might not drop much. I want to be really strong for the JMT fastpack and anything under 163 will be my lowest weight in ten years! I'm also setting a realistic goal.
