08/06/08 Wed Haven't worked out in 3 days. I have the flu. Tmrrw I work out. No matter how I feel.

Thurs 08/07/08 To be honest, I still feel pretty under the weather. I've got drk circles under my eyes, my throat hurts (though it's better than yesterday), my feet are cold-sweating and I am just feeling very un-energized. I think I will give myself another day for healing.

I still feel like crap. I slept like 12 hours last night. BUt I think I can must a run later...

Hope you are back 100% soon Dave. That hot FL sun will sweat any bugs outta ya'. It's bloody freezing here today, 66F! I am envious of your "intense cardio and stretching" with your guest from out of town. Train Hard! :P T

Ha! That is my FAVORITE kind of exercise! Like I said, anytime you want to come down, you have a place to stay. I'm just a block from Gold's.

Fri 08/08/08 Finally, I felt strong enough to go at it again. Delts Military press 3X10 95 lbs Upright cable rows 3X10 Full Stack (I think it's 180 lbs...) Standing Lateral Raises 3X10 35, 30, 30 lbs Front Raises 3X10 20 lbs Seated Delt Flyes 3X10 15 lbs Then I did a HIIT Good god did that kill! But I felt the results the next morning right away. I have to start going back to HIITs. I'm considering doing 10 minutes every day or so, instead of 20 minutes 4 times a week...

Tues 08/12/08 Biceps Standing dumbell curls 4X10 45, 40, 35, 30 lbs Dumbell curl 3X8 85, 75, 55 lbs Standing Preacher curls 4X10 25 lbs HIIT on the arch trainer

Thurs 08/14/08 I did 200 pushups and then tricep dips in 15 minutes and then a HIIT. It doesn't sound like much, but it hit me hard! I'm definitely gonna do pushups more often...

Fri 8/16/08 Recovery I ended up taking a 4 hour nap! I am finally catching up on my sleep.

Sat 08/16/08 30 second rest between sets Lats Pulldowns 3X10 150 lbs Rows 3X10 150, 150, 120 Pullups 3Xfailure Tris 4X12 cable pushdowns

Where you at??

I'm still in it to win it! I was in NYC for 10 days and just wasn't able to post, though I was still training. It was cool because I switched over to cardio mixed with prison-style workouts. Lots of pushups and squats and chin ups. When I got back I was buried in deadlines. I just wrapped up a huge project, more or less, and will go back to my normal work schedule. And tmrrw I am back at my home gym. I'm full of energy and totally motivated. I think I was burning it way too hard on the cardio, so eased it back while I was in NYC. It was a good move because I feel totally fresh.

Tues 09/02/08 5 miles wrapped up with a HIIT.

Wed 09/03/08 5 miles hard run!

Thurs 09/04/08 Recovered
