Go, you chicken fat, go away!

:)

What a crazy week last week turned out to be.  I ended up working 'til 5 in the morning Thursday and Friday.  Saturday I spent all day preparing for our move in three weeks.  I got a lot done, so that's good.  It was nice to start this week out with a run.  Hopefully I won't follow the trend of the last few weeks, start out good, then peter out.

Pu-pu-su challenge

barely 4 pull-ups

25 push-ups

100 sit-ups - instead of doing the isometric 2 count crunch, I thought I would save time and just do normal sit-ups.  I quickly realized how much it was working my quads.  I stopped at 100 because of the burn in my quads, but my fat belly felt fine.

I averaged in the low 8's today.  Not bad, but I felt like I was still holding way back.  My hammy's still very tight.  I think it's because I haven't been stretching properly.  Guess what song was going through my head this morning?

I was going to do my 3 mile neighborhood loop again, but when I saw one of the youngsters waiting for the ALA bus I decided to run to the next stop where my boy gets on and see if I could beat the bus there.  That didn't mean I sped up.  In fact I'm sure I slowed down.  But I did get there just as the last couple of kids were boarding.  I was surprised that my boy doesn't have a nice seat with his name on it at the front of the bus.

I saw Fat Slob with Little Dog today.  And I saw one of the desperate housewives with Tall Shaggy.  I did 4 regurlar pull-ups when I got home followed by three reverse close-grip pull-ups.  Maybe my next project will be to post a video of me doing pull-ups.

Time - 29:42 (avg. pace 8:45)

Splits - 8:45, 8:49, 8:43, 3:25 for 0.40 (8:37 pace)

This morning my Garmin was off the charger and the little band that holds the straps together was taken off.  Emily got a hold of it.  I turned it on and started my warm-up.  It would not locate satelites.  I placed it on the ground in the open and let it cook some more. Still nothing.  Then I turned it off and turned it back on.  Nothing doing.  Has anybody had this problem?  After I took it off when I got back home it sounded a little wiggly inside.

The run was good.  Nice and slow.  It's warming up, but it's so beautiful out.  My hammy still won't let me run fast.  I don't want to take any time off from running but maybe I need to.  Nah.  I'll get fat.

Time - 49:16 (avg. pace 8:47)

Splits - I guess I'll have to ask Emily about this one...

I ran the Village Loop today.  That is all.

Time - 30:31 (avg. pace 8:24)

Day 22 P90X - Yoga X

I kind of took a break from P90X for a couple of weeks.  I was getting a little soft.  I thought my daughters might enjoy doing yoga with me.  They enjoyed it for about 9 minutes.  Then it was too hard or too boring.  But they stuck with me to the 90 minute end.  Yes, Kelli, by then my heterosexuality had been severely compromised.
