Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Ran a mile. Slow. Definitely better than last week, maybe a little better than yesterday. Some discomfort still, but hopefully this is progress.

| Pizza Monday at the gym today. I managed to get 4 pieces. I wanted a 5th, but there was no more pizza at that point. This is my personal definition of a bummer. I worked out at gym too. Did 10 minutes on the mutant stair-stepper thingy, and then 30 minutes on the bike. Then lifted weights: - 1x10 chin-ups @ body weight
- 1x12 lat pull-downs @ 100lbs
- 2x12 shoulder press @ 90lbs
- 1x10 4-way hip @ 70lbs (all positions)
- 1x10 4-way hip @ 80lbs (all positions)
I decided to do the 4-way hip machine because of my therabands at home broke. Also a bummer. They must have been old and brittle. I'll get more at PT on Friday. | | Comments(5) |

The 2008 LDR schedule has been posted. I've summarized the changes in my Blog. Yes, being injured and all, I get bored. ***************************** 10 minutes on super-elliptical followed by 30 minutes on the bike. Kept the heart rate up and tot a pretty good workout. Then tossed some weights around: - 1x15 bench press @ 115 lbs
- 1x10 bench press @ 115 lbs
- 1x25 arm curls @ 20 lbs
- 2x16 single-leg calf raises @ body weight

- 2x15 shoulder press @ 90lbs
- 1x12 4-way hip @ 70lbs (all 4 positions)

| Today I added another item to Sasha's "10 lame excuses not to run today" list. Today's lame excuse: computer hardware upgrade. And a frivolous upgrade at that. I bought a second graphics card that matches my first so that I can run in dual-GPU SLI mode. Thank you ebay. Now I can do 3D GIS faster. Maybe I should get some games too, but I'm probably not cool enough for that. Anyway, as with all computer activities I got completely sucked in with motherboards, power supplies, fans, drivers, and settings, and the next thing I knew it was 8:30PM. At that point I had time to either do a cardio workout at the gym or my PT/core work before bed, but not both. I went with the PT and core work, which doesn't involve putting on shoes.

| Went to the gym in the morning. Did 20 minutes on the arc trainer thingy and then biked for 30 minutes. Got a vigorous sweat going and kept the HR high. I ran out of time for lifting, since I had to get the car over to Car Smart at 10AM for oil change/tire rotation, but did a set of 11 chinups before I had to go. | | Comments(2) |
