Day 230 of 365 days.
One of the nice things about the Class with Dave group is that it forces me to get off my ass and do different shots. I actually thought of this one weeks ago, but just never got around to it. But this week with a health and fitness assignment, I thought it'd be the perfect time to do it.
Something kind of interesting about working out under 3000 watts of studio lights. You get hot really really fast. I guess in some ways that's a good thing. It's all about working up a sweat, but, damn does it get hot. It was pretty fun though, and I should work out with the heavy bag more often. The draw back is that since I was doing it alone, I didn't have anyone spotting me on the bag, and even a 100 lbs heavy bag gets some swing in it when you really lay into it. So, I fell into this routine of 10 seconds of combination, run over, press the camera button again, run back, 10 more seconds (and the bag has hopefully slowed down by the time I got back).
What I didn't get around to doing today was working on my paper. Which I really should. But I'm also kind of feeling the call of the hottub. I wonder what will prevail.
An alternate shot for today is found here.

Day 008
I haven't worked out in a month. That's pretty drastic since before then, I was working out with a personal trainer once or twice a week. I would keep doing that if it didn't cost so much and I didn't need to put the money elsewhere. I kept meaning to get back into the swing of things on my own but when I put a pair of once-baggy pants on yesterday and they fit perfectly, it was time to get my ass into gear.
They just opened the gym in the building where I work so I went to check it out today. It's pretty nice, though I'm not entirely impressed. The weights were brand new, yet really dirty already, and left my hands black. The grips are really rough, so I'm gonna have to get some gloves (I know, boohoo, right?) The treadmill is computerized and took for-freakin'-ever to get going. At the other gym you can look out onto Puget Sound as you run. Here, I looked out onto Terry Ave. and a Chevy pick-up truck. Other than that, I felt everything was adequate.
Anyway, if you are interested, here's a breakdown of what I did:
Warm-up run for 5 mins: ran .53 miles/9:56 mile pace
Deadlifts x15: set 1 @ 90lbs, set 2 @ 75lbs
Squats x15: set 1 @ 90lbs, set 2 @ 75lbs
Cleans x15: 40 lbs, both sets
Run .25 mile: 2:11/8:35 mile pace, 1:57/7:48 mile pace
10x10x10 (10 sit ups, 10 twists, 10 sit ups): 10 lb weight, both sets
Renegade rows (my favorite for some reason!): 15 lbs, both sets
I think I totally overdid it. I'm gonna hurt tomorrow! :D
Best viewed large and on black!
