Good workout this morning, got in early and got stuff d-o-n-e. Threw in the stuff I didn't get in yesterday and left out the posterior work...hamstring feels okay but not 100%.

Cardio

-

Workout was good, had some extra time so I threw in some more chest stuff and added a couple of sets to some exercises. Feeling better today but still sniffly.

Hamstring is feeling better too, hopefully I'll be up for a heavy cardio day on Sat. or Sun., midterms are this week and next, yipee.

Cardio

Running like a crazy around the neighborhood doing errands

Really surprised myself today...wasn't feeling too hot after school (which sucked btw) but dove into the gym after getting off the El today. Can't have four days in a row with no training, I think I'd have to be comatose.

Kept workout light (both weight and timewise), really liked the movement on the leg extensions. Weight ready to upped on almost all exercises. Back again tomorrow morning.
