Got to the gym tonight for some cardio. I really need to buckle down to working out everyday. I'm not happy with myself at all.

Cardio-45 minutes

Treadmill
35 minutes (4 minutes walking, 16 minutes jogging at 5.0 mph, 15 minutes walking 3.5-4.0 mph)
2.46 miles

Recumbant bike
10 mintes
Level 3
2.84 miles

I was happy with the jogging today. I did add an extra minute of jogging so that was a plus.

They are doing a feature on "John Henry" right now during coverage of the Arlington Million. He looks OLD. I guess he is 31.

I think I like The Tin Man in this one

Yeah, but I'm literally at the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Some pounds have got to go.

Lets see...John Henry's date of birth is March 9, 1975. So he is 31. He was really starting to show his age, but then recently he was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease. He was started on medication for it and is looking younger. I saw him a couple days ago when I was out there to radiograph a goat.

I didn't get to see the Arlington Million. Instead I went to The Red Mile and was watching live standardbred racing and similcast racing. The Adios was raced in PA today.

I didn't make it to the gym. HOwever, I did get in some cardio at the race track. I ended up walking and jogging a total of about 1.5 miles tonight prior to the races. Better than nothing.

Hey Dev. Just stopping in to say hello!

Thanks Billie. You are actually weighing less than me right now. However, it may sound strange, but returning to weighting less than you and FItgirl is an incentive for me.

I almost didn't go to the gym today. I had a dull migraine all morning. I went to do laundry and felt horrible, sweating, shaking, migraine worse, and felt like I was about to at any minute. Came home and layed down for a bit, had some ice tea and started to feel better. The only thing I can guess is maybe my blood sugar decided to plunge for some reason. REgardless, started to feel better so went to the gym for cardio.

Cardio-1 hour 15 minutes

Treadmill- 30 minutes
Walk 4 minutes
jog 25 minutes @ 5.0
Walk 1 minute
Miles: 2.36

Recumbant bike- 45 minutes
Level 3
Manual setting
Miles: 16.2

Cardio was fantasric today. I do not know how I pulled off 25 minutes of straight jogging, no pauses. I just hit a stride and kept going.

On a different note, the office at work is in an uproar. First we receive news that one of the college girls that works on a farm we go to had devastating news...her sister, who she is extremely close to, was killed in a car accident. The new secretary gave notice. The job is not what she expected or just couldn't handle the stress so tomorrow is her last day. I'm not really surprised, I didn't think she would be able to adjust or handle the job. So I will be back running the office for a while. Next, the former office secretary who took over in the accounting office will be out for a few days since her mom went into the hospital. Last, but not least....my boss's cousin past away yesterday from breast cancer that had spread to her spine, brain, and lungs. Boss is heading out later this week for the service. Thank god the new vet started and she can step in to cover. When it rains, it friggin pours.

I'm feeling better, but I would feel great if my metabolism would kick in more.

I hit the gym again today Decent workout. However, I ended up thinking too much when on the treadmill and I kinda sorta made a decision that may bite me in the ass later. Only time will tell.

Shoulders & Cardio

Treadmill- 30 minutes
Miles: 2.32
walk 3 minutes @ 3.5
jog 7 minutes @ 5.5
walk 3 minutes @ 3.5
jog 7 minutes @ 5.3
walk 3 minutes @ 3.5
jog 4 minutes @ 5.5
walk 3 minutes @ 3.5

SA DB shoulder press
15 x 12
15 x 12
20 x 10

Front raises
10 x 12
10 x 12

Side raises
10 x 12
10 x 12

BO rear raises
10 x 12
10 x 12

Cardio was good, but legs were not happy. I had to really push to finish each segment of jogging. Yesterdays jogging sucked the life out of the legs for today. Atleast I go through today's cardio and put in decent miles. I went a little on the light side for shoulders today, but got a decent session in.
