Thanks, Arch. Doing what I can...

Finshed up class, went for another 3 mile jog/walk. I think I ran more in the first half, but my legs felt like lead on the way back. Ug.

Off to dinner. C ya.

I'd have to pass on the asparagus....green peppers instead....hey...where was the meat? (the good stuff)???
I just had a chicken, egg and cheese breakfast...

beach: pros and cons..
pros: get to watch the surf..relaxxing
cons: sand gets everywhere...

AM workout...

10 min bike
wu - 60 x 15, leg ext, leg curl
WU - BW calf raises x 10 ea

leg ext x 255 (machine max) x 9
SS leg curl x 255 (machine max) x 10

calf raises - 50 lb db x 20 ea

elliptical - 10 min

Much different than an hour of cardio in the AM, but still felt pretty good. I'm starting to think my legs are kinda strong.

hate that! I used to have problems with up to the 1st 1/2 to mile....finally, get my rhythem / pace and then I was ok....

little things that helped me out was: I would snap my finger to a cadence with my left heel strike. (heel hit pavement) Just something to do to distract me....if I slowed down, I'd snap faster and pick up the pace to match. Kinda silly but it worked for me.

b_reed23 · 07-11-2006, 11:40 AM

Burnsy! I do that too....also, I lift my arms up and put my hands on the back of my head...it opens up my lungs, and since I'm stretching my shoulders/back, it takes my focus off of the running.

Burner02 · 07-11-2006, 12:05 PM

I don't have that much coordination....I'd probably trip and fall if I ran w/ arms over head like that...

b_reed23 · 07-11-2006, 12:16 PM

well, I'm blonde, and I can do it

Burner02 · 07-11-2006, 12:54 PM

natural blonde?

b_reed23 · 07-11-2006, 01:30 PM

wouldn't you like to know...

Burner02 · 07-11-2006, 01:51 PM

well...duh.....

Burner02 · 07-11-2006, 01:52 PM

hey Py! Work with me here.....Billies' about to email us pics whether she is a natural blonde....

Pylon · 07-11-2006, 02:09 PM

Yeah, pretty sure that's going to require some photographic proof.

Archangel · 07-11-2006, 03:24 PM

Lookin Good Brother Pylon!!! Do what you can do, awesome job!!! And I second that, your legs are strong, thats for sure!!!

Pylon · 07-11-2006, 11:14 PM

Second w/out of the day, 1 hr on the bike.

I ate a little more today, including a cookie and mini pastry at lunch, but otherwise my diet has been really clean since I got here. Can't wait to see how the scale treats me when I get home. Also swung by the GNC less than a block away, picked up a couple more shakes and a pack of Instone pudding (banana). Yum.

DeadBolt · 07-12-2006, 10:47 AM

Py looking gooing! Cardio is really coming along great job!

Oh and I must say your food is great! I went to the recipe thread for my girl b/c she wanted some foods she could cook once a week on sunday and have it mon-fri for lunch when she comes home. Something she could make in a jiff and keep in the friedge so when she came home she had a healthy option. I got about 15 pages full of recipes and most of them where yours!

I tried a few and they are so damn awsome I have to thank you!

Oh yea and I my girl is joining a gym...not mine...but she is still joining one yippee!

Pylon · 07-12-2006, 10:58 AM

hmm...wasn't aware I had thrown up that many, but glad they worked for you!

Let me know if there is anything else you might like.

Pylon · 07-12-2006, 10:59 AM

Morning cardio - 30 min elliptical. Man, 5am is starting to feel early. I must be adjusting to the time zone...

Burner02 · 07-12-2006, 11:31 AM

is there a such thing as a healthy creamy alfredo sauce???

Fitgirl70 · 07-12-2006, 12:52 PM

Py, have you sent Arch your winners package yet?

You are still in our little comp right?

Of course I am still in, but nothing sent. I have something in mind, but will hand deliver it when I get home.

Yes, Arch, 5am is early. Keep in mind, it's west coast time, so it's like waking up at 7 at home!

Malley · 07-12-2006, 05:40 PM

Damn brother 5 in the AM, that sucks! Good dedication there!

Pylon · 07-12-2006, 07:01 PM

5am for the first of 2 workouts! Don't cheat me!

Speaking of which, w/out #2, 3 mile run, is in the books. Man I love it out here.

Noticiably better on the run today, less walking and fewer stops. Good times. I am hoping to get in the full 3 before I leave town, but won't be crushed if I don't.

Of course! Why would I share the good stuff?

Pylon · 07-13-2006, 07:59 AM

Morning w/out:

WU - bike, 10 min
WU set - raises, rows, curls, french press - 15 ea w/ 10 lb DBs
pushdowns - 60 x 15

DB lat raises - 25s x 10
DB rows - 40s x 10
DB hammer curls - 30s x 10
Pushdowns - 105 (on this particular stack, whatever that means) x 10
DB french press - 50 x 10

Guessed well, most of these were at or close to failure. I had a little problem getting motivated this morning, so just glad I made it down to lift. Glad I went, tho.
