well, it doesn't come naturally for me, that's what makes me feel good about doing it..and it benefits Relay for Life...two birds with one stone

Pylon · 04-17-2008, 07:08 PM

Hey all -

Been away, tied up with the new job. So far, so good. Also, still sore from Tuesday's workout, so the rest has been good.

Billie, I will have to see about the 5k date. We are supposed to go to Chicago that weekend, so I might have to push mine back. I'll find out.

Also, Archie sent me a note that he will be away dealing with some family stuff for a bit. Keep him in your thoughts!

boilermaker · 04-17-2008, 08:25 PM

hope all is good with archie. Hey, you doing any traveling with that new job?

nadirmg · 04-18-2008, 11:39 AM

Pylon · 04-21-2008, 08:32 PM

Hey all-

Job is going well so far. I am in Atlanta this week to sit in on an all week event. I'll try to fill you all in more on what I am doing when time permits...and as I figure it out.

Hope all are well. I will try to get caught up tomorrow nite...

b_reed23 · 04-21-2008, 10:10 PM

Hi Py...hope all is well!

nadirmg · 04-22-2008, 08:24 AM

boilermaker · 04-22-2008, 08:40 AM

Fitgirl70 · 04-22-2008, 04:51 PM

Good luck in Hot Lanta....what's the weather there?

Can't wait to hear about your job!!

Pylon · 04-22-2008, 06:00 PM

Billie - The day was good. Then I got to see your new avi. Now it's better.

Nad - Thanks!

Boiler - Yup. Didn't take long.

Fitty - 80 and sunny so far. I'll take it!

Didn't sleep last night (about 3 hours total). Never sleep well on the first night. Did a quick Tabata on the bike this morning. Not too bad.

the other half · 04-22-2008, 08:00 PM

go,go,go. that's all you do.

you need to stop and relax for a few days.
good luck with everything.

b_reed23 · 04-22-2008, 10:19 PM

I don't sleep well on the last night of a trip when I have to catch a plane early the following morning. It's as if I have an inner alarm clock that keeps going off to make sure it still works. 2:00 am. Check. 2:15 am. Check.

Dude, I was off work for like a month. I am glad to be going again!

No running, but I've been eating like a pig, so I might try to run in the morning. There is a nice 1.1 mi loop right outside.

BTW, I won't be doing the 5k on the 10th. We are on vacation in Chicago that weekend, and I have been told I cannot run one there. I'll try to find one the next weekend instead.

Yup, I get that too.

b_reed23 · 04-23-2008, 10:23 PM

what kind of stuff you plan on doing in Chicago...you were just off work for a month, and you need a vacation???

Pylon · 04-24-2008, 04:06 AM

Our niece is graduating from Loyola, so we are going up for that. While we're there, we're taking the boys to navy pier, shed's aquarium, and that kind of stuff. Haven't really planned it out yet.

countryboy · 04-25-2008, 02:08 PM

Hey there....

Scarface30 · 04-25-2008, 04:52 PM

how's everything going Py? sounds like that'll be a nice little trip!

Archangel · 04-25-2008, 05:07 PM

Hope you have a safe trip my Friend, ALL is well in Archland (Thank GOD) things are looking up, thanks for being there my Friend!!!

Pylon · 04-28-2008, 06:03 PM

Hey all -

Back from ATL. Good trip, but too much food, not enough movement.

Had a great weekend (other than dealing with a sick child). Got to meet Alton Brown at a book signing. (And yes, he's just as funny and likable in person.)

Also, got back into the gym today, to go along with a clean diet.

WU - circuit x 3
Samson stretch (10 sec ea side)
OH squat - 12lb x 10
sit ups - bw x 10
back ext - bw x 10

BB Thrusters (in case you don't know, it's a front squat with a shoulder press at the end)
10 x 45lb
1 x 95
1 x 115
1 x 145
1 x 155
1 x 165 PR

1 x 165
1 x 175

Cheap PR...haven't done them before. Got 175 up 80% up, but couldn't lock out. My shoulder and knee both were barking a bit, but they feel ok.

I'll try to get caught up with everyone later!

yellowmoomba · 04-28-2008, 06:21 PM

Nice work on the Thrusters
