Work Out Log 8 May 2010

Well, I have to admit this is not going quite as planned. No too much work on Arabic or related fields got done today, in spite of yesterday's promise. Not good. I suppose there's nought to do but try harder tomorrow (which shouldn't be too hard as I'll have ample chance to talk Arabic tomorrow morning).

Now, at least when it comes to working out, I did make some progress. I managed to run 6 miles today, not a personal best by far but good progress considering I have been having trouble making it to 4 miles as of late. I rode up to the gym, got in a good, fast paced 3 miles on the treadmill, before I took a short water break (I did not have time to properly hydrate before my run as I usually do, but luckily this proved not to be a problem). I got back on and finished another mile at a more leisurely pace. I then did my standard ab workout of 100 crunches and 60 cycles, before experimenting with some other exercises. After this I got outside, knocked back a bit more water, and ran 2 miles back to my house at a good clip, without stopping once. For the first time in what seemed like forever, it did not seem to be an interminably long distance! After I was done I felt I had at least another two miles in me. Hopefully tomorrow I will have the time to hit my triceps and pecs hard and get in at least 4 miles on the treadmill, though since it is Mother's Day and all my time might be best spent elsewhere in other pursuits......... For now, good night and God bless.
