Hump Day

I decided not to lift last night and focused on cardio. I did not feel like doing either after work yesterday. I was really busy all day and exhausted when I left. I thought about stopping at a mini mart and grabbing a Snickers or something but didn't want to add that many calories before working out. It was also 34 degree's out (warm) and I wanted to spray the crap off of my car. So on the way to the fitness center I stopped by 2 manual car wash places and neither of them were open for business and both were for sale. Strange. I guess the do it yourself car wash is not the most profitable biz.

So anyway, I don't get the car washed and I didn't get a candy bar. I walk into the school and say I'll just get a power drink from one of the 5 machines they have. While browsing the machine I notice that they have one w/ reg soda and crap, one w/ the reg crap snacks then they have a machine that serves ice cream bars. Of the last two machines, one is the Gatorade and other power drinks and one is a snack machine w/ better than norm for you snacks. Like more organic chips and granola bars and stuff. I couldn't help but think they should have these at way more places like work. The snacks are a little more money but not much more. They also had a chart that described the effects of the snack. So being the huge chocolate chip cookie fan I grabbed the small bag and munched them on down. 170 calories per bag. that's about 50 or more less than Famous Amos cookies and had no funky crap like high fructose corn syrup and what not. All real crap. I will say that there were not as many cookies as the normal pack but good all the same. This did help me get threw my workout.

Warm Up - Bike 10 big effort

Core

Runners Stretch

Treadmill - walk 5, run 10 @ 7.0, walk 5, run 5 @ 7.8, walk 5 done

Cool Down - Bike 10 easy effort

Doing the treadmill felt good. I made it to 8 minutes no problem - last 2 min were tough, then on the second round the first 3 minutes were no prob but struggled w/ the last 2 again but made it. I was pleased.

Workout 1 tonight - going to increase my benching weight

Painters should be coming tomorrow from Milwaukee area

Triumph won't fire - I think due to the temps. We'll have to see how it goes.

Maybe I'll borrow the torpedo heater from dad and warm up the garage before he comes and then it'll fire up?

I'll ask a guy at work if he thinks that'd help

til next time
