Wednesday

Rode bike to work...rained this morning, so I got a bit of sprinkle from the sky, but a shower from the road. All my stuff was wet when I arrived. Oh well.

Worked out with Bryan again today. Ran 3 miles. The shins have been killing me! I've never had much shin pain before, so it's a new obstacle. I'm not sure if it's because I'm out of shape, or maybe they're adjusting to the holiday pounds I've added. Hopefully they'll get over it.

Afterward, we did 10 super sets of 10s. Holy shit that was hard! I did the exact same thing last week and was fine, but today my arms failed many times. We both kept going though, and I was proud of Bryan for pushing through and not giving up. He's a bit less fitness-wise, but has the heart of a lion! Awesome partner as the inspiration works both ways.

Maybe by the time Charles comes in March, we'll both be able to go rep for rep with you!

Hey, my PT has been at a cessation for the past 3 weeks, so you are probably ahead of me now. I don't want to do any situps because of the back...want to give it more than enough time to heal completely. Having the back strain/sprain/whatever was the most miserable time of the 2000s for me. I couldn't even move my head down to look at my chest because it hurt the back. Suck.

But keep it up! Let's make 2009 spectacular!

That sucks dude. Is that what hurt when I was home?

Let's do!

Let's make 2009 awesome, or will 2009 make you awesome? HUH? HUH? Yeah!

I don't know what the means.


You think the shin pains are coming back because you've increased your mileage too much too quickly? Shoes?

I like how you said you were sprinkled on from the sky but showered from the road. All too true. I also like the, "oh well" easy-going attitude.

Life's going to throw shit at you and sometimes all you can do is wipe it off and say, "what now bitch!"

Nice Benism! Make 2009, or 2009 make you. Good stuff! Wish I could get away to do the SEAL Challenge. That'd be sweet!

My mileage isn't even high. Like 12-15 miles a week. LAME!
