15

Yesterday I went for a nice tempo run on Hickam. Didn't plan on it, but I started out kind of fast, so just decided to keep it up. Felt great! Nice, overcast, and a bit breezy. Perfect.
7:00, 6:53, 6:50, 6:25, 6:36, 6:45 (40:31)

Only saw three other runners, none of whom were Abby's brother.

I had a massage last night for the first time in a year. It was awesome!!!!! I waited WAY too long.

Today, I kind of felt like I was undoing the relaxation during my workout this morning, but I'll just go back in a week or two. I went over to Taylor's...he's the most dedicated, so we decided to do stuff on the weekends too.
Supersets. He increased his reps to 10. Did fantastic. After 10 sets, I was feeling good, and he was feeling good enough, so we did 5 more. Felt great! I'm finally getting back into shape!
Finished with 5 8-count bodybuilders.
30 minutes: 450 Pushups and Situps

Then we ran an easy 3.2 miles on some rolling hills. Nice day, rainy and cool.

Neff

Neff joined us for PT today! He's the guitar player in rock band, one of my best buds here.

We had command PT in the morning, where I had them do 8x15 pushups and crunches.
Then, Taylor, Karl, Neff and I continued outside. We did 3x10 dips, 2x7 of all 5 pullups, 3x30 arm haulers, 2x25 each neck, and one set of the monster situps.
Then, 1.5 miles fast, and 1.5 cooldown.

Totals:
120 Pushups
450 Situps
70 Pullups
90 Dips
90 Haulers
100 Neck
3 miles

Call Sign

Just a thought. Everyone in the band keeps asking me what I'll have for my call sign at flight school. I'm under the impression that it's just kind of given to me.

Your thoughts and input?

Here's what has come up at the band hall: "Prince Charming, Wolf, Badass, Twinkle Toes, Airwolf, AntonAnton, Frenchie, Ensign"

I don't get Twinkle Toes. You shouldn't either. ;-)

Blogs

I wonder who'll be next to alter their title...

Tuesday Pyramid

Yesterday I did a full pyramid for the first time in a year or so. It sucked! I was dizzy and dehydrated, saw stars, almost blacked out, and almost threw up.

We spent the morning in wind ensemble rehearsal, and I didn't have my water since I wasn't singing. Thus, I didn't hydrate much before the run and workout.

Taylor and Karl ran with me, and Colleen (Karl's wife) was dubbed the first female to tackle the lunchtime BAMFs. She's MVP of the month just for that!

I GPSed the route we usually run through Hickam officer housing, and it was just over three miles.

Nice easy run.

Then, we stretched a bit, and jumped right in. Karl and Colleen did modified pullups. Taylor is greatly improving on real ones. Awesome! Me too. They're feeling better.

The workout:
1-10-1 Pullups, x2 Pushups, x3 Situps.
Total: 100 Pullups, 200 Pushups, 300 Situps.

Some of the pullups were pretty weak, but I attempted 100 of them.

(I just realized how lame my wording is for my posts. I usually write them when I'm tired of studying, so they're quite simple and drab. *Please note, most of my literature creations utilize language far beyond my typical slang in vocalized conversation, making people wonder if I honestly composed it in the first place...)

HILL!

Today was fun. I decided to tackle one of the HILLs again today. My apartment faces one of the mountain ranges, and some of the roads wind up the faces. It sucked running there when I was out of shape, but I figured I try again today. It was hard, but I felt good.

Without eating too much this morning, all I had in me was two miles up, then back down.
Four miles total. Nice. Two productive days.
7:51, 8:09, 6:02, 7:00
29:02

Ate

Nice medium long run today: 8 miles.

Awesome weather today. A cool wind from the north east, light showers all day, low 70s, high 60s. Felt nice! I actually got a bit chilled. ;-)
I found a run/bike trail about a half mile from my place. Just followed it out for four miles, and it kept going. I'm wondering if it wraps all the way around the harbor...

Total: 8 miles
59:15
7:37, 7:43, 7:27, 7:34, 7:15, 6:59, 7:01, 7:36

Good news! The admiral told me yesterday that he's going to do all that he can to make sure I go to flight school!
