The show goes on...

Today was the start of a new week which means the dreaded feeling in the pit of my stomach Sunday night as I think about the 4 days of running to come. I woke up at 5:40 this morning and considered so many times to just roll over and sleep 'til noon but I kept thinking about how crappy I would feel the rest of the day and how much shit Brian would give me. So up I went jumped in the car and made the commute back to Durham (once again I'm still moving my stuff back home). I drove straight to the track regretting the decision to get up the entire time. Nevertheless I sucked it up and did it. Here's the workout we did today:

1200m in 5:39min
8x 100yds sprints (2 in 18 sec, 4 in 16s, 2 in 14s)

After finishing the run I was very happy to have that out of the way and didn't have to think about it for the rest of the day. I decided to wait until later to lift so that Zim and I could lift at the same time. Its always easier when he's there, and its nice when someone gets my intensity. So with some time to kill I went home took an awesome nap and then hit the pool to swim some laps and do some stretching in the pool. After that I headed to the gym, the lift was a bit make shift because I have currently misplaced my lift packet haha fortunatley I had a packet from this winter break still in my car haha here's the workout:

A) Split squat 5x3e (95lbs, 115lbs, 135lbs, 155lbs, & 175lbs)

B1) DB 1 arm row 3x6e (40lbs)
B2) Physioball knee tucks x15

C1) 2 DB squat to press 3x10 (35lbs each)
C2) PB bucks x 20

The lift felt pretty good, my legs feel strong but my arms still need improvement, during the season we use pushups as a punishment in practice frequently so I want to be stronger in my upper body.

After the lift I went and had a great dinner at my friend Nicole's house and then we went on a walk. I was happy that I was able to fill the day with a lot of exercise. Since I am not yet working I have a lot of free time and not a lot of cash so I need to use the time wisely haha. I'm about ready to sell my blood for a pair of new nike's. Well thats a problem for another day. I'm off to bed. Bye for now!
