Sprints, Chest, and Cookies :)
Today I went to the ymca right after work and began my workout with about 2.5 miles of interval sprints. The track is between 1/7 and 1/8 of a mile and I did 20 total laps with a warmup and cooldown and 6 sprinting laps with jog laps between them. Needless to say I was pretty tired after I was done. Then I stretched and did abs.
For my chest workout I began with two warm sets of 10 reps on bench of 95 and 135 respectivly then did 3 sets of 6 @ 155 flat barbell bench press. I followed that with 3 sets of 6 @ 45 pound dumbbells incline bench press, then 2 sets of 10 @ 30 pound dumbbells flat bench flys. I finished off my chest with 2 sets of 6 @ 10 extra pounds dips.
When I got home I figured what better to recover from my workout then with birthday cookies. They were presents from two girls at dwc and man were they good :) .

sorry it took me so long to get back to your question - sounds like you're doing alright! you definitely just have to experiment and it depends on your workout, you tend to be able to eat more for lifting, or at least denser, than if you're going to do cardio. i usually go for 1-200 calories of something light, like dry cereal. some people swear by a banana +/- peanut butter. energy bars (powerbars for ex.) are great too, maybe just a half of one. just keep experimenting, see what works best for ya!
heh. kate, how do you eat 1 calorie? ;-)
oooooooo...Cara's gonna be mad you posted pictures of cookies! :P
Hey Peter,
I leave for France tomorrow at 8pm. Actually, I hvae an overnight flight to London first, then taking train to France on Saturday morning.
I have this theory that whatever you do every day is easy. Until last summer I ran 3 miles most days and going much further was always painful. Then I upped it to 6 in July and after a couple of weeks of running that distance almost daily, it got to be easy. I'd love to go even farther, but it's hard for me to budget more than 1hr a day (with pre-run procrastinating, cleaning up after).
