Catch up time

Saturday: Went to the ymca and lifted chest, shoulders, and triceps. Then late in the day went to Pats Peak and skied for 5.5 hours. It was so much fun, I love skiing.

Monday: Lifted at DWC, back and biceps, with my friend Ray. It was nice to have someone to lift with. Then I watched the end of the girls basketball game and they lost but it was still fun. Finally I am supposed to go over there soon to play some soccer with a few friends.

mid week workout

I went the gym tonight at dwc and lifted back and biceps. My friend keren was there so it made lifting much more enjoyable and go by quicker. Afterwards we played some basketball for awhile with this other kid. We played like 4-5 games of 21 and the other kid won all but the one time I was victorious. He was really good and just toying with us the game I won I think. Oh well, it was really fun but my leg is still really sore.

Soccer and Snow!!!!

After a long day of classes, hw, and working on my project I went over to the DWC gym and played 2v2 soccer with some friends for awhile. It was a lot of fun and very tiring. Unfortunately, I either pulled or strained my right quad and it is starting to tighten up pretty bad. I iced it for 15 minutes when I got home but it didn't seem to help that much. Oh well, hopefully it won't hinder my activity the rest of the week. Also, its snowing right now :)

Sunday Sunday

Me and dad went to the gym today after church. I ran my fastest 20 minutes yet since I have been working out again so that was exciting. Then I stretched out my legs, did abs, and lifted chest, shoulders, and triceps. I bench with the bar for the first time in awhile, I am pretty weak but it feels good to be back in a routine. Thats it for now, I got to mentally prepare myself to watch the Pats destroy the Colts in a few hours :)

This past week flew by

I had a very busy and event-filled week. I am trying to finish up a group project and have been machining 8+ hours a day plus classes started this week. Also, we had a big ice storm early in the week and lost power for almost all of Tuesday. Now for what I did athletically:

Tuesday: Lifted chest, triceps, and shoulders. I didn't run because I wasn't sure if we would have hot water when I got home

Wednesday: Played basketball at night for about an hour and a half, mostly 2 on 2.

Thursday: Lifted Back and Biceps. Played basketball for about 2 hours, some 2 on 2 and then we played a game of 4 on 4 full court and it was so much fun.

Friday: Played 2 on 2 football in the gym with crusade guys, I love football, Go Pats this weekend.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

I ran for 20 minutes again although not as fast as on friday. Then I stretched out my legs real good and did some abs. Finally I lifted back and biceps. It has sure felt good to be back in the gym, now I just gotta keep it up.

Time to start lifting, running, blogging again

So I have been major slacking in all three of those departments since the summer. In light of going to Italy with Cara, Alex, and Aunt Cindy in May I figured it was time to start getting back into shape and what better way to keep me motivated then blogging!

Wed - I went skiing at loon mountain and had a wonderful time. It was a great workout to although I wasn't sore so much as tired the next day.

Fri - I got back in the gym ran 2.5 miles in 20 min on the treadmill then stretched out my legs and did a little ab work. Finished up by lifting chest, triceps and shoulders. Jesse showed me a really good shoulder workout around Christmas time this year. You do 10 reps of military shoulder press with dumbbells, followed immediately by doing 15 reps of keep you elbows at 90 degree angle with your forearms straight out and parallel to the ground, then you rotate your forearms so that they are pointing outwards keeping your elbows at 90 degree angles. Follow this immediately by doing 15 reps of having your upper arms pointing to the sides at shoulder level parallel to the ground with your forearms pointing forwards, your elbows at 90 degrees and rotate your forearms up until they are pointing at the ceiling again keep your elbows at 90 degrees. Do each of these things at decreasing weight, I did them at 35 pound, 12 pound, and 8 pound dumbbells respectively. I did two sets of this and my shoulders were completely smoked after I was done.
