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.
