BACK!!!

I am finally home.  San Jose was absolutely amazing!! I cannot imagine a better way to have spent my summer.  All the pics are up on facebook.  Unfortunately, I got incredibly busy while there, with class work, and updating this blog quickly lost priority.  But now that I am home, I am back.  For the most part I was good at working out while there.  The last week I was wiped out and developed a cold so I ended up sleeping in every morning except for monday, but I did get to the gym most evenings.  I am absolutely gonna miss that class.  I learned so much, and I made what I know will be life long friends.  I am happy to be home, and am really looking forward to getting back to school in a few weeks.

Today I got back to working out after several days off due to travel and such.  Got up around 7 this morning, and it was already hot and humid.  Started my warm up with something I have not seen in a while, a hill!!!   That mile actually felt really good, guess the work I did in Cali paid off!!  Then ran approximately 60 m in the yard.  It was fun dodging trees and running on the side of a hill! hahaha!  The plan was to run 24 total.  I was dying in the humidity.  Started with a set of 7, then 6, then 7.  Then stopped for a while, thinking I needed to be done.  But after a few mins inside, I put my shoes back on and headed out to finish the whole thing.  They were not particularly fast or anything, but I am proud of myself for finishing the whole thing.

This afternoon I headed to the basement to get a little lift in.  Started with 3 sets of 8 handstand push ups, 3 sets of 10 dips, 3 sets of 10 curls, and 3 sets of 8 military press.  Next round had 3 sets of 20 push ups, 3 sets of skull crusher series (minus the middle one), and 3 sets of behind head tricep raises with weight.  Finished up the day with 3 sets of consecutive 2 min abs, was struggling by the 3rd set but made it through.  Overall today was a good day, very productive.
