The weather today was crappy. I was reassured every hour of the crappiness by my co-worker who loves to complain about any and everything. I don't blame her, she had to stand while smoking her cigarettes because the rain prohibited her to sit on the bench outside. Can you believe that? She actually had to burn a calorie or two standing while her sole purpose was to shave years OFF her life, not increase them! What a hypocrite.
When I first woke up, knowing that I was going to run today, I was disappointed in the rain. CMo and I exchanged a couple texts debating on whether or not to run. We decided to go for it.
AM: 5k run
21:56 (PR)
Well, what can I say, the run today was great. I can really tell that our running ability is improving. Not once did I feel as bad as I had felt on the previous runs. The cool weather and light rain made for pleasant running conditions. The uphills were not as taxing as they were even a week ago. When we finished (strong I might add), I was not as drained as I have been. Clearly, we are getting in better running shape!
PM: Shoulder Press
1x10 100 lb
1x8 110 lb
1x6 115 lb
1x6 125 lb
1x6 130 lb
This workout was just difficult enough to have me struggle to get rep or two on some of the sets. It forced me to stay tight in the abdomen to take pressure off of my spine. I am not used to doing a high volume of shoulder presses with significant weight. I had to stay strict and focus on form.
