well, it's been a fairly sick and uneventful few days. i have been feeling like crap, not really motivated, pressed for time, and overall feeling the doldrums of a dreary winter. i even watched "without limits" and that didn't get me to the gym the next day. i even have the balls to say next day.
oh well. i am not happy about this past week, but it was necessary. my body has been stressed from both work and working out. my mind is feeling the stress and the break was good. but, it's time to hop back on.
i got an email concerning this season and it helped to bring my decision to the forefront. it's difficult. i can put myself back out on the line, really go for it, more than last year and still risk failure. or i can take what they are giving me and work from there. both will have sweet rewards at the end.
either way. i am back at it. today will be a running, lifting, climbing day. the running will really serve as just a warm-up. then a full stretch. static, since i haven't done that in awhile and it will get me ready to lift. then lift, hopefully a full circuit. the main things i want to focus on are overhead dumbell press, deadlift, calf raises, benchpress, lower back thingy, and then start with squats today.
pretty soon i am going to start adding in some plyo's and agility stuff. nice.
right now. abbreviated goals specifically related to athletics.
1. dunk a tennis ball by may 1st.
2. stay between 155-160 with no more than 12% body fat starting april 1st.
3. 6 days a week, something active. (running, biking, climbing, lifting, rowing, etc...) 7 days a week, situps, pushups, stretch. no excuses. start date february 1st.
those are 3. i will print them out and put them where i can see it. this is a challenge to yourself. take it, make it, and then do better.
