Day 3

Lifting Goals: Legs
Distance/Endurance: Running 4 miles

Today just kind of sucked. On the plus side, the girlfriend and I went or the gym together, which was fun and a good way to start the day together. On the minus, I have decided that riding the bike or the elliptical a the gym really aren't working for me at the moment so I decided to hop to and run another four miles. My body had other plans. I'm sore from lifting the last two days and by the fist half-mile my chest and legs were aching from the impact. As well my right foot seems to have got a bruise in there some where making it hard to run evenly and not favor my left. Everything seemed to be out of whack. I made it through a mile and had to walk a bit to get it together. After two, I was done. So I hopped off and did some serious stretching. Feeling better I cantered on to lift. My legs cooperated at first, but again, by the time I got to Gluts and Calves I was feeling burnt out. My foot kept me from pushing my Calves the way I wanted to, and for some reason I just couldn't get my Ass to work the way I wanted it to. So, feeling a little dejected, but still good and sweaty I called it a day at an hour-plus of gym time.

I'm sure glad that I went today, but I am also pretty glad tomorrow is to busy for me to make it in to the gym, forcing a day off, and that Saturday will just be Spin and around the house aerobics. Lots of sit-ups and push-ups in my future.

There might be a post tomorrow about the general feasting and festivities. If I don't invisible audience I wanted to wish all of you Happy Holidays.
