Squats.

4.54mi. 00:39:24.57

• First time doing cardio all by myself in months; hit the lake run hard on a chilly Saturday morning.
• Gotta work harder on the uphills and pacing; can’t slack off anymore.
• Surprisingly satisfied with the time despite my decreased cardio ability.
• Need to find more workout music; upbeat and motivating.

Squats.
Lowered my working weight to get back into it.
Countless sets at low reps.
Aiming to get my ww back to at least 70kg.
As my sweetheart says: gotta squat to get that ass.

Cardio.
Gotta get back into it all together.
Keeps my mood up and legs feeling strong.
Working to loose the extras.
Haven’t hit the pavement in so long; tomorrow morning shall be the start—4.5mi.

Weight.
Altogether, I’ve been losing without doing much, so I must be losing muscle mass; totally unacceptable.
Gotta workout and bring up my metabolism slowly.
Perhaps I’ll start cooking more and looking (but not necessarily counting) my macros.

Spontaneous gym date:

• squats, lat pulldowns before meeting him up
• bench press
• lat row
• bicep curls
• triceps
• obliques

So much upper body workout, but I guess I needed it. Though it didn’t help me keep a straight face when he’d poke the muscles we were working out throughout the exercises.

Thursday fun:

Pre-practice run: golf course.
Easy pace, light sprinkles. The run made him so sore though.

Practice: Endurance. Endurance. Endurance.

Post-practice: dinner at Wingstop. Clueless wandering in Safeway, TraderJoes, and Target. First time getting shoo’d away by a mall parking security guard. Whatacreep.

March 5, 2013 Pre-practice run

4.54mi. 00:38:21.09

Weather: high 60s, sunny/windy.

I don’t think I could’ve ran that time with my sweater on if I didn’t have his encouragement. Can’t wait to hit the lake again on Thursday!

4.54mi. 00:39:02.53

This might become a usual thing before weekday practices.

5.27mi. 00:49:03.56.

Officially breaking the many-month hiatus from running, post-NWM. It felt weird running again after four months, but that runner’s high is something I can never deny myself.

I don’t believe in resolutions, but I’m going to go to the gym more often. I have no excuse to neglect my physical fitness. Today was a good start; it felt delightful to hit the racks as the only female in the free-weights area again.
