Early 5 Mile Run in 37:18
With an expected high of 52 degrees today, I figured it would be a good day to get in an early morning run. I arrived at Fresh Pond at 7am, and ran 2 easy laps around the 2.5 mile loop. I ran the first in 18:22 and the second in 18:48. I had my trust iPOD NANO with me, which helped the run go by faster. Only issue was my fingers! They almost fell off from the cold temps. Hitting the gym at lunch time to lift chest.

Biceps & Triceps
I had a great workout during lunch today. I hit the gym for 45 minutes, did standing curls (both arms) 25-30-35, then did sitting curls, 30-25-20, then 100 crunches on an incline bench, then nosebreakers each set finishing with benching the bar 10 times, 40-50-60lbs, then pull down curls 20-30-35 with both arms, then cable pull-down tri's, 30-40-50, then "sevens" meaning 21 reps using the long cable bicep bar, doing 7 reps at 3 different grips at 30-45-60, then finished with free weight, long bar (40lb bar) curls with a 5 on each side, making it 50 lb curls. Did 10, 8, and 6 reps respectively. Good lifting day, now I need some protein!

3.25 Mile Run through Downtown
Knowing the NorEaster was making its way to Boston, Adam and I took advantage of the mild weather and sunshine to go out for a 3.25 mile run. It was a good run and both of us felt much better than our previous weekend's journey through Boston. The run took us through the North End, City Hall, Downtown Crossing, Boston Common, Public Garden, Chinatown, Theater District, Financial District, and finally the Wharf before heading back to the North End. Check out the course we took through the city. http://http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=20130

Shoulders & Back to Close Out the Week
I hit the gym at lunchtime again today for some work on my shoulders and back. I did 3 sets of seated overhead dumbbell lifts, 25-30-35, then 8 sets of standing dumbbell raises, 15-10-8-5-5-8-10-15. I was exhausted after the 8 sets, but it felt good. I then did 3 sets of horizontal cable pulls 50-60-70, on the machine that I can't remember the name of. Then did 3 sets of shoulder lifts on a machine with 25's on each side, then closed out with 100 crunches. Not a bad day.

First Day Lifting Chest
Continuing my first week of regular lifting, I chose to work on the Chest today at lunchtime. I did dumbbell press with 30-35-40, did 3 sets on 2 different seated chest press machines, did 3 sets on a fly machine, then 130-140-150lbs on the assisted bench. Chest has always been my weakest muscle group. Hopefully I can start putting up more weight in the coming weeks.
