2 Mile Run in 15:45

2 Mile Treadmill Run

The snow started coming down hard this afternoon, which provided me with the perfect opportunity to get on the treadmill and put in a couple of miles. I ended up running 2.0 miles in 15:45, before calling it quits.

Bicep & Back Workout

Bicep & Back Workout

Hit the BSC gym in Waltham for a good bicep and back workout. I started with standing hammer curls with dumbbells, then then sitting overhead dumbbell raises to work on back, then did curls on the cable machine, then curls with a long bar attachment to cable machine, then some sitting rows to work on back.

Chest Workout at BSC

Chest Workout at BSC

Got to BSC at lunchtime today and decided to work on chest exercises. I started with dumbbell press on the flat bench, then kneeling dumbbell raises, cable crossovers on all 3 heights, then finished with lat pulldowns. Feeling pretty good about the routine.

5 Mile Treadmill Run in 39:31

5 Mile Treadmill Run in 39:31

While watching the Patriots dismantle the Raiders this afternoon, I figured it would be a good idea to get on the treadmill and watch the game. I wanted to get in at least 4 miles, so I started it on 7.2 and slowly worked my way up to 9.5 for the last 1/4 mile. I felt great for the duration of the run, though I've had an insatiable thirst since I finished.

I finished the 5.0 mile run in 39:31.

1 Mile Treadmill Run + Shoulder Workout

1 Mile Treadmill Run + Shoulder Workout

Went back to the crappy BSC Natick gym since I had some free weekend time to get in a workout. I put in a quick 1 mile run on their terrible treadmill in about 7:40, then I headed to the free weight area. I did standing shoulder raises, sitting shoulder raises, standing plate raises, lat pull downs, and shoulder shrugs.
