3.2 Mile Run in 28:10

With some nice weather finally hitting Boston, Jim and I hit the streets of the North End and ran through the neighborhood, over the bridge to Charlestown, all around that neighborhood before circling back to our apartment on North St. The run was tough as we were running at a fairly decent clip but constantly having to slow down and stop in some places to avoid slipping on ice and running into snow banks. Also, there were some pretty vicious hills in Charlestown that we ran up and down. We finished the 3.21 mile run in 28:10, for an average pace of 8:46 per mile with 432 calories burned.

Early Morning Biceps & Triceps

Lifted Chest & Played 25 minutes of Indoor Soccer

I had a 8:30 start time for my soccer game tonight, so rather than heading back into Boston for only a short while, I worked late then hit the gym for a chest workout prior to the indoor game. I did dumbbell press, assisted bench press, flys and cable crossovers at high, medium, and low height. Was a pretty decent workout but a bit rushed because of the impending game.

Unfortunately we lost the playoff game 0-2. It was a well contested game, but we couldn't finish the chances we had in front of the net. They were a quality opponent, but I still hate losing in soccer.

Weight = 182 (prior to soccer game)

Lifted Biceps and Triceps & Ran 1 Mile

Pretty solid day at the gym at lunch time. Armed with my handy Ipod, I lifted biceps and triceps today. I did standing dumbbell hammer curls, seated curls, long bar curls, rope tri pull down, and triangle bar pull down. After all was said and done I talked myself into putting in a 1 of a nice easy run on the treadmill upstairs.

Lifted Shoulders & Ran 3 Miles

Got to the gym at lunch time today for the first time in a long time. I am started to get back into the swing of things knowing that the wedding and honeymoon are just a few months away, and because it's been tough to get in any type of exercise outside due to the brutally cold weather. After stretching I did dumbbell shoulder raises, shrugs, seated bench lifts, & plate raises. I then headed upstairs and ran 3 miles on the treadmill.

Weight = 181 (I think realistically it should be more, I just happened to weigh myself after running and sweating off lots of temporary water weight)
