Day 24 of 84: I Learned A VALUABLE Lesson Today..

Do not go and RUN before your strength training workout. You will be so ZONKED you won’t be able to weight train like you know you should.

I got new shoes yesterday. They were expensive. I was DYING to try them out on the treadmill so I did a Podrunner Podcast for 30 minutes. THEN attempted an upper body workout. The keyword is ATTEMPTED.

YES I did do some upper body work. It was not according to the book though.

Chest Press, 3 sets of 15 reps with increasing weight on each set. Same for Chest Flyes, Same for seated shoulder press, and side raises. Same for triceps Kickbacks and triceps dips. Same for biceps curls and hammer curls. So. I DID get an upper body workout in. it just wasn’t exactly the one I had planned.

The shoes are the BOMB. I’m so glad I bought them. They made a HUGE difference in my running today. I can see myself getting a lot of mileage out of them.

I’m feeling a little zonked today. I think it may be because I’m doing cardio 6 days a week on top of my Body For Life weight training. I may back off to just the prescribed 3 days a week if the tiredness doesn’t pass soon.

That’s all for today. I think I’m due for a nap.
