I've Been Had

That's right, I've purchased pretty much the dumbest gadget out there: an iPod shuffle. My real iPod has gone up to the big playlist in the sky. It all started to go downhill when I threw it across the room while on the treadmill and it stopped putting out stereo. Crap.

Turns out I actually love running with this thing...it weight, like, three Skittles so I can barely tell i'm carrying anything. Word.

Today's Workout

-Warm-up, 4x one minute 6 mph/one minute 8 mph interval reps, and cool-down totaling two miles.
-3x8 inclined bench press
-3x10 inclined pec flies
-3x10 inclined chest presses
-3x10 bicep curls (holy crap, check out the dude in this animation), each side
-3x10 tricep pull-down things. Who the hell knows that these are called?
-3x6 each forward, lateral, and bent shoulder flies.
-3x8 lat pull-downs
-3x15 bicycle crunches
-3x10 Roman chair

I've been training since early January by myself and two of my goals have definitely been weight loss and bulking up my arms a bit. Once I start an actual marathon training program I imagine I will be doing a bit less weight lifting and more distance training rather than interval training (which aids in losing fat). Lifting will still, however, be a really important part of my regimen, albeit less of a focus.

Today's Workout

-two miles at 5.5 mph pace
-4x one minute 6 mph/one minute 8 mph interval reps, totaling about one mile
-3x15 bicycle crunches
-3x10 Roman chair

New shoes gave me a little blister, but that's pretty much normal for the first few times.

Vroom!

Well kids, here we go. I have just purchased some flashy new kicks and am ready to run. October 11th, here I come.

Oh right. I still have to pick which charity to run for and then actually register for the race but, you know, the devil's in the details.
