Up at 4:30 AM and there was a sheet of ice outside from the icing and freezing rain all night. It was bad. I left for the metro station and my car made it only halfway up a small hill (there had been no plowing yet). I lowered the gear, backed up slowly and took…

Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym just before 5:50 AM. Today was chest and back and at first I thought about taking it a bit easy because my abs are pretty sore from the leg lifts yesterday (which were pretty intense). But then I remembered what it was I was trying to do…

Up at 4:30 AM. I ate only part of my breakfast this morning. It wasn’t that I wasn’t hungry, but that those Skittles I ate last night burned out all of the taste buds on my tongue and I couldn’t taste anything. Or what I could taste, tasted terrible! I was into the gym at…

Up at 4:30 and into the gym just before 5:50 AM. Today was a cardio day. I had a little more cereal than usual for breakfast and I kind of felt that gave me a little extra energy this morning.

This afternoon’s workout was supposed to be with Bernard but he never showed up. I waited for him until about 4:15 and then I got started on my own because I didn’t want to be here too late today.

Up at 4:30 AM and there was about an inch of snow on the ground. Fortunately, it was cold enough that the snow was not wet, and it was easy to scrape off the car when I went out to warm the car up. My regular train was delayed by about 4 minutes, but I…

Up at 4:30 AM. It was a cool 5 degrees out and waiting for the train, even for 6 minutes was painfully cold. (I tried to leave a few minutes later from home, but ended up hitting all of the green lights on the way to the metro station.)

I headed to the gym at about 3:15 for my arm & shoulder workout and I think I had a pretty good workout overall. The gym in Greenbelt wasn’t all that crowded, which was nice, and I managed to get in everything I wanted to do in a little over an hour (although my arms…

Up at 4:30 and I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I actually woke up around 4 AM and tried to come up with a number of reasons for not getting up and going into work. Just before my alarm went off, I turned on the light and looked across the…

Up at 4:30 AM and even though I turned the lights out close to 10 PM, I feel like I got a pretty decent night’s sleep last night. It was cold this morning, especially with the wind, so much so that I strategically placed myself behind a pole while waiting for the train, which gave…

I headed over to the gym in Greenbelt just before 3:30 PM and it wasn’t all that crowded, which was nice. (It was also warm out, relative to the last couple of days. Yesterday morning it was in the single digits; this afternoon, in the 50s.) Today was arm and shoulder day.

Up at 4:30 and into the gym by 5:50 AM. Workout #42 is special, of course, because 42 is the answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. So in honor of that, I took it a little easy on the cardio workout this morning. Also, I didn’t listen to my regular cardio…
