Fall ’13 Frick Park Picture Tour, a set on Flickr.

Okay, had a real fun time today. Was meeting some friends from Meetup.com out for Sunday Brunch this morning and decided to go on a stroll in the nearby Frick park first. Took a ton of photos, will post those separately, but it was a fasted walk so all the calories I burned were fat […]

Well today was a pretty awesome day, got out in the morning to the Pitcairn area for a small time 5K on a fairly flat course, was expecting to set my personal record today and bump it up a notch, how did I do? Flickr gallery: A run with the Monroeville Lions club So the […]

Just a quick log of tonight’s short exercise. I’m still resting up from arm day, tricep day was actually super effective and my triceps still hurt, so going to the gym for chest day (after tricep work) is out of the question… just requires too much triceps for most chest pressing exercises and I don’t […]

So on rest day I think that’s a good time to sit back and take a catalogue of where you stand when it comes to personal fitness and goals, etc. I weighed myself today (don’t do it every day) but found my weight has not changed at all (159.5). This is good in the sense […]

Another post-work nap day, I don’t get why my body wants to shut down right in the mid-afternoon but it’s getting kind of hard to shake off the nap bug lately. I have two rest days coming up which I hate, but begrudgingly accept. Tomorrow I work late, plus it’s Halloween so I wouldn’t want […]

I’m feeling a bit spent from the deadlifts and squats this week, and upon arriving at the gym I promptly took a 30 minute nap in my car. Feeling a bit groggy and low on energy, I immediately realized doing a full workout would not be a good idea. So instead of doing the full […]

I’m going to write out these exercise logs to just get in the habit of laying down my thoughts, but don’t be surprised if in a week or two I spare you guys a little bit by just making them simple notations of the exercise done without commentary. So long as it’s fun for me […]

Back day today was a pain… in the back! Ya get it? Back and shoulder day is always a fun time, because I got plenty to learn and do with all my back exercises. After warmups I got straight into bent over rows, grabbed an 80lb curl bar and did a set, incremented up to […]

Alright today had a pretty fun time, just thought I’d make a short record of how I performed for the first of the two 5K’s I’d been training for. This one was the Jack o’ Lantern Jog that took place out in Canonsburg, PA. My pacing was sorted out by this time and I had […]
